SEABOURN took
delivery of Seabourn
Ovation on Fri during
a handover ceremony
held at the Fincantieri
shipyard in Genoa, Italy.
The all-suite ship is the
fifth in the cruise line’s
fleet and a sister ship to
Seabourn Encore, which
was christened in Jan
last year (CW 10 Jan 17).
“It is with much pride that we
hand over a ship that sets the
new standard in ultra-luxury
cruising, and it is exciting that
Seabourn guests from around
the world will soon be enjoying
wonderful cruise holidays on
this magnificent luxury vessel,”
said Fincantieri chief executive
officer Giuseppe Bono.
Seabourn Ovation will kick off
her maiden season with an 11-
day inaugural voyage departing
05 May from Venice, Italy,
sailing to Barcelona, Spain.
The vessel’s naming ceremony
will take place on 11 May in
Valletta, Malta, with actress
and singer Elaine Paige to serve
as godmother.
Seabourn Ovation will spend
most of its maiden season
sailing in Northern Europe.
