Seabourn is an awesome cruise line, I have sailed twice already with them, will do so again in 2025.

I think it is SO wonderful that you are spending time with your father and Joan, Christina and Stuart. It makes me remember my own father who passed last year. I love your videos!

Great job, thank you for your natural presentation and genuine enthusiasm.

Thanks for the great comments 🤗

The ship is beautiful! I realize the small ship in outside waters can be rough.

Another insightful video. Try using sea bands for seasickness, having been in 7 meter seas crossing the Tasman, I can confirm that they work!

Thank you for your excellent videos and your frank appraisals of onboard food and service, especially. ❤

I just love your channel. I love how you’re so sweet to your family. Love your vibe. Listening to you both is so relaxing and lovely. Been listening getting ready for my first Seabourn cruise in November and AMA river cruise in May. You both cover the real details I want to know! Cheers from Florida.

You produced an excellent video. I spent 80-days on Quest’s Grand Voyage circumnavigating South America. I had fun seeing the ship through your eyes.

[@theposhtravelblog]

Would be great to mention what is included as far as drink, spa, etc as you tour through the ship! And what costs extra or not included. Looks like a lovely time and your dad seemed to be having a great time!

[@theposhtravelblog]

Just about to load the video on what drinks included! Yes in future will mention more inclusions 🙏

Hello Stuart & Christina, very much enjoying this series and your recent Regent trip too. Is Cape Verde classified as Africa, I ask as my father is limited to European destinations for travel insurance? Also, a question specifically for Christina, I’d really love to know how dressy/or informal people are in the evenings? It looked as though the dress code in the evening was fairly casual, and you would be overdressed if you wore cocktail dresses? I do like to dress for the evening but don’t want to look like a Christmas bauble if everyone else is very casual!

[@theposhtravelblog]

Hi Andrea, yes Cape Verde falls under Worldwide insurance unfortunately. Re the dress code, this last cruise was quite casual, I think they’d advertised it at cheaper rates and it brought a different set of people onboard. From our previous experience it’s usually always fairly dressy, there’s no set rules on dress code just smart casual, but a lot of the time ladies put cocktail dresses on and I’m one of those! I haven’t seen ball gowns however like you’d find on Cunard, but on Captains night it is dress up time, again cocktail dresses. Basically you’re fine in a cocktail dress or a smart trouser combo most evenings. Hope this helps! X

[@Andrea-sl3ey]

@@theposhtravelblog Thanks for the quick and very helpful reply. I’ve cruised a lot with Cunard, which celebrates dressing up. I wasn’t thinking of taking my Cunard formal night evening gowns!!!, but it looked as though even my cocktail dresses would be a bit over the top in comparison to what I saw other guests wearing (you looked lovely and classy as per usual ☺️). Interesting that you mentioned that this was a bit more casual than normal for Seabourn. My Dad is 92, so finding itineraries that we’ve not done before but within his insurance limitations is becoming increasingly challenging.

[@geoffpeirce406]

Compared to Regent? Wonder what your thoughts are? Could be a new video comparing both?

[@theposhtravelblog]

It’s in the pipeline! 😂👍

[@heatherharry8914]

Hi really enjoyed the vlog thank you. I was just wanting to ask how the experience on Seabourn compared to MSC Expora? Appreciate the ships are different in size and price point, but is Seabourn worth the extra cost? ( also really enjoyed the Explora vlogs too !) Thanks x

[@theposhtravelblog]

Hi Heather, we love them both to be honest. We’ve cruised Seabourn for years and love the special events and of course the unlimited caviar! Our only trip on Explora was amazing, but it was different. More like being in a land based luxury hotel, no announcements, low key entertainment, but excellent dining. Suited us perfectly! We personally loved it but if you like a more traditional cruise style then Seabourn would fit. Price wise Seabourn are a bit more and that may be to do with the endless caviar! Think Explora had the edge on dining though. Explora was more private when it came to tables for two whereas Seabourn tend to put their tables close together or mix tables. Hope that helps! 😍

[@heatherharry8914]

Thank you for such a full response, and yes that is very helpful .

[@shawngalvin2209]

Each to their own. Personally, I couldn't think of a worse holiday. Enjoyed the video though.

[@georgecummings4953]

Why bother posting if you have nothing to say. We don't care for your views on cruising.

[@moma8229]

Everything looks dated and tired, try the new expedition ships for a breath of fresh air

[@theposhtravelblog]

Will do, on the list! 🥂
