Today, which is not over, has been a great day. It started with my Icelandic horseback riding adventure and has, so far, ended with a fantastic and creative Seabourn Experience. (Isn’t it great to know at it is after 5:00 PM and there is still great opportunity to be wowed on a Seabourn cruise?!) Today
I took the time yesterday to speak with John Barron, the cruise director. I knew John and his wife from another cruise line, but he now makes Seabourn his ‘home”. John has a wonderful dry sense of humor that I truly enjoy along with an upbeat persona that is fun…rather than the prototypical cruise director
Today is a sea day; thankfully so! Last evening was the Maiden Voyage celebration. After an early dinner, we had to be on deck by 8:45 p.m. for the sailaway. Seabourn surprised the guests with the British Royal Marine Band followed by a fireworks display. Considering the large British contingent onboard and Pamela Conover’s British
I am aboard the Seabourn Sojourn and I am happy to report the ship is, well…Ship Shape! The staff is smiling and on their game with friendly and familiar faces greeting us at the gangway after our short tender ride from the Four Seasons Canary Wharf – the staging area for the very quick boarding
I have heard from the Seabourn Sojourn and have been advised she is beautiful and “completely ready“! For any of you considering a Northern European cruise this summer, but were afraid to consider the Sojourn after the problems associated with the delivery of the Seabourn Odyssey, you may want to consider booking now. I have
I just returned from Newport, Rhode Island and the American Superyacht Forum. While it was, as always, good for business and good for a bit of fun, it was also rather depressing because of the state of the industry. There was significant discussion about yacht chartering and, truth be told, I was quite consistent in
Last year I was fortunate enough to be honored by The Yachts of Seabourn with a trip to Venice for the Inauguration of the Seabourn Odyssey. I was further honored by dining with Captain Buer on the first formal night ever on the ship…and by dining with Carnival Corp.’s Chief Financial Officer the other night.
Twiggy, the British model, has been names godmother of the Seabourn Sojourn. She has been given the honor not because of her modeling career, but because of her devotion to causes seeking cures for breast cancer and for her animal welfare work. It also doesn’t hurt that Seabourn is actively seeking to further engage the
Up until now I have not been able to tell anyone of any changes being made the Seabourn Sojourn from the Seabourn Odyssey. Now, as it has been reported by Seatrade, I can let you in on two of the subtle changes: The ship will have two new features: a Kneipp Pool (in place of the
Seabourn Sojourn’s 111 day Maiden World Cruise is now available for booking. (If you want to “whet your whistle” read how fantastic the present World Cruise on the Seabourn Odyssey is going, stop by The Gold Standard Luxury Travel Forum’s thread which is following the comments of the very happy world cruisers: Seabourn Odyssey World Cruise.
