What’s it like to cruise on the Seabourn Sojourn?
Here’s a look at the daily activities on the 11-Day Segment of the 2014 World Cruise sailing from Singapore to Mumbai, via copies of the Seabourn Hearld that guests receive in their suite each night describing the next day’s events.
Day 1 – Welcome Aboard in Singapore! 
We were surprised to find this first Heard personalized. It also contained multiple extra pages covering many of the key details and information for the cruise.
Day 1 – Schedule At-A-Glance After spending the sail-away at the Observation Bar and the outside space on Deck 10, we dined at the reservations-only Restaurant 2, which is a set-menu multi-course tasting menu. It was a delicious way to begin our cruise.
Day 2 – A day at sea – featured guest lecturer Paula Smith. 
Day 2 – Schedule At-A-Glance We attended the Tour and Port Talk on Phuket and Colombo, took the Galley Tour with Executive Chef Graeme, and got dressed up for the formal dinner. 
Day 3 – Phuket, Thailand 
Day 3 – Schedule At-A-Glance In Phuket, we took a Seabourn shore excursion called Thai Gastronomy at the Blue Elephant Cooking School. We loved it. 
Day 4- Day at Sea – It’s April Fool’s Day 
Day 4 – Schedule At-A-Glance This was the perfect day to relax, read books from the library in the Seabourn and do very little. We enjoyed another delightful dinner in the Restaurant 2.
Day 5- Day at Sea 
Day 5 – Schedule At-A-Glance After attending a port talk on tours in Cochin, Goa and Mumbai, I ventured out to art class with Sarah and Adele and was delighted to learn how to make a paper bead bracelet that ended up looking quite nice. We also enjoyed the 50’s Rock ‘N’Roll party on the deck.
Day 6- A Third Day at Sea
Day 6 – Schedule At-A-Glance We enjoyed getting some sun and relaxing by the pool. Tonight we made new friends at a dinner table hosted by Sarah and Adele.
Day 7- Colombo, Sri Lanka
Day 7 – Schedule At-A-Glance We took the ‘Life and Lore’ of Colombo tour through Seabourn and enjoyed it. 
Day 8- Day at Sea
Day 8- Schedule At-A-Glance Today we found ourselves busy with activities: a lecture on India by Dr. Paula Smith and another on the ‘Future of India’ with John Smith. There was also a pre-dinner concert by pianist Van-Anh with serious music and a humor-filled conversation about her being raised by a ‘Tiger mom.” After dinner, we caught the Jazz, Blues and Rock ‘N’ Roll show by the cast. 
Day 9- Cochin, India 
Day 9 – Schedule At-A-Glance Immigration in Cochin (our first port in India was a little painful) but the ship’s tour to Old Cochin was delightful from the fish nets to the Spice Market and Jewish Quarter. There was an elaborate party on deck tonight, which started early because of an incoming thunderstorm. We missed all but the end due to a late dinner, but all who attended found it quite impressive.
Day 10- Day at Sea
Day 10 – Schedule At-A-Glance We relaxed and got a little sun at the pool. Tonight we dressed up for a final formal dinner with new friends, and later enjoyed Lisa on the piano is the Observation Bar.
Day 11- Goa, India
Day 11 – Schedule At-A-Glance We had a terrific day in Goa, India touring with a cab driver from the pier. We visited the historic sites around Old Goa, and also headed to one of the nearby beaches where we enjoyed a cold Kingfisher beer. 
Day 12- Depart in Mumbai, India Sadly, we are off the Sojourn before 9 am.
