A new and beautiful class of yacht that enhanced the Seabourn fleet
Seabourn’s grand yacht, Seabourn Odyssey, arrived in June 2009 offering more dining options, more types of suites, more verandahs, more entertainment venues and enhanced spa and recreational facilities than other ships in the fleet.
Weighing in at 32,000-tons, the new class of vessel carried just over twice as many guests (450) than the now departed Seabourn Pride, Spirit and Legend, boasting nearly one staff member per guest.
The £150m Seabourn Odyssey was the cruise industrys first ultra-luxury addition in six years. She was followed by sister ships Seabourn Sojourn and Seabourn Quest in quick succession.
A maximum of 450 guests travel on board, in luxurious all-suite accommodations measuring from 290 to over 1,600sq ft, more than 90 per cent of them with private verandahs.
The cruising yacht offers guests five dining alternatives, five lounges and bars, an expansive pool and sunbathing area, and a spectacular two-deck, indoor/outdoor spa facility with more than 11,400sq ft to go around.
Seabourn Odyssey was the first of three 450-guest vessels being added to The Yachts of Seabourns fleet, representing a 216 per cent increase in capacity. Seabourn Sojourn joined the fleet in 2010 while Seabourn Quest arrives in 2011.
