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

Silver Shadow
Silversea's Millennium Class ships, Silver Shadow and its sister ship Silver Whisper, are built with proportions slightly larger in size than other Silversea ships yet retain the same level of genuine hospitality.
