Seabourn Quest

From the time I called Shelby till we left on the trip Shelby checked and rechecked everything I asked her to do. I have already booked another trip with her.

We have been on 2 world cruises with Seabourn as well as 3 separate shorter cruises, and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. They treat us well - it wouldn't be easy to sail with anyone else now.

My trip to fjords was fantastic. Seabourn's selection of day tours was exceptional and all the tour guides were entertaining and well informed. Traveling to the fjords surrounded by Seabourn's luxurious service and accommodations made this destination trip the travel experience of a lifetime.

Vicky was most helpful in planning our trip . She gave insight into the ports of call, the excursions, excursions pre.& post cruise ,  the suite/cabin to  choose( got us an upgrade) ,etc. She was instrumental in us finding Seabourn , now been on our 3rd cruise and planning to go on many more . Since Virtuoso as NOT on this cruise ,she personally made sure we got an on board credit for services etc. 

We took a Baltic cruise on the Seabourn cruise line on the Seabourn Quest. . Everything about the cruise was excellent. The food and service were excellent, and the cabin was more spacious than I had anticipated. Everything about the cruise went smoothly from embarkation to debarkation.

Very good attention to details, well trained staff.

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with a cruise that included Egypt and Israel. While the food didn't compare with Crystal Serenity, everything else on the ship outdid our expectations. We hope to take the maiden voyage on their new ship in 2016

We chose the Seabourn Quest because of the unique itinerary of Antarctic landings from an ultra luxury ship. We were not disappointed. This was both the usual Seabourn "over the top" level of service, combined with an unbelievable adventure experience. The amount of organization and the level of expertise of the expedition staff was of the highest quality. Six landings by zodiac were made at six separate sites in the South Shetland Islands and on the Antarctic Peninsula. We experienced calm seas and we experienced rough (very rough) seas, and enjoyed every minute. Cannot say enough about the cruise and the ship and the staff and the company.

What a superb cruise to an unusual destination! My wife & I travelled with great friends for 24 days from Valparaiso, Chile, to Buenos Aires, Argentina. We spent six days at various points on Antarctica's Western Peninsula & three days on South Georgia [island]. Scenery & animals were spectacular: mountains, glaciers, icebergs, penguins, seals, whales............ The expeditions ashore via zodiac boats were all different, & they were all executed like clockwork. by an outstanding expedition team. This was our 8th cruise with Seabourn, who continue to do a virtually flawless job of caring for their passengers. This cruise was an unusual combination of luxury & adventure.

We spent three weeks on the ship cruising to Antarctica. The staff is over the Top. They go out of there way day and night to meet your every need. Not a better option to seeing the world can be found, in my opinion.

There aren't enough superlatives to describe our recent cruise to Antarctica and Patagonia on the Seabourn Quest. The Seabourn experience is well known. There were many items which stood out on this cruise. First was the food in every restaurant for every meal. The variety and taste was amazing. Second, the service matched the food in excellence. Third and perhaps the most outstanding was the expedition staff which Seabourn assembled for this trip. Every one was an expert who enlightened us in an enthusiastic and professional way on all aspects of the destination...whales, seals, penguins, seabirds, geology, history, etc. They even provided two expert photographers who couldn't have been more helpful. Finally, it starts at the top, and flows from the captain, Bjarne Larsen. Prepared and on top of everything, all conducted in a calm professional manner. Kudos to all.

The Seabourn Experience is one of the few travel/hospitality experiences that is not overrated nor oversold. Everyone connected to the operation delivers the best, day in, day out, and they do it with a smile.

Superb and friendly service (no request too much for the crew). Efficient boarding and disembarking process. Superior meals (downside: I gained almost 9 pounds !) and expert lectures and entertainment. We signed up for our 5th cruise with this line, which says it all.

This was the best cruise we have ever been on. Everyone on the ship was top notch especially the Expedition Crew. The lectures were all great and extremely educational. The two main restaurants were outstanding. Restaurant 2 tried to be a bit too eclectic but the food was fine. There was a huge variety in the food and it was all excellent. The captain was very creative. Since the crossing of the Drake passage was so smooth, we arrived in Antarctica a day early. The captain was took us through beautiful passages. He always informed us if there were whales and he slowed the ship so we could enjoy the wild life. As we passed huge Tabular icebergs, he would circle the icebergs so that we could get a full perspective. The Drake passage was relatively smooth on the way back, so, before heading north, the captain took the ship farther south in Antarctica than any Seabourn ship had ever been. It was spectacular. He gave us a memento of how far we had gone.

This was our 8th trip.,,,,we have been on all of the lux ships and non compare....

Seabourn doesn't disappoint. You feel like you are coming home to family when you sail with them. Always see familiar faces in the crew and the passengers. Service is exceptional. So glad we found Seabourn, we have enjoyed sailing with them and recommend them to friends and fellow travelers we meet.

The entire officers and crew of the Seabourn Quest made our four month journey to Antartica, South America, and Europe one of the best travel adventures of our lives! They anticipated all our needs and made us feel like we were living in the grandest "second home" imaginable! We can hardly wait to return for another amazing Seabourn trip next year!

Joan was excellent in all phases of planning our trip and in following up about our level of satisfaction afterward.

Excellent but expensive.

Our trip was perfect from beginning to end, despite some colder-than-normal weather. We had two wonderful nights at the Ritz-Carolton Montreal. Thanks to our Virtuoso advisor, Kathleen Sutter, we got a room upgrade, free breakfasts and a $100 credit. We were first-time Seabourn travelers, and I was a bit apprehensive that it might be too stuffy. But it was elegantly casual, and the passengers we met were delightful and had fascinating backgrounds. I particularly loved Seabourn Square, the cozy heart of the ship where people gathered to sip coffee, read in the library or just to chat. Our cruise director, Handre, set the perfect tone with his understated charm and wit. We saw glorious fall foliage on excursions in Quebec, Nova Scotia, and most particularly Bar Harbor, where the red maples were on fire! We were so impressed with this line that, while on board, we put down a deposit on a future cruise.

Only problem was there was no reservation for us at the hotel in London. Problem was finally solved.

After spending over three hundred days on Seabourn ships over the last eight years, i'm considering it for my seniors residence when i'm ready, in another ten years. The new GRILL was more than a thrill. Sorry to hear that the ships in future are larger. We prefer them just the way they are.

Staff anticipates your needs , total professionals and truly cared about their guests in both the obvious and smallest details . The actual ship is getting a little "tired" looking and needs some updating of décor, carpets, furniture and such .

For a luxury cruise line, insufficient staffing in all bars and lounges was woefully disappointing. Obtaining a proper dirty martini with blue cheese olives wasn't possible, even after four (4) attempts. Guests should not have to wait for premium spirits such as Hendricks. Additional staffing and allocation of resources is highly recommended. Officers rarely engage with guests and rarely respond to complaints and comments.

Truthfully, I think we were a little late for seeing the changing leaves, but it was a great cruise anyway. Staff was friendly and very attentive. The Captain read poetry every day at noon. The food, especially in the Grill, was terrific. Loved the spa suite, too

Scenery amazing. Crew attentive and friendly. Naturalists & zodiac trips good. Entertainment well done. Food generally very good. Not especially impressed with Thomas Keller, their new celebrity chef and his restaurant. As always you can request food items you like. The coffee bar on deck 7 has wonderful coffee & teas plus yummy sandwiches and desserts plus breakfast rolls-really busy place. Open from 6:15 am to late at night.

It is a great cruise company!! We would cruise with them again.

I was very comfortable in my quarters. The personnel made me feel very special. The ship had many features that made me comfortable.

A first-class ship with absolutely great food at every venue. Best Ever!

The Wintergarden Suite is great - highly recommended. Mid-ship with extended veranda (step out at night and enjoy the stars) and enclosed wintergarden. Food was very good, but the Thomas Keller steakhouse is a flop. Really wearing down the brand name with that one. The Antarctica expedition team is phenomenal, but other shore excursions are only so-so. Staff is friendly and smiling with only few service glitches over a 21 day period. Enjoyable.

Have quite a bit of cruising history but this was the first time on Seaboard. Loved the size of the ship as it was smaller than other ships that we have traveled on in the past. Everything was close and convenient and we were really impressed with the friendliness of the staff and crew.

Very good -- but not excellent in all aspects. Suite was great; staff was great; excursions were great; expedition staff was great; itinerary was great; food was disappointing; entertainment was mixed.

Time aboard Seabourn was great.

We had a superb family vacation on the Quest. Seabourn's typical fine service, cabins, and dining made for a wonderful experience.

Great ship, well maintained. Superb service by the entire Staff. Excellent food and drink. The Keller Grill was outstanding.

It was a good cruise, ship was excellent. It's a very different atmosphere from a Mediterranean or Adriatic cruise. Everyday shore excursions, very active. And at least in May, very cool. But lots of light extends the day. More focus on excursions than shipboard activities. Didn't seem to have the same high staff levels as our summer cruise. But everyone was excellent and always there to please.

It was wonderful as we have come to expect from Seabourn: great food, friendly staff, comfortable accomodations, super entertainment. and fun and informative tours. This was our fourth cruise with Seabourn and we hope to have many more.

We have no complaints at all about the Seabourn Quest. The best highlights include the crew service, the dining venues, and the Ventures Team that manages the kayak and zodiac adventures. It was a lovely trip...wish we could have stayed on board longer!

The friendly staff aboard the Quest made the passengers feel very welcomed and pampered. The suite was comfortable and well designed.

First class! Excellent staff and food was awesome. We have never used any other cruise line and probably never will.

Our trip was one of our more pleasant and relaxing Ocean going experiences. I can not speak highly enough regarding our Captain and his entire Crew. There was never a moment that your wants and needs were not satisfactorily arranged and met. Will look forward to another planned trip through Marion Hager, our travel Advisor.

Most delightful. Staff was great. Food very good to excellent. The only Big Wrong that Quest did, was close the Jacuzzis in the evenings when it was smooth. So many cruise lines don’t. Sure would like a good explanation, as I won’t do another Seabourn unless there is a clear understanding that the adults can swim or Jacuzzi after dinner. Made us feel like hampered children.

The Norway cruise was very enjoyable, and educational. The weather was generally very good, and we learned a lot from the experienced and knowledgeable Expedition Team

The public area is totally affected by weather. We were confined in the state room a lot.

Fabulous, except for the Tomas Keller Grill and food. Seabourn's is much better and with no pretension.

Both service and dining experience much improved since last cruise. Appreciated the new strict smoking policy. Thomas Keller Grill a fantastic improvement over Restaurant 2. New adventure travel addition also a well received program.

Not as great as our last cruise to Australia. Not enough coordination between the cruise ship team and the land excursion team. Land excursions poor. Lots of new help on board. Not trained well.

My family was spoiled rotten. Their staff provided great customer service and as well as being very friendly.

Excellent service and food was outstanding. Our suite was excellent. The wines served were a disappointment compared to the food. We would recommend a step up in the wines. Also, we would recommend internet be included. We paid for internet service and it was exceptionally slow.

The ship was clean and comfortable. The crew was outstanding and the food was very good. Whats not to like ?

It was wonderful. We have sailed on many other cruise lines several times. This was our 3rd with Seabourn and we think it is our favorite. The staff knows you by name and will do everything possible to make sure you are happy. We love the size of the verandah stateroom compared to other ships, as well as the bathrooms. And, their sail-always are phenomenal. In fact, we just booked a 4th cruise with them which leaves in January. Everyone was great on this ship with the exception of the cruise specialist/reservationist.

Fabulous! I was treated like a queen. Seabourn goes out of their way to see to it that solo passengers are never left alone to dine.

We went to Antarctica! It was amazing and staff were fabulous

Adventure plus! Good food!!! Antarctic landings spectacular. Antarctic kayaking incredible. Scenery fabulous. Educational lectures wonderful. Seabourn Quest staff incredible. Seabourn Expedition people phenomenal. Quest Captain's expertise and friendliness exceptional.

The Quest was the almost perfect ship for this exploration to Antarctica. I wish the suites were larger and similar to those on Oceania but the experience more than made up for that. The food was close to excellent and the crew was over-the-top unbelievably great

Seabourn does an excellent job of making the passenger feel special and part of the Quest family. Would not even consider booking with another cruiseline!

The best ever! Staff/crew, locations, etc. were phenomenal!

We were on most recent Quest trip from San Antonio to Buenos Aries. The tragedy that occurred was handled in an incredibly professional and sensitive manner. We have enjoyed six previous cruises on Seabourn and their incredible ability to deal with individual preferences is extraordinary. Our respect for both Seabourn and the crew of the Quest individually and collectively is immense.

Fantastic ship....well run....lovely staff.....excellent lectures & entertainment. Could not have been any nicer!

My husband and I spent a week in the Mediterranean on the Seabourn Quest for our honeymoon. It was such a great way to see several spots along the French and Italian rivieras! The boat was stunning, staff was fabulous and the itinerary was perfect. We felt very taken care of the entire time.

We "officially" became GOLD members during our most recent time on board. We are big fans of Seabourn. We appreciate the way the "they anticipate our needs." I feel at home on the ship,very comfortable. After being on another vacation recently, checking in & out of various hotels for 9 nights in 11 days, I informed my wife, " call Seabourn , I need a day at sea!"

This was my second cruise on the Seabourn Quest. My first was the UK, Northern Europe and Scandinavia in April-May of 2017. My friends, wife and I had a great experience during our first Seabourn Quest cruise and so when we looked at going on another cruise this year, Seabourn was at the top of our list and it was fortuitous that the Quest was sailing on the dates and itinerary that we wanted. The accommodations are excellent and the food is superb but the reason that we will keep coming back is the unique and personalized service that Seabourn provides to all if it's guests. Being addressed by name almost immediately upon arrival is a great touch from Seabourn. Our friends did have a minor issue in their cabin (very slow hot water) but that was finally corrected. The guests on the cruise that we met and got to know were all very nice and friendly and were from many areas from all over the world. I will definitely look at Seabourn again for my next cruise.

A fine experience overall. Ship, crew, all personnel were gracious and helpful. We’d definitely repeat our experience should the opportunity arise.

Enjoyable. Food was excellent, but too ethnic oriented. Wine didn't distinguish the cruise.

Very relaxing. Outstanding service.

Wonderful staff and crew. Ship is getting a bit worn a round the edges.

After 70+ cruises, tried Seabourn and, for the most part, were pleasantly impressed. Clean, pretty, mostly in good repair, spacious guest room, great bathroom. Attentive caring staff, great Shore Excursions and incredible entertainment -- best ever for a small ship. Creative food and special diets were usually well handled. After 30 days, did not want to leave. Onboard Management is accessible and visible at all times. Staff made us feel very valued and comfortably at home especially JP (maitre d') and Ana (Hostess). Seabourn's expansion apparently created issues with either not enough staff or not well enough trained staff. Too many small items were done wrong or not at all. There was just no attention to detail, which is extremely important in this level of cruising. It improved on our second leg after we discussed issues with them. Overall, we loved our Seabourn experience and will be back. Virtuoso hosts were great as was tour but lunch, again, was way too long.

We love Seabourn for the great service provided by their Crew. We've been on the Quest 3 times now and they always provide an excellent onboard experience. The Ventures Team is an added bonus as you get to experience the land as never before via kayaks and zodiacs. We look forward to our next trip on the Quest!

We enjoyed the cruise and the wonderful crew of the Quest. We especially enjoyed the piano music of David in the Sky Lounge, and our cabin assistant Tamara.

Mostly excellent on board Quest. Thought too much emphasis on liquor. Some issues with wine at Thomas Heller dinner. Wish more reasonably priced excursions

Excellent service and food. Wide variety of meal choices and drinks.

Fabulous love the Seabourn cruise line!

This is a GREAT ship and worthy of its 5 diamond rating. The staff is friendly, food is great, as is the entertainment. This is my first trip with this line and would be happy to do so again. I met many people who said they went on it once and will always go again instead of other lines. One thing I like, as did others, was that "no tipping is required or expected". I am happy to tip but not every time someone gives me a drink...You will, I am sure really enjoy going with line.

SECOND TIME CRUISED WITH SEABOURN. THE SERVICE AND STAFF ARE WONDERFUL. THE FOOD IS FIVE STAR.

Very very disappointing. Dining room food and service very spotty. I have never on any cruise sent food back, I did 3 times. We waited 10 min for menus in the main dining room. Our room the first 7 days was never made up until after 1:00 pm. For our taste, too many buffets including the kitchen extravaganza. The main dining room is lovely but only open for a limited number of hours. The colonnnade space has an amazingly low ceiling hence very noisy. And buffet breakfast and lunch. The performance space is terrible with low ceilings huge columns, poor sight lines, uncomfortable seats and a sound system much too loud. Badly designed space for multipurpose use.The captain was MIA , we went through a huge storm with no warning. We were in a huge storm coming back from Antartica on another line and we knew to clear table tops etc, this cruise..nothing. We had very bad weather which no one can predict but an excursion we went on should never have happened,and it was not inexpensive. ETC ETC

This is a premier cruise line. Smaller ships, great personal attention, excellent food and a very helpful staff. I only have two minor complaints. First, the complimentary wine provided is really not very good. I wish they would improve the selections. Second, in cooler weather when outdoor dining is uncomfortable, the inside dining venues become full very quickly. Otherwise, great.

Wonderful, restful cruise. I’m recovering from a stroke so my activity off the ship was fairly limited. The ship was very hospitable and the crew was fabulous given that we spent a lot of time on the ship. My only complaint was there were so few meal opportunities and they weren’t open very long when they opened. Otherwise excellent.

Beautiful ship. The crew was very attentive and the food, drink and entertainment were all excellent

This was our fourth cruise on Seabourn and they have all been excellent. The service and food are wonderful and the ship design and maintenance is superb. We particularly like the innovative “Seabourn Square” which takes the functions normally handled at the reception/pursers office and puts them at individual desks located in the middle a comfortable lounge with available snacks and beverages all day.

we loved the Seabourn cruise ship "Quest". The food was amazing as was the whole experience.

Truly a quality trip. Though the totally absurd decision to charge for internet and cell service, and exorbitantly at that, starkly flies in the face of all the luxury service provided. They tout the free drinks and no tipping "all included" policy, and choose to rip you off for something that is free at your local coffee shop. Seems rather counter-intuitive. They didn't do that on my recent Viking sea cruise.

The ship is gorgeous and just the right size. The staff was exceptional on all levels. However, the extremely high fee for poor internet service is a deal breaker for us. Most ships include the internet for the high cost of the trip!

My trip was wonderful. A great birthday on board.

Service was only 50/50 I would not book this line again.

We are long time travelers with Seaborne. Service and attention to detail is what makes us return. The food and staff have never disappointed us. When problems arise with weather conditions that become difficult they are quickly solved and changes for our safety are seamlessly made. The captain on the Quest was able to get us into the next port ahead of the tough seas that would not allow us to stop at the previous port.

Being on Seabourn is always wonderful. This trip was no different. All services on the ship were perfect.

Relaxing and very enjoyable

The staff onboard Seabourn Quest were amazing ,all overworked yet maintaining a smile and attention to service . Only a ship same as any other without fine quality staff ,thankfully still same . Current cuts are ,cheap lumpfish $5 dollars a jar served as caviar ,the good real caviar always served now replaced by this rubbish . Artificial flowers on tables in dining room ,so Holland America . A selection of only 4 sandwiches in Seabourn Square ,no variety of change ,prior voyages always a different selection each day ,the offerings were most unappetising .No more cucumber or tuna ,. Ventures group onboard Antartica amazing attention always to each guests safety ,A1 .

Seabourn Quest was great

We are loyalists to the Seabourn Brand. However they could not get it right for one day when it came to food service basics. I would hesitate to sail this particular Seabourn ship right now.

The ship was first class, and particularly well-suited for the sailing to Antarctica. The expedition team was extremely experienced and knowledgeable of the region. Seabourn's food, beverages and service was excellent. It keeps us coming back.

Fantastic....clean....good food...THEY TAKE CARE OF THEIR PASSENGERS....nothing is to much for them to do

The time aboard the ship was very good. I like their smaller ships better. The Captain was very sociable and did a good job of advising us about bad weather and avoiding it. I thought their shore excursions were not very good in general. The one the last day was a disaster. Our flight did not leave Santiago until 10:45-11:00. Our excursion ended two hours before the United gates were even open. Luggage was stacked everywhere. It was a long day and night as United seemed to be particularly disorganized even though we were flying business-first. Also the Altair Palace which we bought thru Seabourn was very tired. Our friends in Buenos Aries said there several hotels that had nicer rooms. Service was good the room was uncomfortable. The moved us once but neither room was a premium room.

It was amazing, not sure that my travel companion can say the same. The entire time there was a vomit smell in her cabin.

We had the best time on this 21 day cruise from Santiago to Antarctica to Buenos Aires. The crew, services, food, drinks were all amazing. A great time - highly recommended!

The Quest is a beautiful ship especially for exploration and expeditions such as Antarctica. I can't imagine going on any other currently operating vessel. Being able ti return onboard to such elegant yet homey and comfortable surroundings. We enjoyed the contrast by ending the trip going up the coast of South America up the Amazon--a trip of a lifetime.

Love this cruise line!! They know how to do it right. This particular trip was bit disappointed in lectures,, but aa mild complaint.

This was our fifth cruise on Seabourn, our first on Seabourn Quest. We loved every minute of it. The crew was exceptional, the food delicious (nice, small portions), the entertainment was excellent for a small ship and we met many fascinating passengers. I can't wait to cruise on Seabourn again.

First time on Quest , second Seabourn cruise. We found the ship to be very nice, many different area's to relax, read and enjoy. Excellent food and very friendly staff. Probably the first ship (in more than a dozen others) where the Quest itself would be as important as the itinerary.

We chose this voyage because it included ports in Norway we hadn't visited before. Now I know why - the small ports were pretty uninteresting. On Sundays the small towns are locked down tight and we even had a public holiday which was the same effect. We were very disappointed with the Cruise Director. The meals were very good, however on some days the weather was very cold and inclement. No one wished to eat out on the open deck and the demand on the Colonnade was so great we were turned away at lunch. We were referred to the Observation Bar where there was tasteless soup and dry sandwiches. We enjoy Duplicate Bridge, but the Directors were not very friendly and there were only 3-1/2 tables attending.

Seabourn Quest provided a fantastic trip through Arctic regions. Cabins on Quest are very roomy and the food is excellent. In some areas they lacked staff numbers but in general all staff were friendly and provided good service.

Service excellent

The suite was good, the food was good and the service was fine. The poolside decking is buckling and the carpeting needs to be changed. Some of the entertainment is quite bad.

Good as always😉

First time travelers on Seabourn. Over priced. Food hygiene and meal quality below par.

First Seabourn Cruise and what a great way to travel. The ship, crew and passengers made the cruise exactly what we were looking for: Relaxation, exceptional service, very good ports of call and meeting new and interesting people.

We were on the cruise while hurricane Dorian was rampant. The captain did a magnificent job of assessing the problem, revising the itinerary, and keeping the passengers apprised of the situation. We never even had any rough seas!

Our trip from Montreal to Boston was quite an adventure. We outran Hurricane Dorian without feeling the effects of the storm - which was quite strong, causing major damage in Halifax and Nova Scotia, two of the ports we were scheduled to visit. Our captain was incredible, timing his route to avoid high winds and rain. Finding a safe port in a storm takes on new meaning for me now:-) The trip itself was far and above the service and amenities I expected ...we got to know the staff and performers - possible on a ship that is smaller than most. Seabourne takes care of you with warmth and impeccable service. We've already booked our next cruise with them.

Excellent. The service was superb. The food - after a bit of a slow start - was very good and the chef went out of his way to create delicious gluten free food for me.

My third voyage on Quest and it was excellent in every way

Fantastic service. Seabourn has the highest ratio of staff to passenger in the cruise industry. And it shows. Although the ship isn't as large as the Crystal or Regent ships, the feeling is greatly enhanced by the joyful staff. I don't k now what they smoke in the staff quarters, but they were all happy. And were really well trained.

We particularly enjoyed the entertainment and the staff. There were various difficulties experienced with excursions planned by Seabourn by our party of four and other friends we made on board. Many had difficulties with the Seabourn website before traveling and with communication on board, or a lack thereof, from showers, to ports, to accessing information on the tv, for examples.

The ship is in great shape and our stewardess did an outstanding job of satisfying all of our needs.

This was our best cruise ever. We met some lovely people and all but one tour was exceptional. The food was over the top.

Great suite, excellent food, staff exceptionally helpful and skilled

Perfection in travel. Every detail was perfect. From the food, to the drinks, to the little things that you don’t think about or ask for that they voluntarily provide, this trip was perfect. I would recommend Seaborn to anybody who likes perfection

The ship was excellent and the staff as well. We enjoyed this ship. The only thing that we would like to see improve is - at the restaurants we would sometimes need to ask for a beverage such as a coffee. Also somewhat unhappy that we had to anchor as often as we did and take tenders. It appeared to us that bigger cruise ships in the harbor would get the best spots and we would have to take the tenders.

Loved every minute. Amazing crew. Only complaint was I ate too much!

perfect Always a pleasure to sail with seaboard

Captain Alex and Jan, the cruise director, were both outstanding. Everything on board exceeded our expectations. The food and service in all venues was superior and the six days we spent in Antartica were the highlight of any trip we have ever taken.

21 day Antarctica with Expedition team. Amazing experience. Thomas Keller was favorite restaurant. Avoided the ship restaurant after second disappointing meal. The talent was wonderful. We had the added surprise of Colin O’Brady with us for first few days. This was our 3rd Seabourn trip and won’t be our last. We stood on sea ice (first ever for Seabourn). Kayaking Antarctica was a highlight. The list goes on. Unfortunately, my trip was colored by an incident handled so poorly by Chris, the Guest Services manager. We were gifted a penguin hat with Seabourn logo among other things. On the first day of Fjords, everyone was in the lounge with expedition team on deck watching for whales. At one point, I left my hat and jacket on a chair. A passenger stole the hat. I reported in when it happened and she denied it. Guest Services would not replace the hat. I told everyone. After four days, they left a hat in my room with no logo. How petty to have handled it this way.

Wonderful. It is a lovely ship & all the crew could not have been more professional, pleasant & fun.

What a journey. From Miami to Buenos Aires it was first class all the way. Seabourn Quest is the best, but we had fantastic weather and sea conditions. We were able to get into places that they weren’t able to get into normally. Fantastic weather and what a cruise.

The Quest has the quality we have come to expect from Seabourn. The crew members are unfailingly courteous and attentive. The ship is clean and well maintained. The public spaces are well thought out.

Fabulous cruise to Antarctica and Patagonia. The service on Seabourn continues to be outstanding. They go out of their way to make the trip as perfect as possible. The Expedition Team on the ship was superb and this made our time in Antarctica just wonderful.

We had a wonderful Antarctica cruise - we saw five different kinds of penguins as well as albatrosses and many other birds, seals, dolphins and whales, all in their natural habitat. The geography, icebergs, and glaciers were amazing. The excursions were excellent. The Expedition Team gave fantastic presentations before the landings, and gave on-site explanations of everything. The accommodation, food and service on the ship were excellent. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The captain was able to avoid bad weather in Drake Passage by staying in port an extra night, and this made our crossing quite calm. He was also able to add an extra stop at New Island which had huge populations of Gentoos and Rockhoppers – a highlight of the trip.

Our cruise was excellent in all respects.

Everything I could have desired. No faults found other than service and quality of food and drinks so good we had a weight problem

We had a wonderful 21 voyage through Patagonia and Antarctica. Everything was exceptional including our cabin, food, regular crew and the 25 member expedition crew. Superior and friendly service from crew who made it a memorable experience.

We just returned from an exploration cruise on the Seabourn Quest to Antarctica. Everything was perfect.. we have the trip of a lifetime. The crew on the ship was fantastic. We can hardly wait to go back!

Seabourn is where we want to be! We have tried many different lines, but have concluded that Seabourn is the best. Everything on these ships...food,accommodations, staff, tours, and entertainment have been great.

The trip was right during COVID,, so it was a bit difficult to say. We were not extactic about the food this past time. The staff is always attentive and it was wonderful to travel a bit.

The room and crew were excellent, friendly and attentive. The dining and spa were first rate. The excursions were 85% of what we expected and the sites were amazing for the most part. Entertainment was very good, with some acts being excellent. However, there were problems. Most excursions involved tenders as the ship did not dock at most excursion sites. This delayed the actual visit times, which was worsened by some long bus rides. The quality of complementary wines was very average and worse than on prior cruises, forcing wine purchases from an expensive wine list. Full internet cost over $200 per person unless guests agreed to not used video or audio downloads. Excursion guides for the most part had thick accents. Most importantly, changing the embarkation port from Venice to Ravenna caused considerable trouble and expense. There were insufficient water taxis when our transfer bus arrived in Venice. I am not sure whether we will choose Seabourn again.

Would not travel on any other line. Best one!

Amazing crew….made you feel like a King and Queen. Personable! Delicious meals in all restaurants and room service. Veranda cabins very well planned out! Housekeeping and laundry service were “tops”! Entire crew knew your name and knew your likes and dislikes. Entertainment was the “BEST”! Would plan another cruise….soon!!!!

We have sailed on many Seabourn Ships and enjoy what they offer. I would have to say that our latest cruise wasn’t up to the standard of previous cruises. The reason I believe is the effects of Covid, lots of new staff and new systems needed to navigate Covid. What we do love about Seabourn is the entertainment, dining and Seabourn staff. Sailing at night and waking up at a new port to explore is fabulous.

The food was not consistent, some days it was good, others not acceptable! Cooking meat to a certain temperature was a challenge as to 6 times out of 6 the meat had to be sent back. Quality control on towels doesn’t exist, thread bear holes, I use better to dry my car! Service during dining, well it could take 2 1/2 hours to have a simple dinner. Once your food was delivered you could forget water, wine or any thing else. Management needs to know what they are doing in order to teach the crew. The Quest knew in advance how many guests were expected yet the were not prepared! A very expensive learning experience! People apparently have learned to deal with mediocre and accepted it as wonderful! Covid is no longer an excuse! I will never set foot on another Seabourn ship after the experience we had on this ship!

Very good. we got on the ship and off the ship with absolutely NO hiccups. The ship was very comfortable and easy to get around in. the restaurants were excellant and the staff was incredible!!!

What a beautiful ship and wonderful service. We and our friends loved everything about our cruise.

Excellent on-board experience - staff attentive, courteous and friendly. Accommodations very nice. Food choices and service outstanding. Entertainment varies in talent - some average at best to very good. Re excursions - do your homework and choose wisely. Disembarking in NYC was a comedy of errors. Not sure who to blame - Seabourn or port personnel. All in all - a wonderful 12 day excursion.

Excellent accommodations, service, and experience. Smaller ship with many amenities.

A wonderful ship with a terrific staff in each phase of its operations, but we were disappointed with the dinners (not up to our prior Seabourn experience), with the limited dinner menus in the Colonade Restaurant and with two of our stops - Charlottetown and Halifax.

The entertainment throughout the cruise was superb and most memorable. The activities were very enjoyable. Especially appreciated was a special tour of the Bridge for our group from USNA Class of 1957. The dining experience was without equal. The friendly, pro-active staff was outstanding. The smiles and being called by name was heartwarming and so meaningful. I already miss the cruise and would return in a heart beat!

Enjoyed Seabourn Quest. Staff excellent. Good restaurants. Would have liked to have some additional access to signature Keller Grill.

Great service, ship in very good condition, shipboard amenities were very responsive to our interests

The cruise we took was in October, NYC to Montreal. Quest has 2 outdoor bars, which were cold for this cruise. It doesn’t have an indoor bar open all day, only the outdoor bars, which made it difficult to socialize (don’t like to drink alone in cabin). Staff was very friendly. Entertainment very good. Food okay. But TK Grill was excellent. Shore excursions, below average. If you have an excursion that comes back after restaurants close, your out a luck. Only room service. No late night snacks. Bars close at 12pm, even with guests still there.

The staff makes seabourn stand out. They are always helping out with a smile. They truly work as a team. That makes the difference.

We enjoyed 79 days onboard the Quest. The food, entertainment and service lived up to our expectations. The onboard staff work much harder to earn our thanks than the shore based workforce. They are the weak link!

A spectacular trip to our last continent and around South America. The ship is beautiful, the staff and entertainment 6* and the itinerary was amazing. The one downside for this particular trip was that Seabourn totally screwed up the delivery of boots and parkas for the Antarctica portion. They managed to fix it to some extent, but that wasn't what I expected from Seabourn. Otherwise, the trip was just flawless! Will travel with Seabourn again, but would like them to address the failing and fix it for us properly.

Very good service and accommodations. Food was average to very good. 5 stops in the Canary Islands were too repetitive Many were similar.

Great food, good service, well maintained ship.

The state rooms are good as was the entertainment….also the tenured crew were above average. Everything else was from poor to mediocre.

Great room, excellent service, decent food, spotty excursion quality, and below average wine offerings

Quest is a beautiful ship with luxury appointments. Staff is well trained and there to please. Value, however, is difficult to identify. Food is good to Very good but not outstanding. Actual food served in the restaurant is sometimes not clearly described on the menu. Offering only one red wine by the glass in Keller is a big mess.

Seabourn has created a culture where all the staff are dedicated to engaging you on the basis of ensuring your happiness, no matter what it takes. If you like being pampered, sail Seabourn. They do not know how to say no!

First class all the way. The food was great, our room accommodations met our needs, spacious and easy to live in for 10 days. All of our needs were met. The staff was above and beyond our expectations. Everything was great and we can't wait to go again!

The positive: great food, one of the best itineraries, good excursions, among the best entertainment we've heard aboard ships. The negative: service is spotty, particularly in the Thomas Keller Grill where they often get orders wrong or not at all and the Observation Deck where they are understaffed. Cabins and dining area smaller aboard this older ship.

Luxurious! Spacious Cabins! Incredibly delicious food! Friendly staff! Absolutely beautiful and the best! We loved our experience on the Seabourn Quest. We hope we can cruise again with Seabourn. The entertainment was very professional. We looked forward to the nightly performances. We also enjoyed our spa experiences very much.

Seabourn has invested well in the Quest. The ship looks great, service is still excellent.

Seabourn Quest is the best of the best. They continue to maintain the highest of standards making our cruise a memorable experience. We had a fabulous time with great accommodations and delicious food and wine. The entertainment was superb!

At the start of the trip the cruise director, James, told us that their goal was to make the Quest our home away from home. That's what they did. Every crew member went out of their way to be friendly. It was amazing how many knew our names! We could not have been more pleased.

The food was excellent, the service was excellent and the cruise was very enjoyable.

We had been on Quest before, prior to Covid. It's still a fine ship, nicely outfitted, but some of the furnishings and fittings are showing signs of wear or age. Nothing significant, but noticeable nonetheless. With one notable exception, crew courtesy and friendliness was better than I remember from 2019, approaching what we experienced on our first, smaller Seabourn vessel.

Service was great People were friendly Very high staff to passenger ratio Great food Good entertainment

We are almost at 200 days. Have to say that each cruise is getting a little more disappointing. On this recent cruise, it wa easy to tell that the housekeeping and RESTURANT servers had virtually no class A training. Sat in different sections of the dinning room….one could immediately tell that none had actually worked in a find dining RESTURANT ….very disappointing. I think it is time to say good by to THOMAS HELLER.; …. I will say his fish is always extremely good. However, when the person de-boning the fish needs better training.bones left in

We love Seabourn and the Quest is a great ship. We always find the crew and officers on Seabourn the friendliest of any cruise line. They interact with passengers, and do try to make you feel like we are part of their family. This particular cruise was chosen as Handre Potgieter was hosting from head office. Handre was cruise director on our 25th anniversary in 1987 and was an absolute joy, including performing our renewal of vows! Keep up the good work Seabourn.

It was very nice

Most enjoyable except for the decibel level of music (noise) on the pool deck. My Apple Watch registered 90 decibels during two performances. 90 decibels of sound can cause a loss of hearing. I complained ( requested) on the two occasion to have the amplification turned down. No action was taken! Disregard for passengers well being.

If you want a cruise where you are pampered and treated with a personal touch then you will love Seabourn. The entire crew is helpful, friendly, responsive to needs and they treat you as if you are the only one they are providing a service for. We have cruised on several other lines but we have found the food and entertainment to be excellent on Seabourn. All the excursions were handled with care and were well organized. We truly loved our two week cruise and look forward to our next one!

Seabourn Quest delivered an extraordinary journey, with 5 and even 6 star staff. The pool area was terrific, waiter service everywhere, never waiting for a drink. The PH suite was amazing, as was our suite attendant. Areas of improvement needed are the quality of food was not typical Seabourn wow. There were great meals, but room service orders were either wrong or on the cold side. Also, shore excursions should focus on quality of the excursion, not the quantity of them. For instance in Panama, wound up in a small car/taxi, 4 big adults were jammed in, and taxi stalled multi times. Few things for management to improve on, but has a great core of staff who make No’s into Yes.

Not polished except the room service

The crew was wonderful and very helpful. They went out of their way to help my wife who is in a wheelchair.

Seabourn recognizes and deals with individuals and their preferences.

It was lovely to be back on the Seabourn Quest. It is always a pleasure to sail with Seabourn, which we try to do a couple of times a year. It is Seabourn after all. To those who don’t know it, it is a selection of smaller ships (200-650 passengers). It is ultra luxury with fantastic staff.

Seabourn was our very first ever cruise and i think we started at the top of the cruise tree. Our experience was far beyong anything we could have imagined. The process from beginning to end was seamless. The staff ratio is more than half of the guests and not only did you feel like a part of a happy family, nothing was ever a bother or too much to ask. The entertainment on board was first class. The food was wide rangeing and varied while 5 star quality.

Had a great time but unfortunately couldn't get a shore at Amalfi because of rough seas. Albania was a bit of a disappointment, but all other stops were really good. Cabin Fantastic as were the staff. Only criticism was that the slippers provided were difficult to use.

The weather was very poor but we had a good time. The ship is great with a very professial crew.

We had a great time on the Quest and fantastic excursions

Seaborn made the celebration of my 80th birthday very special. It was of my wishes for my birthday and I was so happy to be there. My room was decorated very tastefully and it added to the special occasion.

The Seabourn experience never disappoints…pampering service, great food, and exceptional entertainment!

Short cruise but always great to be back on Seabourn. I hope they maintain the quality and not become another Carnival brand, would certainly lose many loyal clients.

This is an older ship, but is well maintained. The cabin was comfortable and the staff was very polite and accommodating. The food was excellent. That said, there were two port changes (one prior to the cruise and one during) resulting in too many "sea days" in a row on a small ship without a lot of activities and multiple days in a port that didn't have a lot to offer. The shows were OK but not in anyway comparable to the shows on our recent Celebrity cruise. On a personal note the guests on the cruise were mostly much older than we were...and were in our late 60's.

ship was good. staff was excellent.

This ship is exemplary in every way. Service, facilities, food, cabin, staff. The only thing you need to watch for is the tours or excursions. They are priced in US dollars and are very expensive. We used 'Get your Guide' to organise our own tours (based on what the ship was offering) and paid a quarter of the price that Seabourn were charging per person.

Seabourn cruises were recommended by our travelling buddies. Mandy our travel advisor said we could not go wrong with Seabourn. She was right! Wow! What an experience! Loved it! Currently thinking about where we can go next - with Seabourn of course 💖

We had a great time and we’ll cruise again with Seabourn.

The Quest is a beautiful ship, and the staff couldn't have been better. The service was excellent. The Quest is a small ship, so keep this in mind if you have any issues with sea sickness. Aside from that, it provides a wonderful cruising experience.
