Ovation of the Seas, the futuristic ship of Class Quantum of Royal Caribbean International, arrived today in Naples to be admired in all its magnificence before sailing to Asia where from June will make itineraries departing from Tianjin and Hong Kong. 348 meters long and 41.5 meters wide, 16 passenger bridges, 2.091 rooms and a gross stable of 168.666 tons, can accommodate up to 4.180 passengers.
It is not only the size to make it extraordinary, but the incredible technology it is equipped with and the unique entertainment never seen before are the strengths of this generation of ships, the most revolutionary in the world. Ovation of the Seas presents itself as a concentrate of technology and entertainment, with the aim to surprise even the most demanding guests: special effects and highly hi-tech locals, futuristic entertainment shows, cutting-edge sports activities, culinary experiences with a thousand flavors and much more.

In addition to the numerous entertainment options, modular and "transformable" spaces have been created, such as the Two70 which in the day presents itself as a large hall of "retrovo" and at night turns to host engaging multimedia shows and shows such as the original production of Spectra's Cabaret; the SeaPlex that changes appearance during the day and as a self-containing basketball track becomes a skating track, an indoor and circense school.
The entertainment continues in the Main Theater, which can host up to 1,300 spectators, where unpublished shows such as The Dream and Live. Love. Legs, and also during events and evening parties in the Music Hall.
On board you can not miss the fun for the little ones thanks to the exclusive DreamWorks Experience: in addition to the dedicated TV channel visible comfortably from your room, you can book interactive breakfasts and take photos with the most beloved characters of DreamWorks animation films such as the Cat with boots, Shrek and Fiona, Alex, Mort, and the Pinguini of "Madagascar", Po of "Kung Fu Panda" and Hiragon
The offer on board is complemented by smart services such as time-to-record boarding thanks to RFID technology; bracelets that allow you to navigate the ship, shop on board and access your cabin; apps that allow you to book in advance a table at the restaurant, excursions, appointments in the wellness center and also manage the details of the cruise thanks to a programmed agenda in real time, and much more.
Don't forget, the innovative rooms with virtual balcony and the new Royal Suites Class, which provide a range of exclusive services – including the "Royal Genie", a certified butler from the British Butler Institute, for the Premium level – divided into three levels depending on the category of the suite: Star Class, Sky Class or Sea Class.
Ovation of the Seas flagship is definitely the collection of artworks on board (curated by Peter Millard and Partners): 11,000 contemporary art creations by artists from all over the world, worth $4.5 million.
Among the most appreciated works, the installation Mama and Baby by Jo Smith which represents a pair of pandas – a symbol of luck in Chinese culture and national treasure – and which recalls the partnership recently concluded with WWF for the protection of the oceans.
From artistic works to culinary ones: to close in beauty you can not mention the gastronomic proposals of Ovation of the Seas, which reinvented the concept of catering on board offering a rose of 18 specialty restaurants such as Jamie’s Italian, Michael’s Genuine Pub, Wonderland and some classics of Royal Caribbean such as steakhouse Chops Grille and Japanese Izumi.
