Sojourn Ship Visit – The Yachts of Seabourn (by Ian Hopley)

Posted: June 29th, 2010 under Cruise ships.

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.

We do hope Carnival remember that luxury yacht vessels must be marketed to suitable clients and standards maintained to create the onboard ambience which is so important on vessels of this design and class. If they do we think the Sojourn will be a classic.
