Looking at several European itineraries that involve two Radisson ships (Song of Flower and Navigator) and two Seabourn ships (Sun and Pride). I've never cruised on either of these two lines and wanted any feedback on your experiences....my concern about the Pride and the Song of Flower is that maybe they're too small???? Thanks. Tom
Radisson or Seabourn

- 25 Why did pick a certain cruise line?
I have sailed on both the Song of Flower (granted that was 5 years ago) and the Seabourn Sun (two weeks ago). Both are excellent cruise lines and both ships are great. Yes, the Song of Flower is smaller but when I cruised (it was in Asia) I don't recall feeling any more motion than on a larger ship. The Sun is larger but on my recent Mediterranean cruise with 656 passengers on board it never felt crowded, except at the Captain's party. Both ships have single-seating dining, though the Sun does not have open-seating. I don't think you can go wrong choosing either of these ships.
Never been on Seabourn but have friends who love their ships. Just returned from a Costa Rica/Canal trip on Radisson's new Navigator and the ship is beautiful. Most cabins have balconies, alternate Italian restaurant is super as is the food in the main dining room. Cruised in Europe 3 yrs ago on the Radisson Diamond and again the service level is great. Friends sail on the Song of Flower -it's a much older ship but with lots of class. Small is definitely better. Enjoy.
