The Seabourn Quest cruises into summer starting June 9.
The Seabourn Quest, the newest addition to the wonderful world of luxury cruising, will set sail on the first of three pre-inaugural voyages from Monte Carlo, Monaco on June 9, and her maiden voyage from Barcelona, Spain on June 20. Offering European sailings, the ship caters to guests looking for a distinguished cruise experience. A wide variety of on-board activities abound for both the leisurely set and those seeking a bit more excitement, too.
Early birds can snag morning coffee and tea along with a panoramic ocean view at the Observation Bar, and then catch some rays on one of the 36 sun beds that line the Sun Terrace, or play a round of golf on the nine-hole course at The Retreat. The Grand Salon hosts cooking demos and enrichment activities by day, but transforms into an entertainment showcase come evening, with theater, comedy and musical performances. If you’re one of the lucky guests that find yourself on a select warm water sailing, you might even get to experience The Marina, a special enclosed area deployed by the ship’s captain. Here, you can enjoy water sports like kayaking, water skiing, and pedal boating. (more…)
