Seabourn Ovation
“Encore's sister — with 300 suites and over 1,600 works of art.”
Seabourn Ovation entered service in May 2018 and is a sister ship to Seabourn Encore, built by Fincantieri in Genoa. She was christened on 11 May 2018 in Valletta, Malta, by British performer Elaine Paige, and lyricist Tim Rice wrote a song for the occasion. She carries about 600 guests in 300 suites, each with a balcony, and displays over 1,600 works of art by 120 artists. Her inaugural season was in Europe.
