The Seabourn Sojourn seems to be a ship that's always in Helsinki. From myobservation of cruise ship movements in Helsinki, there are two kinds of cruise ships that follow very regular, rigid patterns: on one hand there are the mass-market mega cruise ships of lines like NCL or Celebrity Cruises, but on the other hand ultra-luxe ships of lines like Seabourn or Compagnie du Ponant seem to follow a similar pattern.
Also, the Seabourn Sojourn still strongly reminds me of the old Finnish-market cruise ship Sally Albatross (today sailing as Louis Cruises' Louis Cristal).
The photographs below show the Seabourn Sojourn sailing through the Kustaanmiekka strait after departing Helsinki on the afternoon of 25 July 2012. Click on the images to see them in larger size.

| Chic ship, I have to admit. Although, looking at the lack of windows, I wonder where all the public rooms are... |
 |
| Le dynamique. Okay, I admit that would better fit a Le Ponant ship. Which are more stylish anyway. |

| Nice reflecting sunlight on the funnel. |
