On Seabourn Sojourn Pam Conover

Pam Conover is sailing on Seabourn Sojourn’s maiden voyage, which called on Reykavjik, Iceland today. As president & CEO of Seabourn Cruise Line, Pam sent us the following update about her day in Torshavn.

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day in Reykjavik. Fascinating geology. Great experience to stand at the place where the North American plate meets the European plate. The plates only move by one inch a year but you can see the geological formation. Watched the Strokkur geyser spouting every few minutes.

We docked today in Torshavn, Faroe Islands. Beautiful sunny skies. I participated in one of our new In Motion (more active) shore excursions, which was a two-hour hike above the fjords.

Twiggy took her time descending the upper deck stairs to reach the podium on Seabourn Sojourn this past Friday in London, where the iconic 1960’s British model christened Seabourn’s newest vessel on the River Thames.

Indeed elegant, Twiggy exploded onto the international modelling scene as a London teenager in 1966. She went on to define the term ‘supermodel’ and to become the icon of 1960s style worldwide.  Read more... (326 words, estimated 1:18 mins reading time)
