Design

The Seabourn Sojourn was ordered in November 2008. The ship has a length of 198 meters and a beam of 25.60 meters. The draft is 6.40 meters; the ship is divided into 11 passenger decks and has a capacity of 450. There are 225 staterooms, all offering large luxurious living areas. The gross tonnage of the ship is 32,346. The Sojourn as well as its two other sister ships the Seabourn Odyssey and the Seabourn Quest were designed by Bjorn Storbraaten of Yran & Storbraaten Architects AS, of Oslo, Norway.

In December 2017, the ship underwent a six-day refit in Freeport, Bahamas. As a result, Seabourn Sojourn got the upgraded staterooms, The Colonnade, the Panoramic Observation Bar, The Club, Grand Salon, etc.[2]

Entertainments

According to the company information, this cruise ship Seabourn Sojourn is among the most luxurious cruising vessels of the world. The ship has a large, two-deck spa facility of over 11,000 square feet (1,000 m2), two outdoor swimming pools, and six outdoor whirlpool spas. The four restaurants and six bars and cafes have seating capacity for over 800 diners, though the vessel carries just 450. The vessel's fold-out marina will provide water sports facilities for passengers to practice several different aquatic sports. There are entertainment shows provided by British company Belinda King Creative Productions. Seabourn Sojourn was scheduled to be named on June 4 at London, then began her maiden voyage at Greenwich on June 6, 2010. The maiden season sailed in Northern Europe (Scandinavia/Baltic and Norway), before crossing the Atlantic and cruising the Caribbean and Panama Canal in the late autumn and winter.[3] In January 2011, Seabourn Sojourn was to begin a 111-day round-the-world cruise from Los Angeles, to Southampton, England.[4]

On November 4, 2019, the ship will depart on the company's first ever sailing to Cuba. In total, she'll take five cruises to this island country.

The ship is scheduled to depart Miami on her next World Cruise on January 4, 2020. During a 146-day sailing, Seabourn Sojourn will visit 62 ports in 36 countries.[5]
