More than seven months after her debut, Seabourn Sojourn continues to receive positive coverage in the press. We’re so proud of all the staff and crew who work so hard to provide a stellar cruise experience for all our guests. Their efforts haven’t gone unnoticed.  You can read some of the reviews here:

“Clean lines, warm light and elegant design are the framework for the Yachts of Seabourn’s second next-generation ship, the 450-passenger Sojourn, sister ship to last year’s Odyssey, which made considerable waves in the industry. What fills the framework, however, is the friendly and near-telepathic service (if you express a preference in one venue, they will know about it in another), the extraordinary cuisine and a comfortable atmosphere.”

- Marilyn Green, TravelAge West

“While the food onboard this ship has been absolutely amazing, from room service to formal chef’s dinner menus, and while the vessel itself is the most beautiful combination of small ship intimacy with big ship amenities I’ve ever seen, what really has put Seabourn over the top for me is its service.”

- Carolyn Spencer Brown, Cruise Critic

“Like all the Seabourn ships (and like all real luxe vessels, for that matter), Sojourn is less about knocking passengers over the head with gimmickry, shininess, and nonstop activity, and more about providing a tasteful, understated venue where people who just want to relax can do so, while quiet, polite staff scurry around bringing you things: a cup of tea and a cucumber sandwich in the afternoon, suntan lotion while you’re out by the pool, a drink from the bar whenever you want (gratis), and even a moist wipe for your sunglasses, if a server spots a smudge.”

- Matt Hannafin, Frommers.com

”On our first voyage on the Yachts of Seabourn years ago, we selectively plucked our favorite nut, cashews, from a bowl of mixed nuts on the bar. From then on, every time we returned for an after-dinner drink, we were served only cashews.  OK, really nice touch.  But when we returned two years later and sidled up to the bar, the bartender quickly removed the mixed nuts and replaced them with cashews. Now that’s personalized service — and the signature of this ultraluxe line.”

- Arline and Sam Bleecker, Chicago Tribune

“The vessel’s small size endows it with a yacht-like sensibility and the ability to access off-the-beaten-path ports of call, while also providing extensive amenities including a range of dining venues and an enormous spa.”

- Laurie Kahle, Robb Report

“Once onboard, we immediately felt the warm embrace of Seabourn’s service. Cordial staff greeted us and assisted with our hand luggage and showed us to our suite. Liliana, our stewardess, materialized bearing glasses of champagne, canapes and fine soaps.”

- Georgina Cruz, SouthernCruising.com

“This Seabourn Sojourn cruise did not disappoint, in fact the exemplary personal service raised the bar in our expectations, so much so that we booked another cruise.”

- Donna Hull, My Itchy Travel Feet

“From the moment we stepped board Seabourn Sojourn, we felt the difference. We weren’t mere passengers — we were guests. We’ve learned the true meaning of pampering as the staff aboard Seabourn Sojourn has spoiled us with constant, yet unobtrusive service.”

- Linda Coffman, CruiseDiva

“The newest vessel in the Seabourn fleet, it lives up to the reputation that won the cruise line first place among small cruise ships (Conde Nast Traveler 2010 Readers’ Choice Awards).”

- Daphne Nikolopoulos, Palm Beach Illustrated
