Seabourn Odyssey

Seabourn Odyssey was launched in 2009, as the first of a new family of ships for the luxury Seabourn line. The ship has a relaxed, yacht-like ambience and high-quality, yet unobtrusive service. Its passenger/space ratio is one of the highest at sea so the small ship does not feel crowded. The 32,000 tonne vessel can carry 450 guests and 330 crew members.

Verdict

– Cruise Passenger

We chose Seabourn after reading reviews here, so we want to help others make their choices. This was only our fifth cruise, but first one on the Seabourn. After three weeks on this ship we will only travel with Seabourn in the future. Staff, food, service, suite, and public spaces were outstanding. Every request we made they answered with a smile and exceeded out expectations. When we dined in-suite, room service brought the food in individual courses and served us as if we were in a top restaurant. -metta
