Across all suite categories, guests will find new mattresses and wool carpeting. Penthouse and premium suites also received new veranda furniture.

Seabourn says the refurbishment diverted more than 20,000 square metres of carpet from landfill, with the material planned for reuse as carpet padding in a future fleet renovation.

The 450-guest Seabourn Quest is currently sailing a series of seven-day voyages between Dubrovnik, Venice (Fusina), Istanbul and Athens, with calls at yacht harbours and islands across Croatia, Greece, Montenegro and Turkey. Voyages can be combined into 14- and 21-day itineraries.
