Ovation of the Seas

Living near Southampton, I’m well-placed to capture shots of some of the largest cruise liners in the world. Yesterday afternoon, under rather stormy skies, I was able to watch the departure of Ovation of the Seas on sea trials before  sailing to her new home port, Tianjin, in China. The latest addition to the Royal Caribbean fleet, displacing nearly 170,000 tonnes and 1,142 metres long, this ship really is a leviathan.
