On Feb 16, 2024 we started a three-day voyage westward in the Pacific Ocean from New Zealand to Australia. Our first port of call will be Sydney. It is 1,146 nautical miles (approximately 1,000 land miles) between New Plymouth, New Zealand and Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Our sea days were very relaxing, but there were a few special events. On Feb 16, 2024 we were treated to a Seabourn Signature Event — the Galley Market Lunch. This lunch is held in the main restaurant, but it is a buffet in which we were able to take our plates through the galley and enjoy all of the wonderful offerings prepared by the amazing chefs and culinary artists. Some of the items are shown below. The person serving one of the desserts was our Captain.

On Feb 18, 2024 we enjoyed another Seabourn Signature Event — the Epicurean & Team Member Salute. This event takes place on the pool deck and Epicurean delights — caviar, appetizers and desserts — are served with champaign, wine and drinks while the Sojourn House Band provides music. This event is held to celebrate many of the team members that will be leaving the Seabourn Sojourn in Sydney to take a two-three month vacation at home, or reposition to another ship in the Seabourn fleet.
