Seabourn Odyssey is the first in a new-class of ships for Seabourn that accommodates just 450 guests in 225 luxury suites. Although, at 32,000 GRT, Seabourn Odyssey is more than triple the size of Seabourn Spirit and Seabourn Legend,
Does result in a lot more room as the base cabins in the older now-departed ships weren't exactly spacious compared to the newer ones.
These new ships are smaller than HAL's Prinsendam (nearly 39,000 GT) and a tad shorter. The Prinsendam (ex-Royal Viking Sun) did actually spend part of her career as the Seabourn Sun.
