RCI’s commercial director Australia and South East Asia, Sean Treacy, said almost 30,000 passengers are expected to experience Ovation of the Seas, which will offer complimentary skydiving, bumper cars, a surf simulator and the North Star observation capsule that lifts passengers over the sea for 360-degree views.
Treacy said Ovation’s inaugural season, which goes on sale today with launch savings of up to A$750, will inject more than A$20m into the Australian economy.
