Seabourn Quest Returns From Drydock After Major Interior Renovation

Seabourn Quest has returned from drydock after what Seabourn described as the broadest interior renovation in the company’s history, with work spanning suites, dining rooms, lounges, circulation areas, the pool deck and the spa. The 32,000-gross-ton ship is resuming its Mediterranean program, which runs through November 2026. Seabourn did not disclose the cost of the drydock.

The Club leads the public-space changes

The most significant redesign was in The Club, where Seabourn reworked the room with a speakeasy-style atmosphere, a changed floor plan, a redesigned bar and new lighting intended to support live music and evening social activity.

“This drydock represents an investment that reflects our unwavering focus on elevating every aspect of the guest experience,” said Mark Tamis, president of Seabourn. He said the line wanted to improve spaces where guests spend much of their time, including suites and The Club.

Seabourn Square was refurnished with a warmer lounge setting and bistro-style seating, while the Observation Bar received new carpet and furniture. The main pool deck now has renewed teak decking, a new sound system and lighting. Carpets in the atrium, corridors and stairways were replaced with water-inspired patterns.

“Our goal was to create spaces that feel natural, intuitive and effortlessly comfortable for guests,” said Linh Nguyen, Seabourn’s senior manager, interior design and assets management.

Dining rooms, suites and spa receive upgrades

In the dining program, The Colonnade was updated with new flooring, seating and a revised service line with a greater focus on live cooking. The Restaurant received new carpet and drapery for a lighter interior treatment. The onboard shops were also updated.

All suites received new mattresses and wool carpeting, while Penthouse and premium suites also received new veranda furniture. Seabourn Quest is an all-suite ship with 225 suites and capacity for 458 guests at double occupancy, supported by about 330 crew members. Built in 2011 and previously refurbished in 2018, the vessel is the third ship in Seabourn’s Odyssey-class series.

The spa work included a redesigned reception area, replacement gym equipment and a refreshed salon with updated lighting and finishes.

Seabourn also reported several waste-diversion steps tied to the drydock. More than 20,000 square meters of removed carpet were kept out of landfill for repurposing, all mattresses were recycled, and lounge furniture was donated to an Italian nonprofit organization.

Mediterranean season continues before 2028 world cruise

Seabourn Quest is scheduled to operate seven-day Mediterranean voyages between Dubrovnik, Fusina near Venice, Istanbul and Athens, with calls in Croatia, Greece, Montenegro and Turkey. The sailings can be combined into 14- and 21-day itineraries.

The ship’s next long-range deployment identified by Seabourn is its 2028 Cape to Cape World Cruise. That voyage is scheduled for 120 days and more than 26,000 nautical miles.
