Sojourn summer 2025 cruises cancelled

[2SailingNomads]

And SB pulled all the stops in Turkey - a reason we booked that cruise in addition to it fitting with our river cruise - from our August cruise despite that cruises before and after are going to Turkey,  No reason given. Smells like bad fowl to me.  Nataly step up and share please or I'll keep booking elsewhere as I'll be once again on a great Regent ship in 3 weeks when SB could have had my business.

Unfortunately, Regent and Silversea are having the same problems with letting their clients know what is going on with cancellations.  People who book luxury lines are savvy and can handle the truth.

Yes we had multiple ports removed from our Regent Christmas / New Years cruise on the Grandeur, but... Regent compensated us with $500 OBC and a 10% discount (based on what we paid)  on a future cruise.  Nothing from Seabourn for removing the ports in Turkey except a note that the itinerary has been changed with no explanation.  A big difference in customer service and retention IMO.

Last month had my Encore cruise 4 May 2025 cancelled. Today I have had my Ovation cruise 30 August 2025 cancelled. Not impressed with the way Seabourn are handling this. As a long time cruiser with Seabourn, nearly 25 years, wonder what is going on as this has never happened before.

I hear you.  We are long time cruisers, but after having yet another cruise cancelled on another cruise line my wife and I have given up on cruising for the foreseeable future.  We are only booking land-based trips.

   The Ovation cruise on 30 August 2025 is still available to book on their website.  My TA checked with Seabourn and they don’t show it as cancelled.  Hmmmmmm.  Hopefully it is still a go.

Our Ovation 20 night cruise on September 19th 2025 has just lost a day.

Update, it is the 20 day Ovation cruise leaving 30 August 2025 that has been cancelled.

My TA thinks it must be a charter as it is the 9 to 19 September leg that is not available. Interestingly we looked at maybe doing just the first 10 days but our cabins have already gone and the price has increased considerably. The 10 day cruise is almost as much as we were paying for the 20 day cruise.

Are you being reimbursed a portion?

Yes, one day. Plus some onboard credit to sweeten us!

That is a second portion of a cruise I am on.  No information that is it cancelled.  Did that come from Seabourn?

[marcy55]

Yes the information came directly from Seabourn and also my travel agent. I just checked on Seabourn website and there is no cruise for the period 9 to 19 September 2025 on Ovation.

It must be the second half of the 20 day on August 30, because you can still book a 10 day on August 30 on the Ovation.
