What she's like
Easy to find your way around. Fewer crowds getting off in port. About 72 tons of ship per guest. As a rule of thumb, 40 or more feels roomy and under 30 feels busy.
Unknown from line's site.
Our judgment, from $ (budget) to $$$$$ (ultra-luxury).
All-suite ships; complimentary premium spirits and fine wines, 24-hour in-suite dining, gratuities. Wi-Fi tiers (basic included is not confirmed on pages checked). Transfers included only when hotel is booked through Seabourn.
Infants 6 months+ (12 months on trans-ocean or remote voyages); guests under 21 need an adult chaperone (one per five). No kids' club stated.
Elegant casual most evenings; formal nights (tuxedo, suit or jacket; evening gown): one on cruises up to 13 days, two on 14-20 days, three on 21+ days; none on expedition ships Venture and Pursuit. No jeans in The Restaurant after 6pm.
