SEATTLE, Jan. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Seabourn, the world's finest ultra-luxury
cruise line, announces major enhancements to the guest experience
on Seabourn Sojourn, including the addition of the line's
new signature restaurant, The Grill by Thomas Keller, and the new mindful living
program created by Dr. Andrew
Weil.
The programs were launched following a recent dry dock period
for Seabourn Sojourn, which also included a variety of
detailed updates throughout the ship. Many of the public areas
received new carpet and design touches. Suites were refreshed, and
Owner's, Signature and Wintergarden Suites in particular were
notably enhanced with new furniture and soft goods.
"The Grill by Thomas Keller and
Spa & Wellness with Dr. Andrew
Weil are the latest in our long tradition of offering the
finest guest experiences in luxury travel," said Seabourn President
Richard Meadows, noting that both
offerings are now available fleetwide. "The outstanding
partnerships we have with Chef Keller and Dr. Weil are now
complete, with the next iteration to come on Seabourn
Ovation when it launches next spring."
The Grill by Thomas
Keller
Created via partnership with Seabourn in 2015,
The Grill by Thomas Keller is
reminiscent of the classic American restaurant from the 50's and
60's. The Grill is a unique culinary concept for Chef Keller,
exclusive to Seabourn, focusing on updated versions of iconic
dishes. Guests will be treated to table-side preparations of Caesar
salad and ice cream sundaes as well as a range of other favorites
like premium steaks, whole roasted chicken, and Lobster Thermidor,
presented à la carte. The timeless menu draws on the freshest
products from artisan purveyors. A unique cocktail program and
premium wine list of domestic and old world labels complement the
menu. Design by Adam Tihany further enhances the experience with
distinctive spaces enlivened with intimate, elegant, warmly
masculine settings.
The Grill by Thomas Keller will
be featured on Seabourn Ovation at the ship's launch in
May 2018.
Spa & Wellness with Dr. Andrew
Weil
Created in conjunction with The Onboard Spa by
Steiner, Spa & Wellness with Dr. Andrew
Weil is the first program of its kind available at sea. As
on other vessels across the Seabourn fleet, the Seabourn
Sojourn program is led by a dedicated Mindful Living Coach,
certified in yoga and meditation, whose role is to inspire and
educate throughout the voyage.
The main thrust of the program is the daily practice of
meditation and yoga, with some sessions offered on a complimentary
basis. Guests can experience Mindful Meditation, with positive
affirmations and mantras to reflect upon throughout the day. Yoga
classes are varied, with choices focused on physical issues, such
as the healing of back and joint pain, headaches and body
alignment, as well as enhancement of creativity, mental focus and
happiness.
Complimentary Mind and Body seminars are designed to educate
guests on philosophies and practices aligned with the program's
mission. Onboard seminars adapted from Dr. Weil's best-selling
books and research range from Spontaneous Happiness &
Spontaneous Healing to Healthy Aging and more.
One-on-one wellness sessions on select topics and a variety of
wellness services are also available for a fee.
Spa & Wellness with Dr. Andrew
Weil will be featured on Seabourn Ovation at the
ship's launch in May 2018.
Seabourn Sojourn will play host to Extended Explorations
itineraries during the first part of 2018, which create
opportunities for guests who prefer a more in-depth experience of a
particular region, or to traverse from one region to another. These
longer voyages frequently include more overnight stays in must-see
ports. The ship will return to Alaska for the summer in 2018, taking
travelers on unique itineraries that include the popular Ventures
by Seabourn excursions, an optional, for-charge program that gives
guests an up-close look at the natural beauty and
environment.
