Throughout the seriously classy, all-inclusive 450-passenger Seabourn Odyssey, intimacy and elegance are evident on every deck. In the innovative Seabourn Square, which offers all the facilities of a concierge lounge, you can browse the library and designer shops, or enjoy a coffee and patisserie while catching up on emails at the Internet Centre. On deck, the Retreat is a stylish sun terrace; there are also swimming pools and whirlpools at the Arabian-tented Pool Terrace where you can enjoy complimentary pool-side massages. Seabourn Odyssey's sea-level Marina offers waterskiing, among other diversions.
