69 telescopes that encourage discovery from the comfort of the ship. There are thoughtfully curated bookshelves, art and accessories that paint the picture of an explorer’s private home, outfitted with mementos and discoveries from past voyages.” The space also features wood-backed scalloped banquettes and lounge chairs from the Tihany Product Design Venture collection, live edge wood coffee and side tables and riveted leather wall panels that enwrap the room and echo the handcrafted design details of the furniture. The overlapping circular patterned ceiling adds dimension to the space and is based on the symmetrical composition of a compass. Despite Seabourn Pursuit and Seabourn Venture being sisters, there are differences between the two ships. The biggest being in the onboard art collections. “Art plays an important role in defining Seabourn Pursuit’s character,” says Genova. “Hundreds of pieces throughout the vessel weave a remarkable and seamless storyline supporting the design philosophy.” French-based art consultancy firm Atelier 27 curated the artwork onboard Seabourn Venture whilst London-based art firm Double Decker curated the artwork onboard Seabourn Pursuit. “The outcome of Pursuit is quite different to Venture; it is much more colourful and has a modern attitude,” says Genova. Like the artwork, Tihany Design placed careful thought into how the different spaces of the ship would tie together. “The integration of light and space is evident in venues intended to encourage respite,” says Genova. “We also considered how different areas work together to optimise passenger flow, another way to ensure a sense of ease in every corner of the vessel. Guests are incredibly familiar with the ship, enjoying the different areas as they relish knowledge, enrichment, privacy and social moments.” The suites will further encourage relaxation. They range from the approximately 33-square-metre Veranda suite to the 97-square-metre Wintergarden suite. According to Tihany’s design brief: “The suite collection is defined by comfortable, thoughtfully crafted furniture, enticing, tactile materials and bespoke details that capture timeless luxury travel in a contemporary and engaging environment designed to elevate every aspect of the experience.” “ Thoughtfully curated bookshelves, art and accessories paint the picture of an explorer’s home, outfitted with mementos from past voyages” The Expedition Lounge onboard Seabourn Pursuit provides a comforting ambience for guests
