Seabourn Quest Review
Review of Seabourn Quest
The 2011-built Seabourn Quest cruise ship is the third of Seabourn's older boats, with sisterships Seabourn Odyssey and Seabourn Sojourn. On each of the three vessels is installed the biggest Spa ever created on a luxury cruise ship.
The vessel (IMO number 9483126) is currently Bahamas-flagged (MMSI 311038900) and registered in Nassau.
History - construction and ownership
Seabourn Cruises is a top-luxury (all-inclusive) company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Seattle WA. Seabourn operates on global itineraries, ranging from the 7-day Caribbean to 100+day Around the World voyages. Since 1998, Seabourn is fully-owned by Carnival Corporation - the world's largest passenger shipping company. Seabourn is a signature travel brand and a major player on the premium-cruising market, competing for head-on with Silversea and RSSC-Regent Seven Seas.
The 450-passenger ship Seabourn Quest debuted in June 2011 and completed Seabourn Cruise Line's 750 million dollars investment in 3 new Odyssey-class "yachts," if we might call a 32,000-ton ship a yacht. Highlights of all three cruise liners include a great and expansive swimming pool surrounded by a wooden decking; a central "hub" named Seabourn Square which acts as a combination library, reception, Internet cafe and patisserie; and gorgeous and stylish decor, with extensive use of cream, white and neutrals indistinct textures, from leather to gauze, to create a comforting but chic boutique hotel feel.
Seabourn Quest service is ranked the best – it’s personalized and attentive. The ship features the amazing ratio crew-to-passenger: 1 to 1! Quest's staff is driven by the sincere desire to please guests, with a smile coming from the heart. Tipping is not expected. Here are some of the special features of this unique cruise ship:

Seabourn Quest Wiki
Seabourn Cruises Quest ship is the line's newest of all three vessels providing all-inclusive "big yacht cruising" luxury vacation experiences. Her sisters are the fleet mates Odyssey and Sojourn. All sisters share one common ship design. The Seabourn company continues to state that this ship design concept was, quote, the "game-changer for the luxury segment" of the luxury industry. Traditionally for all ships in the Seabourn fleet, all passenger cabins (all are suites) have private verandas.
The Quest ship was christened in a sunset ceremony in Barcelona Spain on the 20th of June. Her godmother is the American actress Blythe Danner. She's the winner of Tony and Emmy awards, but probably she's most popular for her role as Greg Focker's mother-in-law from the films "Meet the parents", "Meet the Fockers", and "Meet the Children". After the naming ceremony, Quest set sail on her maiden voyage- a 14-day Mediterranean cruise from Barcelona to Athens Greece.
Even though Seabourn ships are among the smallest compared to the main brands in the luxury cruising business, they increased the line's passenger capacity by 300%.
The name "Seabourn Quest" was chosen after a "best name contest" was held. The name was proposed by 120 people and was accepted by the Seabourn company.
Seabourn Grand Voyage 2023
On February 12, 2021, were opened for sale Seabourn Sojourn's 140-day "World Cruise 2023" ("Extraordinary Discoveries") and Seabourn Quest's 79-day "Grand Voyage 2023" ("Grand Americas, Amazon and Antarctica").
