First in a Trio of Larger Vessels for Seabourn

Seabourn Odyssey caused quite a buzz in the travel industry when it set sail in June 2009. The first ship in a series of three — Odyssey, Sojourn, and Quest — was designed by Yran & Storbraaten and hosts 450 guests per sailing. Ninety percent of her cabins offer verandas and if you’re a spa fan, you’ll definitely be spending a lot of time at the Odyssey‘s two-deck facility. Seabourn’s all-inclusive policy continues aboard the ship and chef Charlie Palmer designed the menus.

Accommodations

The Odyssey was built with a generous space ratio in mind. The ship feels intimate, but never crowded and each suite accommodation offers amenities such as complimentary Wi-Fi access and an in-suite bar setup.

Here are the suite categories you may choose from:

• Grand Suite—If you love spacious suites at the bow of the ship, you will adore the 1,135-square-foot Grand Suites (category GR). Located on Deck 7 (suites 700/702 and 701/703), a Grand Suite is also a Signature Suite connected to a Verandah (V4) Suite. You’ll enjoy three verandahs, a living room with dining area, two bedrooms (with queen beds or two twins each), two bathrooms with separate tub (one whirlpool) and shower, guest bath, butler pantry with wet bar, two fully stocked bars, one makeup vanity, two walk-in closets with personal safes, and three flat-screen TVs with DVD players.

• If you prefer a mid-ship location, go for one of the Grand Suites (suites 743/745 and 744/746) that are created by combining a Wintergarden Suite and Verandah (V2) suite. These suites top out at 1,182 square feet with two balconies. Features include a living room with large windows, dining area and convertible sofa bed for one, two verandas and glass-enclosed solarium, two bedrooms with queen-size beds or two twin beds, two bathrooms with separate tub (one whirlpool) and shower, guest bath, two fully stocked bars, butler pantry with wet bar, two walk-in closets with personal safe, one alcove closet, and three flat-screen televisions with DVD.

Dining

Seabourn loyalists take the dinner hour seriously and love formal nights. Gourmet cuisine is offered at all dining venues, including:

• Restaurant 2—This is the place to head for tasting menus paired with fine wine from Seabourn’s cellar.

Daytime Diversions

• Seabourn Square is where the action takes place on Odyssey. It’s part concierge lounge, part Internet café, part coffee bar. Head here to have your questions answered, to check your e-mail, or grab a cappuccino.

• Sunterrace—This is the spot I’d head for on my sea days! The Sunterrace offers double sun-beds. It’s a wonderfully comfy location to sun bathe, read a book, or enjoy a cocktail with friends.
