The Seabourn company of the US group Carnival Corporation sold the cruise ship Seabourn Sojourn to the Mitsui Ocean Cruises of the Japanese group Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL). The divestment agreement provides for Seabourn to charter the vessel from Mitsui Ocean Cruises and continue to operate it until completion of its world cruise scheduled for May 15, 2026, the date after the which the Seabourn Sojourn will be delivered to the Japanese company that will use it in a market where it is not in competition with Seabourn.

By March 2023, Seabourn had already sold a ship to the MOL group: it was the Seabourn Odyssey that Mitsui Ocean Cruises began operations last December with the Name: Mitsui Ocean Fuji ( of 16 March 2023).

Mitsui Ocean Cruises has announced that the Seabourn Sojourn, of 32,477 gross tonnage and the capacity of 458 passengers, which is the sister ship of the Seabourn Odyssey and was built in 2010, will be used in short and medium-length cruises off the coast of Japan.
