Nope. Only the one that is marked as not final.
But I guess that's better than Greg Cox's Warehouse 13 novel, which is coming out in less than two months and has no cover whatsoever (Unless they use the photo of him).

Though it's not that unusual for those "not final" covers to end up being the final ones anyway.
I had assumed it was the final cover, since it looks really nice already and the style is right in line with the Full Circle and Unworthy covers.
AFAIK, Mark Rademaker isn't done with the new model yet.
Early arpil saw a WIP shot in his blog, not nearly done.
I believe it's coming out of Mark Rademaker for now, maybe the books will acknowledge it later? (Much like the design for the Titan didn't come along until later)
He made a post last year listing his planned changes (link), I think the idea is mostly to make her more slipstream friendly; new longer nacelles, a new deflector, sleeker lines, etc.
Oof. I'll reserve judgment until the final comes out, but I love Voyager just the way she is. The larger shuttlebay I can understand, and maybe the nacelles, but a lot of the rest of the changes don't seem to be necessary (to me), especially painting her hull white.
Could be interesting though.
Going to his blog, I had no idea anyone was even trying to create the fleet in the computer, let alone making changes to Voyager.
And it looks like his science vessels don't look anything like Nova-class vessels.
That's because they're not Nova-class vessels. Aside from Voyager, all the ship designs are new. Appropriate, since Mark designed the Aventine-styled ships as well.
I thought the Hawking was a Nebula-class ship.
I don't think it's been announced what ship classes the Full Circle fleet will consist of. I've heard rumors of a Nebula-class being in there somewhere, but I was of the impression that the ships had to be narrow for slipstream reasons. Isn't the Nebula about twice as wide as the Vesta?
Confusion has arisen because some of the ship names have been used in the past, ie the Hawking. Aside from Voyager and the Vesta ships though, the books don't state what classes the fleet ships belong to. Hence Mark is designing them from scratch to best accommodate established slipstream requirements.
I think the Voyager covers do look rather plain. Ship only stuff works with Vanguard, just as character images work with Titan, but Voyager needs a cover style to stand out from the crowd.
I agree it's a bit underwhelming, but at least it follows a consistant pattern. Alone, these covers don't look great, but with three of them together I find the conformity looks pleasing.
