We have recently returned from a cruise on the Seabourn Quest, our first Seabourn cruise. We have previously sailed on various different cruiselines, most recently with Azamara Club Cruises so we were interested to see how Seabourn would compare. In fact in the same year we sailed on the Azamara Quest and the Seabourn Quest and I will compare both ships at the end of this review.

The Seabourn Quest is one of Seabourn's newest ships and it really was sparkling new and very smart indeed. Our suite was extremely spacious and comfortable with a good sized balcony and bathroom including bath. A bottle of champagne was waiting in our room which was already stocked with our choice of drinks which we had ordered in advance online. In reality we didn't touch any of them.

Our cruise was quite port intensive so we spent our time exploring independently in the mornings and relaxing on board after lunch. We were very impressed with the spaciousness of the ship in that there are lots of open areas with sunbeds, settees, tables and chairs so there was no difficulty in finding a quiet spot to relax in the sunshine. We enjoyed spending time aft on deck 5 where there were 2 jacuzzis and a small plunge pool. Service on the pool deck was excellent with a constant stream of brightly coloured cocktails being offered or sorbet in champagne! Read more
