The cruise (to the Baltic with 3 days in St. Petersburg) exceeded expectations. Seabourn Ovation was elegant but the service levels were not as high as on previous Seabourn cruises, which were on the smaller vessels. Traditionally Seabourn has distinguished itself from the competition by the quality and personal nature of its service. Sadly, this was not the case on this occasion, though overall it was a most enjoyable break, largely because of the ship itself, the ports visited and the splendid weather.

The cruise director Chris was brilliant and always made you feel a valued friend. The scenery in northern Norway was incredible too and we we lucky with the weather in that it hardly rained. Our cabin 823 was substantial with full bath and separate shower.
