It is also known as the world’s smartest cruise ship for its advanced entertainment technologies.

‘Taking the ‘Ovation of the Seas’ is one of the highlights of my career. I started my life at sea as a Cadet in 1983 when I was 19 years old, with theDenmark Navy. I got my education there, then went into cargo ships, with the Maersk line. In the year 2000 I switched ships and joined cruise ships and so far I have been sailing for 33 years. I am now the Captain of the ‘Ovation Of The Seas’ cruise ship and many people have told me how beautiful and big it is. 

‘So far we’ve cruised from Southampton to Barcelona, Barcelona to Dubai, and then Dubai to Singapore. Now we have a three day trip from Singapore to Malaysia, before heading to Tianjin (China) and that’s where the ship will be christened and named. 

‘There’s no need to be worried about icebergs as the ship is a two compartment ship and we don’t really expect any icebergs but all ships try to avoid icebergs. We have radars that can detect them. 

‘Navigating the Straits of Malacca is manageable, there’s many other ships out there, but there’s also traffic separation schemes which makes it like a highway so it’s quite safe, and fast to travel by sea. Also you have lots of lightning storms but this ship can handle that. We’ve seen dolphins all over the ocean, and if you’re in for activities, entertainment, dining, and good service then going on a cruise ship is a good place to spend your holidays’.
