Seabourn Ovation was officially delivered to her owner on April 27, 2018. After setting sail from Genoa, she was christened on May 11 in the port of Valletta, Malta by British singer and actress Elaine Paige.[6][7] The lyricist Tim Rice wrote a song specifically for the occasion.[8] The ship will spend her inaugural season in Europe.[7]

The ship is the fifth to be delivered to her owners in the last decade.[8] It has 300 suites, each with a balcony. Over 1,600 works of art, by 120 artists, are displayed aboard the ship.[9]
