SEATTLE, Dec. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Seabourn, the world's finest ultra-luxury
travel experience, will open a window on the majesty of nature for
guests of its new ultra-luxury purpose-built expedition ship,
Seabourn Venture, which is set to sail to the world's
most coveted and remote destinations beginning in June 2021. The Bow Lounge is designed to
further enhance the perspectives that the natural world presents,
increasing the sense of discovery that is sure to captivate guests
by bringing a view of the outside inside combined with direct
access to the outdoors.
Located on Deck 6, at the forward-most part of the vessel, the
Bow Lounge will provide the closest access to water level via the
foredeck, making it the perfect spot for guests to spend some time
watching for marine life. Within a few steps, guests can be
outside, with a vantage point that is ideal to watch the ship's
course, spot wildlife, or take in the beautiful natural scenery.
As envisioned by renowned designer Adam D. Tihany, the
creative design eye behind the new vessels, the Bow Lounge will
introduce some technological enhancements, providing guests with a
first for Seabourn with touch screens showing the ship's
plotted location, as well as navigational charts and scientific
information used to help guide the ship on its journey. Large
screens will project live footage from mounted cameras outside
the ship, and from a drone when conditions permit, while the
touch screen monitors invite guests to explore on their own with a
live map, weather information, and notes detailing upcoming
expeditions. Expedition Team members will be available within the
Lounge throughout the day to interact with guests, answer
questions, provide interpretation and aid in spotting wildlife.
The space will also provide direct access to the Bow Sprit on
Deck 6 forward (when conditions permit) to give guests the
sensation of standing in front of the ship and views of waves
parting and ice sloughing off the bow at the waterline.
"While we can't put Seabourn guests in the captain's chair on
the bridge, the Bow Lounge helps guests feel like they are
part of the action because of the position at the very front of the
ship along with information like maps and charts displayed on touch
screens," said Richard Meadows,
president of Seabourn. "The lounge is one of those unique
features that will set Seabourn Venture apart from most
expedition vessels, where guests can quickly walk outside to spot
natural features or wildlife as they learn from the expedition
team, while illuminating and invigorating the experience by getting
them as close as possible to the world outside."
Thoughtfully designed in deep blue and orange hues, the Bow
Lounge features rhythmic architectural lighting panels that balance
the space and contribute to the feeling of a control center laid
out for full access by guests. Wood and metal patchwork wall panels
will reflect the angular motif of the custom carpet and reintroduce
a handcrafted sensibility into one of the more technical and
engaging guest spaces onboard.
The "Pantry in the Bow Lounge," one of eight dining experiences
on Seabourn expedition ships, will allow guests to help themselves
to freshly prepared light fare and refreshments as they scan the
horizon and socialize with others onboard.
Each new ultra-luxury expedition ship will feature 132 luxurious
oceanfront veranda suites. Renderings of the new ships, suites and
public spaces of the ship can be found in the link here. More
details about the expedition ships will continue to be revealed in
the coming months. Itineraries for the first season of travel
aboard Seabourn Venture are now open for booking on the
Seabourn website. The second sister ship is set to launch in
May 2022.
