The draft is 6.40 meters; the ship is divided into 11 passenger decks and has a capacity of 450. There are 225 staterooms, all offering large luxurious living areas. The gross tonnage of the ship is 32,346. The Sojourn as well as its two other sister ships the Seabourn Odyssey and the Seabourn Quest were designed by Bjorn Storbraaten of Yran & Storbraaten Architects AS, of Oslo, Norway.

Entertainments

According to the company information, this cruise ship Seabourn Sojourn will be among the most luxurious cruising vessels of the world. The ship will have a large, two-deck spa facility of over 11,000 square feet (1,000 m2), two outdoor swimming pools, and six outdoor whirlpool spas. The four restaurants and six bars and cafes will have seating capacity for over 800 diners, though the vessel carries just 450. The vessel's fold-out marina will provide water sports facilities for passengers to practice several different aquatic sports. There will also be exclusive shows provided by British company Belinda King Creative Productions. Seabourn Sojourn was scheduled to be named on June 4 at London, then begin her maiden voyage at Greenwich on June 6, 2010. The maiden season will be sailed in Northern Europe (Scandinavia/Baltic and Norway), before crossing the Atlantic and cruising the Caribbean and Panama Canal in the late autumn and winter. In January, 2011, Seabourn Sojourn was to begin a 111-day round-the-world cruise from Los Angeles, to Southampton, England.
