Apart from one unexpected issue which, to Seabourn’s credit they sorted quickly, this was a very enjoyable luxury cruise. We ate in the Restaurant every evening except one when we ate in Solis. Food was mainly excellent with a few OK’s.
Our only issue was that the restaurant was not open for breakfast, something that was totally unexpected. First time we had experienced this on any cruise. Fortunately there were a number of guests who felt the same and Seabourn reacted quickly to rectify the situation.

Liked the size of the ship. Being a ship with 2 halves got us lost more than once, but all added to the fun. Staff were faultless. Food, on the whole, was good. Colonade was our favourite eating place and coffee shop was part of our morning routine. Visited some very pretty places. Would love to have joined the watersports activities, we should have been more organised ! Free wifi was a big bonus. Our suite was very nice, plenty of storage. Loved the low level lighting. Would certainly go on this ship again.
