Our 3rd SB cruise and it just gets better and better! Embarkation was faultless and quick, lunch in the Colonnade awaited us and we sat and had a leisurely lunch then straight to our cabin for unpacking.
From then on, it was all just a fabulous time. After an independent tour in Rio, we had 5 straight sea days before we reached Tristan da Cunha. Being able to visit the remotest inhabited ...
Just returned from 15 days on the Sojourn -- was delighted with the service and food. DH was nervous about being on a bigger ship but he was amazed to see the same level of service with almost twice as many guests. Suffice it to say we put a deposit on our next cruise before we left! Took notes on my iPhone and thought I'd share -
Day 1 - Local tour company flubbed transfers. Seabourn needs to ...
I recently travelled with Seabourn Sojourn and my expectations were very high as I had heard only good things about this cruise line. The cruise went from Buenos Aires to Manaus.
Seabourn prides itself on service and this was excellent.
I found the dining options on the ship very restrictive and it was difficult to find healthy food choices outside of mealtimes. The dining room did not ...
My wife and I have traveled extensively around the world. This was our first time on Seabourn. We love cruising but this was the longest cruise we have ever taken. The more we travel, the more we have defined our expectations. We are looking for luxury. Perhaps this ship was a little small for us on a cruise this long.
The ship is beautiful and well maintained. The passenger interfacing ...
The gold standard for cruising for me will perhaps remain the Seabourn Legend Indonesian cruise in that it was my first sea cruising experience in February of 2012, and the ship is delightfully small and intimate. It was followed by the larger, but same sized, Regent Navigator's San Francisco to NYC in September of 2012, Seabourn Sojourn's Buenos Aires to Valparaiso in December of 2012, and then ...
My wife and I are experienced travelers with limited cruising experience and we had an extraordinary time on this cruise. The facilities, atmosphere, cuisine, and staff were outstanding. We were pleased with the gentle manner in which people are encouraged to mingle. Invitations to hosted dinners are offered as are invitations to join others in the dining room as you enter. Either of these ...
We are new to cruising, but not to travel. Have lived in Asia, spent a month in New Zealand & about 15 vacation trips to Europe. We took an Alaskan inside passage cruise about 15 years ago that was positive & last Oct. a Greek Isle cruise on Oceania Rivera that went well. We normally do all the prep ourselves(half the fun of travel), rent a car & stay mostly in the country side in B&B's.
My ...
This review bears a remarkable similarity to the story of "The Curate's Egg". Many of the aspects of the cruise were excellent, but some parts were very bad.
Let's deal firstly with the good bits. At just two years old, Seabourn Sojourn is a lovely ship. We embarked in Fort Lauderdale on a wonderful itinerary which took us through the Panama Canal, all the way down the west coast of South ...
We just returned from a 33 day two-leg cruise on the Seabourn Sojourn. We boarded the ship in Ft. Lauderdale and disembarked in Buenos Aires. My husband and I have cruised a lot on many different cruise lines; however, this was our fourth cruise with Seabourn and third on the Sojourn so we are very familiar with both the cruise line and this particular ship. Our first reaction after boarding the ...
We wanted to sail around Cape Horn - and the only decent options were Seabourn or Holland America. We chose Seabourn as we preferred a smaller ship and the dates suited us.
From the moment we embarked we were delighted! Not only was our cabin glorious, but our stewardess immediately made us at home with a glass of champagne and canapes. And the experience never dropped an inch from that moment ...
