The feeling of luxury aboard Seabourn permeates all its public spaces as well as its private accommodations. The line's upcoming new Seabourn Ovation will carry that tradition across 300 all-veranda suites when it launches in May 2018.

"The 'right at home' feeling is a hallmark of the Seabourn cruise experience, and we're pleased to invite guests to enjoy it aboard our newest luxury ship," said Richard Meadows, president of Seabourn, in a press release.

"The all-veranda, all-oceanfront suites of Seabourn Ovation will entice guests with thoughtful amenities, personal touches and even a few surprises. Designed by the world's pre-eminent hospitality interior designer, Seabourn Ovation's suites offer the style, elegance and luxury that have earned us recognition as the world's finest ultra-luxury hotel at sea, and are perfect for relaxation, entertaining, and watching the world roll by."

That interior designer is none other than renowned Adam D. Tihany applying his elegant touch to an array of accommodations:

-Veranda Suites sized nearly 300 sq. ft., with a private veranda up to 74 sq. ft.

-Penthouse Suites sized 450 sq. ft., with a private veranda of 98 sq. ft.

-Penthouse Spa Suites sized from 639 to 677 sq. ft, with a private veranda up to 200 sq. ft.

-Owners Suites sized from 576 to 609 sq. ft with a private veranda from 142 to 900 sq. ft.

-Signature Suites sized 977 sq. ft. with a private veranda of 960 sq. ft.

-Wintergarden Suites sized nearly 1,000 sq. ft., with a private veranda of nearly 200 sq. ft.

All suites will be characterized by natural light drawn in from private balconies through large windows and glass patio doors. Illuminated inside are fine yacht-like decor accented with rich mahogany woods and blue and white nautical cues while bathrooms don palatial marble surfaces.

Otherwise, common amenities across the board encompass a queen-size bed or two twin beds, selection of pillows, living area for enjoying ocean views or in-suite dining, walk-in closet with personal safe and a complimentary mini-bar with wine and spirits. Entertainment includes an interactive flat-screen TV with hundreds of movies, broadcast network television, music, radio channels, shipboard programming like lectures and live views from the bridge.

A Personal Suite Stewardess services all accommodations with welcome champagne and canapes, choice of designer soaps, replenishing ice and bar set-up, managing laundry services, helping with special requests and nightly turndown with surprises like rose petals decorating the bed.

Owner's, Signature and Wintergarden Suites will come with the bonus amenities of personalized service by the Guest Service Manager, private car transfers at embarkation and disembarkation, complimentary internet service, daily newspaper delivery, plush bathrobes, tropical fruit basket, fresh flowers, an extended in-suite reference library, and more.
