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
