This was our first time on Seabourn and we were a little hesitant mainly because we enjoy casual cruising and knew that Seabourn had formal nights. But we like Transatlantic crossings, small ships and the dates worked for us so we decided to give Seabourn a try and are so glad we did.

We used Seabourn air program that included transfers. Our flight arrived in Lisbon at 8:30am and boarding was not until afternoon. Seabourn provided a private limo that took us from the airport to the Four Seasons hotel in Lisbon to spend the morning and a voucher that covered a wonderful lunch at the hotel, then a private limo that took us to the ship. We really felt like VIPs!

The Spirit has 104 suites. There were around 150 people on this Trans-Atlantic crossing. Our suite really was just a large room but it did include a sofa, coffee table and 2 easy chairs with curtains that could be pulled between the sitting and sleeping area. There was a large window with an unobstructed view. The nice sized bathroom included a full size bathtub and there was a walk in closet. It was all very well arranged and comfortable. Read more
