Cutting up in Italy

Fincantieri cut the first steel today for Seabourn Ovation, the sister to the soon-to-be-delivered Seabourn Encore, at their Sestri Ponente yard near Genoa.

Seabourn Encore is the first of a new class of ship and is currently under construction at Fincantieri’s Marghera yard. Seabourn Encore is set to be delivered by the end of the year. Seabourn Ovation will enter service in the spring of 2018.
