Service

Seabourn Sojourn was scheduled to be named on 4 June at London, then began her maiden voyage at Greenwich on 6 June 2010. The maiden season sailed in Northern Europe, before crossing the Atlantic Ocean and cruising the Caribbean and Panama Canal in the late autumn and winter. In January 2011, Seabourn Sojourn was to begin a 111-day round-the-world cruise from Los Angeles, to Southampton, England.
On 4 November 2019, the ship departed on the company's first ever sailing to Cuba. In total, she took five cruises to this island country.
The ship departed Miami on a World Cruise on 4 January 2020. During a 146-day sailing, Seabourn Sojourn was due to visit 62 ports in 36 countries. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic this was cut short and the ship was due in Hawaii on 18 April to refuel but no passengers or crew were allowed to disembark.
On 4 March 2025, it was announced that Seabourn Sojourn will be sold to Mitsui OSK Lines, joining her sister ship Mitsui Ocean Fuji, the former Seabourn Odyssey. The ship will remain with Seabourn until the completion of its current schedule of sailing in May 2026.
