Named in Dover on 4th June 2010 by Twiggy prior to her maiden voyage from Greenwich where we visited her. There are photographs of this beautiful ship in our photo library.

Slightly larger than the earlier yacht fleet at over 30,000 tons the Sojourn is our personal size preference, large enough to be very well facilitated with a variety of public rooms, but yet small enough to be intimate.

We loved the décor. We also loved the square area that replaces the traditional reception counters, internet rooms and shore excursion desks with a relaxed all purpose open plan lounge-cum-business and relaxing area. Brilliant innovation which will undoubtedly be copied. This ship is a winner.
