Seabourn Odyssey

I just returned from Venice where I was a guest aboard The Yachts of Seabourn's beautiful new ship, the Odyssey. I was invited to preview the ship prior to its maiden voyage. The Odyssey accomodates 450 guests in 225 Luxury Suites. The Odyssey is loaded with innovative concepts, the largest spa on any luxury cruise yacht, and they have incorporated a coffee bar, upscale shops, a library, and terrace in their Concierge Lounge. The finishes are simply gorgeous, and 90 % of the suites, have private verandas. There are four different restaurants each offering a unique dining experience. Celebrity Chef Charlie Palmer, created the menus and was on board, and in the galley while I was there! There are also SIX bars where you can relax and enjoy a glass of Champagne or the top shelf beverage of your choice. The highlight of my stay aboard was sailing down the Grand Canal where throngs of people lined the banks to wave as we passed majestically by! The ship is just spectacular and was well planned and designed for Luxury Cruising. My agency, Betty Maclean Travel Inc. has been selected to host a Voyager Club Holiday Cruise in December of 2009. I hope you can join us!
