Seabourn's president, Rick Meadows commented on the new builds:
These two new ships will offer the understated elegance we are known for, as well as new amenities, innovations and modern design features that embody the hallmarks of Seabourn.
The new cruise ships will be based on the Odyssey-class, with one additional deck and expanded public areas. Popular features such as the Seabourn Square, a large area featuring guest services, the library, computer stations and a coffee shop, will be found on board the new vessels. Each ship will carry 604 passengers in luxurious all-suite, veranda staterooms.
