The 600-guest, ultra-luxury ship will use Miami as a homeport for a series of voyages exploring the Caribbean, Panama Canal, and destinations in Mexico and Central America from November through March.
“A first-time arrival is always special for any Seabourn ship, and Seabourn Ovation’s first visit to the U.S. and Miami will be a great start to an exciting season for our newest ship amid the tropical beauty of the Caribbean and Central America,” said Josh Leibowitz, president of Seabourn. “Miami offers an easily accessible port for North American guests and those coming from Europe, so it will be a perfect getaway as winter settles
in across those regions of the world.

Seabourn Ovation‘s Caribbean series will begin with three 11-night Gems of the Leeward Islands cruises roundtrip from Miami in November and December.
The sailings will visit iconic destinations including San Juan, Dominica, St. Johns, Antigua, Saint Kitts, and Jost Van Dyke — the smallest of the main British Virgin Islands.
