MV Seabourn Quest is a luxury cruise ship in Seabourn Cruise Line. It was constructed by Italian shipbuilder T. Mariotti. The vessel entered service in June 2011.[1]

Design and construction

T. Mariotti constructed the ship at their shipyard in Genoa, Italy.[2] Seabourn Quest was built using same design as her preceding sister ships, the Seabourn Odyssey and Seabourn Sojourn. They are among the smallest cruise ships in operation with any major cruise company.[3] Together, the three sister ships tripled the passenger capacity of the cruise line.[3]

The ship's name was chosen through a competition inviting submissions from the public between September and December 2009.[3] From 2,100 submissions, "Quest" (with 120 suggestions) was selected by the company.[3]
