Seabourn Square
A place to enjoy your newspaper or to socialize with your fellow passengers, Seabourn Square is what you're looking for. Seabourn Square is the true ‘living room’ of the ships. An inviting sociable space where guests will find a charming European style coffee bar, Seabourn Square has been designed as an open, comfortable environment for guests to interact with onboard officers and the expedition team and engage in conversation with family and new friends. The space is also home to the highly-trained Guest Services staff, who provide a range of concierge services such as general ship information, assistance with special service requests, port and travel information, and more.
A selection of coffees are prepared by the skilled onboard baristas some using beans roasted in Seabourn Square. For those feeling a bit hungry, Seabourn Square offers freshly made pastries and other on-the-go breakfast items in the morning, as well as an assortment of light sandwiches and desserts later in the day, along with a selection of artisanal gelati made on board. Guests will also find a wide range of books in the adjoining library, with a host of titles on subjects such as adventure, expeditions and other topics of interest to enjoy while onboard. Staying current with the news is made easy with a selection of printed newspapers from around the world and tablets featuring the Press Reader news application available to browse each day.

Observation Lounge
Enjoy this stunning lounge with a bar and panoramic views. Enjoy coffee and tea served every morning, and drinks before or after dinner.
Dining Options

The Restaurant
Before Seabourn, open-seating dining on a cruise ship was unheard of. Come when you like, with whom you please, and be seated as you wish. The room is beautiful, the cuisine is exquisite, and the service is simultaneously flawless, friendly and fun.

The Colonnade
Our more casual, indoor/outdoor alternative, features an open kitchen, lavish buffets or table service for breakfasts and lunch, and serves regionally themed, bistro-style dinners with table service nightly. At The Colonnade, special theme nights feature Chef Keller-influenced dinners that pay homage to his American childhood. His interpretations of classic comfort dishes, such as Clam Bake and BBQ Ribs will be served family-style on platters to complement the essence of sharing in a relaxed spirit of fun and togetherness. *Chef Thomas Keller influenced menu served family-style in The Colonnade are available for reservations once onboard.

There is something going on here......
We joined the Ovation with a degree of trepidation. I'd read lots of reviews about declining standards and the poor condition of the ship. Even looking at sample reviews, it makes no sense that the ship was looking "threadbare" in March 2025 when in August, according to one reviewer, it looked "better than ever! We have cruised with Seabourn many times, originally on the Legend, on all the Sojourn, Quest series to the Encore and Ovation. I'm writing this objective review to set the record straight: If Ovation was showing signs of age in March 2025, somewhere between then and September 2025 Seabourn snuck in a major refurbishment! The only area I thought looked in need of a refresh was our balcony furniture, and even that wasn't too bad. Our room furniture, the carpets everywhere, the restaurants and all the common areas looked great. Not that any company is perfect. I concede the food is probably not the standard it was 10 years ago, but this is true of all the major lines. Where do you go for better in this market segment? The main restaurant was good but not great; service was mostly okay to goodbut occasionally slow. But it was always friendly and, relax, you are on vacation! A common gripe; the standard wine fare is at best mediocre. I'm no wine snob, but I would buy better to sip on a Friday evening. This has definitely got worse over time. Perhaps this is because Seabourn now upsell their "premium" wines much more than they used to. These are a much better selection, but ridiculously overpriced - particularly given you are already paying for all-inclusive. The lunch buffet was good and we appreciated the inclusion of local market produce at some ports. I think Colonnade edges out Silversea's La Terrazza - particularly at breakfast, where the Silversea layout and bustle seems hard work. Oh, and those of you who didn't like the Restaurant not opening for lunch on seadays? It opened on ours. Not that we went, which may be symptomatic of why it doesn't always open! Solis is gimmicky. I'm not a steakhouse fan, but at least with Thomas Keller what you saw was what you got. The food here is focussed on presentation rather than unique taste and is nothing special. However, the restaurant (and bar) do have a nice ambiance. Worth the reservation, if you can get one! The captain and senior officers were visible and approachable and the entertainment staff do their best. Like others writing here, I wasn't wowed by the Seabourn Six (just another version of the 4 singers plus 2 dancers of the past). They are a package supplied to several of the smaller cruise lines under different names by a London production company. The guest entertainment was, for the most part, good. Enrichment lectures were pretty canned and weren't tailored to the trip. It was basically one "historian" "making history relevant for the masses". On a small-port Western-Mediterranean itinerary, there was so much more interesting material that could have been covered. Getting on and off the ship has never been an issue for us on the small ships and it was even slicker this time. With barcodes issued beforehand, checking in was, literally, less than a minute. Will we cruise with Seabourn again? Well, yes, we are on the Pursuit next year. Are they the best? I'd say comparable with Silversea (we have never sailed with Regent); better in some areas, not so good in others. It comes down to personal choice or, in our case, dates and itineraries. When comparing, it is worth noting that on a 19 day cruise for two guests we spent over $3,000 on tours. On Silversea, these are included, but then their prices are typically a little higher. There is really no fair comparison between these ships and Viking or Oceania. I really don't understand why these operators get higher ratings and win more awards. Viking ships accommodate 900 guests and some Oceania ships are bigger. You can't compare them with ships two-thirds the size or less and the entertainment (at least on Viking) is the same standard UK packaged product.

Seabourn is Amazing!
I am on board the Seabourn Ovation now with my wife and other family. The ship looks better than ever and everything has been outstanding! Literally the ship looks brand new. As far as entertainment goes I think Ross Roberts is one of the best cruise directors and always ensures an incredible entertainment agenda. His sail away and deck parties have rocked so far. He is such a talented guy. A cruise director can really make or break a cruise and Ross always makes cruises so special. Not sure I am a fan of the Seabourn Six concept and choices of talent. Giving the benefit of the doubt. Seabourn has always impressed with their singers. The entertainment director, Bruno and duo in the Observation lounge all have amazing talent and voices. The in house band is remarkably good. I noticed some enhancements with the Colonnade buffets for the better with regards to selection and presentation. The staff has been so attentive with special thanks to bar waitress Sharell and Marcia. The dining room waiter Ariel is incredible and could not be more kind and attentive. Our suite is extremely well maintained and stateroom service has been perfection. Have dined so far at Solis, Earth & Ocean, rib night at Colonnade and the dining room. All venues have had great service and food is universally incredible. Room service has been prompt and I noticed that presentation has improved.

Another great Seabourn cruise
Yet another great Seabourn cruise, this one on the Ovation. The ship, staff and food were all first rate and we really enjoyed the ports of call. While many lines have nice ships, what sets Seabourn apart is the outstanding staff and dining as well as what I call casual luxury. The service is never stuffy and is always friendly and attentive. We love Seabounr's small luxury ships where we never feel crowded. Our cabin on the 7th floor made it very convenient to Seaboun Square and the outstanding coffee bar. Dining in The Restuarant never disappointed. Our one night dining at the Solis as very special. We enevr made it to the Sushi restuarant but heard it is very good. Our cruise director Ross Roberts was outstanding KEY PORTS OF CALL: Amalfi - We took Seabourn's Pompeii excursion which was outstanding. Sicily - We did Seabourn's Godfather excursion, which as fans of the Godfather Trilogy, we found facinating. Malta - a beatiful and historic country. Don't miss St. John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta and the blue water caves. Corsica - We did the Napoleon walking tour - this was not our favorite, We could have easily covered the same ground on our own. Overall this was an outstanding Seabourn cruise experience
