SEATTLE, Jan. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Seabourn, the world's finest ultra-luxury
travel experience, will soon be offering guests a breathtaking
perspective on the sights in the most coveted and remote
destinations in the world. Introducing the Constellation
Lounge, a viewing lounge located up high and forward to be
featured on each of the line's two new purpose-built expedition
vessels that are scheduled to launch in 2021 and 2022
respectively.
Designed along the lines of the Observation Bar, among the most
popular venues on every ship in the current Seabourn fleet, the
Constellation Lounge will debut with the launch of Seabourn
Venture in June 2021,
and follow on the yet to be named sister expedition ship in
May 2022. The name of the new lounge
reflects the heavenly direction of the space, which is dressed up
in constellation-inspired interiors, fashioned by hospitality
design icon Adam D. Tihany, including dark carpeting laid
out with bright constellation patterns. In addition, the furniture
is being created and designed by Tihany Product Design. The name –
Constellation Lounge - was last used on Seabourn Pride and
is a nod to the heritage of luxury hospitality built over more than
30 years of operation.
Located on Deck 9 forward, the Constellation Lounge will be the
highest indoor viewing point on each ship. Floor-to-ceiling glass
walls will wrap around the space, offering guests stunning
270-degree, outward-facing views as far as their eyes can see,
heightening their expeditionary spirit while bringing them closer
to wildlife and wonders at sea and in port. In addition, the
expedition team will be in the lounge regularly to help identify
points of interest, wildlife and geological wonders. Imagine
glimpsing killer whales, waddling penguins, and sea lions in
Antarctica; sleepy-eyed sloths,
sprightly monkeys, and colorful parrots in the rainforests of South
and Central America; and icebergs
bobbing in the seas and waterfalls rushing over cliffs in the far
reaches of the Arctic and Northern
Europe – all from the comfort of the Constellation
Lounge.
"The Constellation Lounge creates a scene all its own on our new
expedition vessels, inviting guests into a stunning space with
myriad delights to enjoy from morning into the night," said
Richard Meadows, president of
Seabourn. "The design of the space inspires, just like the sky
above. It will play out as an ideal setting to relax, unwind, and
review the day while soaking up amazing views."
The rich red and blue palette of the Constellation Lounge will
be accented by silver and bronze details from throw pillows to bar
stool stands, while velvety banquettes and comfortable, sleek,
sling-back lounge chairs will contribute to a seductive and relaxed
environment that encourages guests to kick back, converse, and
enjoy.
The captivating central bar of the Constellation Lounge will be
a destination on its own, with striking textured marble and a
unique geometrical faceted metal bar front. Taking inspiration from
the skies above, lighting elements will create star-like lighting
patterns across the ceiling. The featured art of the
Constellation Lounge echoes the geometrical elements of the space
with an ode to historical maps of the night sky.
The Constellation Lounge will offer Seabourn's popular Early
Morning Riser continental breakfast, while afternoons will feature
the line's popular and recently enhanced Afternoon Tea service.
Steeped in the tradition of proper English tea service, yet as
fresh and memorable as a newly brewed pot, the elegant daily tea
service incorporates the finest luxury tea brand TWG Tea. As the
sun dips and the night sky lights up, live piano entertainment will
delight guests as cocktails and tapas are served both before and
after dinner.
Seabourn Venture and its sister 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 other dining, social venues
and public spaces 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.
Seabourn continues to represent the pinnacle of ultra-luxury
travel with intimate ships offering key elements that set the line
apart: spacious, thoughtfully appointed suites, many with verandas
and all 100% ocean front; superb dining in a choice of venues;
complimentary premium spirits and fine wines available on board at
all times; award-winning service and a relaxed, sociable atmosphere
that makes guests feel right at home on board. The ships travel the
globe to many of the world's most desirable destinations, including
marquee cities, more than 170 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and
lesser-known ports and hideaways. The company is the Official
