I have sailed on almost 50 cruises but this was my first time on Seabourn. Our biggest surprise was that it had all the bells and whistles we enjoy on a much larger ship but with a more intimate and upscale feeling. And while it was sophisticated it was not stuffy at all. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the entertainment on a ship this size and Ross, the Cruise Director created an upbeat atmosphere whether he was DJaying while we Danced Under the Stars to his singing at the Caviar Sail A Way. Yes caviar...whenever you wanted it!! I will say we enjoyed a few sunsets on our balcony with a beautiful presentation of champagne and caviar. All of the cabins have balconies and marble bathrooms and I loved having a walk in closet too. And yes we tried all the dining options also and there were many. We enjoyed wonderful dinners in the beautiful main dining room called The Restaurant and the elegant Grill by Thomas Keller where some dishes were prepared table side. For more casual dining we had alfresco meals at the open kitchen Colonnade and Earth and Ocean at the Patio. There was also a sushi restaurant open for lunch and dinner. Other things we also got to enjoy was the spa, gym, casino, afternoon tea, unwinding at the 2 pools, listening to great music all around the ship, wonderful shows, dancing at night. I also want to add that the staff and service was wonderful throughout the ship. Even though we were on this ship for 2 weeks with 6 days at sea we felt there was so much to do and so little time!
Pros: Big ship things to do on small intimate ship
Cons: Wish the cruise was longer!

We had a V1 cabin. Loved our stateroom - from the double sinks, tub and separate shower, to the walk in closet. Everything about our stateroom was well designed and executed. Fabulous bed! We also enjoyed that there was enough room to properly have room service, and balcony was a nice size. Staff on board was very professional; from the cabin attendant, dining staff, entertainment, and customer care team. We really enjoyed our itinerary: Stockholm, Tallinn, 3 days in St. Petersburg, Helsinki, and Copenhagen. Fabulous Scandinavian cities, plus historical and beautiful St. Petersburg. On board lectures, entertainment, and Cruise Director were all top notch. We loved that tipping and bar/beverage is included. 600 guests is a great size!
Pros: Size of ship, level of service, perfect stateroom layout, great dining!
Cons: Can't think of one complaint or con!

This sailing was perfection. I can find nothing to criticize or ask for improvement. The public areas are beautiful, light and airy and comfortable. Love the Seabourn Square where everyone seems to hang out to read, converse or have a light snack. The homemade gelato is fantastic! The staff is wonderful. They go out of their way to be helpful. The talent level of the singers and dancers is off the charts! Too bad they have to be rotated every 4-6 months.
Pros: Food, service and entertainment. This ship is 99.9 percent perfect.
Cons: They ran out of the Stevia brand Pure Via and substituted in the dining room Whole Earth which was AWFUL. But that is as much criticism as I can make. So I picked up extra Pure Via from Seabourn Square and carried it around with me.
