Yachts of Seabourn’s newest addition to its fleet, Seabourn Sojourn, is seen entering London on the morning of June 4 prior to her naming ceremony. Built by the T. Mariotti shipyard in Genoa, Italy, Sojourn is the second of three new luxury cruising vessels joining Seabourn’s fleet in three years, representing a 216 percent increase in capacity for the company.
The 225-suite yacht accommodates no more than 450 guests in spacious, ocean-view suites, 90 percent of which have private verandas. Other highlights include the largest spa on a luxury vessel, two outdoor swimming pools, six outdoor whirlpools, and water sports from the unique foldout marina. Located on the top deck is The Retreat, featuring a contoured nine-hole mini golf course, a giant chess board, shuffleboard and stargazing in the evening. On Deck 7 is Seabourn Square, an innovative “concierge lounge” with a library, upscale shops, outdoor terrace, computer center and coffee bar.
Sojourn currently sails 12- to 14-day voyages during the summer from Copenhagen to the Baltic, Scandinavia, Russia, Norwegian Fjords, and Scotland, as well as several Mediterranean voyages in the fall. Following a 12-day transatlantic repositioning cruise in the fall, the yacht will operate a series of Caribbean voyages from Fort Lauderdale, Florida prior to her January 5 world cruise from Los Angeles to London via the South Pacific, New Zealand, around Western Australia, Indonesia and Southeast Asia, India, Arabia and the Mediterranean. Rates for the full 111-day world cruise begin at $49,995 per person, based on double occupancy
