Halong Bay, Vietnam 16Mar14

We have been here before with ms Amsterdam cruise ship 
but we did exactly same tour this time again.

Ship's tour "Halong Bay cruise".

Weather was not so kind this time and very hazy
but it sort of adds mystic feeling to it.

Sail Away Party on board, Hong Kong March2014


 Patio Grill & Bar on deck 8 and Sky Bar on deck 9 were full of passengers includes newbies

Seabourn Sojourn Music Band led by Michael












 Light and Sound show every night

 Local traditional dance group came on board for performance

Bye bye Hong Kong...see you again soon...

Welcome on board Seabourn Sojourn Cruise March2014

 After check out of Crown Towers Macau Hotel, 
the fast ferry took us back to Hong Kong in an hour.

We went back to Langham hotel to get our suitcases from the concierge.
Just across the road, we found the cruise check-in desk 
on the ground floor of the cruise building.
It was very quite when we arrived there, 
so the check-in process finished in a minute.

There would have been little more than 100 passengers got on board today 
as this segment ended here in Hong Kong.
Out of 420 passengers, there would be just less than 100 passengers who 
are doing the 116 days whole world cruise from L.A to Venice.

 Nice welcome note and champagne in a ice bucket are welcoming us in our suit

 Spacious balcony comes in handy at ports we arrive and the walk-in wardrobe was also quite big enough for two men...hh

Captain's welcome message and little Hors d'oeuvre with caviar!

We liked the collection of soap bars selected for us.
Ferragamo sounds good but we settled with Hermes first.

 Marble and stone finish bathroom was very nice!
It has glass shower screen and bathtub.


 Cheers for the next 48 days on board.


 The Club on deck 5 became our favourite place for daily 
complimentary cocktails and champagne before dinner

 Needless to say about beautiful nibbles that 
come in various shapes and tastes in The Club

 Greg, in front of The Restaurant which 
is the main dinning


 Our suite
 Liked the ship's collection of recent international movies, TV shows and 
other digital entertainment

 view as you walk in

 Most popular space for passengers must be here, Seabourn Square.
It is like a family living room.

 Magazines, newspapers, iPad with scanned daily newspapers from all around the world, 
library, a desk for puzzle mania, tour desk, shop, internet cafe, coffee shop and front desk.
All in one space.

 Balcony just outside of the Seabourn Square


 The shop

 Guest Service(front desk) is located in the middle of the square

 Coffee shop for cappuccino and latte with grandma's cake etc.
Very popular in the morning just after breakfast.


 Observation Bar is a piano bar on deck 9
