My husband and I sailed aboard Orion a year before the ship was sold to Regent. We sailed the Borneo itinerary. The cruise was fabulous...excellent naturalists and guides, terrific guest lecturers, wonderful fellow travelers. Seeing orangutans up close was an amazing experience.
The cabins were comfortable but there were a few minor issues... the air-conditioning in the dining room was not powerful enough but I believe the ship was dry-docked before moving over to Lindblad. Those issues have probably been corrected.
The ship reminded me of a new, perhaps larger version of SeaDream's yachts.
We wouldn't hesitate to sail on Orion again.
