With roughly 1,600 artworks onboard, the brand new Seabourn Ovation doubles as a floating art gallery.
Designer Adam Tihany teamed up with curator and advisor group ArtLink to showcase as many as 120 international artists throughout the ship.
Italian sculptor Luciano Vistosi's stunning "Warrior the Second" crystal work serves as a focal point at the base of the ship's double-helix staircase rising up the middle of the Atrium.
What's more, some 400 multimedia pieces adorn the walls on Decks 8 and 9 alone. ArtLink founder Tal Danai said the goal is to treat Seabourn Ovation's corridors as if they're journeys since cruise passengers are more likely to observe art for longer periods of time compared to hotel guests who come and go.
Guests can also look forward to eye-catching black and white photographs, handmade ceramic vases, colorful paper collages, 19th-century prints and mixed media works, among other intriguing pieces.
Beyond the robust art collection, Seabourn Ovation is guaranteed to wow guests' other senses with exceptional culinary experiences by renowned chef Thomas Keller-the ship's signature restaurant is the Grill by Thomas Keller, a 50s- and 60s-themed steakhouse-and compelling music based on the works of Sir Tim Rice.
