We were thrilled to be selected by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler as the Best Small-Ship Cruise Line in their annual Readers’ Choice Awards last fall.  And now, Travel + Leisure magazine has released the results of their 14th annual World’s Best survey and their readers have again voted The Yachts of Seabourn the World’s Best Small-Ship Cruise Line. Are we ever proud now! The best news, in a way, is that these votes of confidence from our guests are the results of cruise experiences before Seabourn Odyssey even joined the fleet. With Odyssey already pleasing guests and Sojourn getting set to do the same, we have high hopes for the future. Thanks to everyone who voted for us, and special thanks to the crew of our Seabourn yachts, who send everybody home happy and  ready to cast their ballots for us.

“The Seabourn Odyssey is a stunner… Similar in size and layout to rival Silversea’s bigger ships (Silver Whisper and Silver Shadow), the Odyssey boasts a far more stylish, sophisticated decor and design with several downright spectacular public areas. It is, quite simply, a game-changer for the luxury market.”

Many veteran cruisers specifically choose cruises that provide at least a few days at sea. Seabourn Odyssey will be a great choice for the sea-loving  cruiser who craves that languorous feeling of lazy leisure. There will be loads of on board activities during those days, including a great game of bridge. (more…)

We are currently working with experts on site in Italy to select the perfect sparkling wine to use for anointing Seabourn Odyssey when she is named in Venice in June. The consensus seems to be a prosecco, since that varietal is grown extensively in the area of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene in the Veneto-Treviso near where Odyssey’s sleek hull was constructed at San Giorgio di Nogaro. That region is in the foothills of the Alps, and the cooler weather seems to create ideal conditions for the prosecco grapes. (more…)
