The verdict
Which should you choose?
Ilma is a small The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection ship carrying 459 passengers, in service since 2024. Seabourn Sojourn is a small Seabourn ship carrying 450 passengers, in service since 2010. Seabourn Sojourn has no Bliss scores yet, so the verdict rests on the figures we do hold.
Choose Ilma if you want a newer ship, more space per passenger or more cruises to choose from: its maiden voyage was in 2024 (vs 2010), it has 101.9 gross tons per passenger (vs 71.1) and it has 96 cruises on sale (vs none).
Seabourn Sojourn does not lead by a clear margin on any measure we track, so pick it for its itinerary or its dates.

Seabourn
Seabourn Sojourn
In my view, if you are seeking a luxurious, pampered and intimate cruising experience the Odyssey Class ships in the Seabourn fleet, including Seabourn Sojourn, should be on your short list. Hosting just 450 guests, it's a very social ship with both the crew and passengers being encouraged to mix and get to know each other.
Highlights
- Shuffleboard courts and a 9-hole putting green at The Retreat
- Tea and coffee with a view at the Observation Bar
- Relaxing spa treatmentas at The Spa at Seabourn
- Gourmet cuisine at the Colonnade restaurant
