Seabourn Cruises Cruise Line Profile

Seabourn provides cruising vacations in a unique, yachting style focused on personalized service, all-suite accommodations, superb cuisine and unique experiences in destinations. Consistently rated among the top vacation choices, the line's yachts pamper 208 to 450 guests on voyages of 5 to 14 days or more with complimentary open bars, open-seating dining and value-added extras such as Massage Moments℠ on deck and Caviar in the Surf℠ beach parties. Seabourn is adding two new sisters by 2011, offering more categories of luxury suites, more dining alternatives and the largest spa facilities on any luxury vessel. As with all Seabourn yachts, the service ratio of nearly one staff member per guest and the intimate, sociable atmosphere is the hallmark of the Seabourn yachting lifestyle.

Ships

With their unmatched sense of style, elegance and grace, Seabourn ships beckon you to travel beyond the bounds of the imagination. Aboard Seabourn, every desire is met promptly and with a welcoming smile. Whether it's a warm blanket and a cup of gourmet hot chocolate as you drift along the Norwegian Fjords or a relaxing neck massage poolside, you'll feel that you're a member of a very exclusive club. Step aboard any one of Seabourn's ships - Seabourn Pride, Seabourn Spirit, Seabourn Legend, Seabourn Odyssey, Seabourn Sojourn or Seabourn Quest - and you'll enjoy a sophisticated and luxurious journey like no other. You will feel as though you've been invited to sail on a private yacht.

Destinations

Aboard Seabourn, the world is more intimate and more enchanting. Here, you'll explore ports rarely visited by larger ships and meet people who are happy to show you around their hidden corner of the globe. Destinations include: Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, Hawaii, New Zealand, the Panama Canal, South America and more!

Accommodations

Measuring an ample 277 square feet or more, your Seabourn suite is an ideal haven. The sea is always in view, framed by the expanse of a five-foot picture window or the doors of your balcony. Fine Egyptian cotton linens, a fluffy duvet and king-sized down and feather pillows encourage the indulgence of afternoon naps.

Sunshine enters your suite each day in the form of your personal suite stewardess. Whether she draws the warm, scented bath of your choice from our Pure Pampering℠ menu or surprises you at night with a sprinkling of rose petals on your bed, she helps make your wishes come true.

Everything you could ever want and more is here. From the complimentary in-suite bar stocked daily with your personal favorites to the flat screen TVs and stereo systems, nothing is overlooked.

Dining

As satisfying as the most extraordinary dining experiences ashore, the restaurants aboard all Seabourn yachts feature an elegant open seating arrangement for breakfast, lunch and dinner. At lunch and dinner, enjoy complimentary wines from California, France, Chile or Italy that are selected to enhance the menus of the day. The wine steward will provide a list of premium vintages that are also available at an additional charge.

Complimentary room service is available 24 hours a day. Course-by-course dining is also available in your suite during dinner hours from the restaurant menu.

Perhaps that's why Seabourn has been honored with the prestigious International Five Star Diamond Award for the last 13 years and was ranked Top Cruise Line Food in Conde Nast Traveler's 2007 Reader's Poll.

Seabourn Yachting Life℠ offers you a choice of up to five dining venues. Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner in one of our traditional restaurants. Dine on deck in one of our al fresco eateries, or at your request, you can have dinner from the restaurant served course-by-course in your suite, complete with white linens, fine china and silver service.

Don't miss special culinary events like Shopping with the Chef at local markets in select ports around the world. Learn from the masters of the Chefs Circle℠ as guest chefs from well-known restaurants share their culinary secrets. Enjoy tempting treats and rare estate teas, compliments of our popular Seabourn to a Tea℠, complete with white glove service and relaxing, live music.

Onboard Activities & Entertainment

Seabourn Yachting Life℠ is unlike anything you've known before. There are no crowds. No lines. And no schedules to keep. You determine the pace of your day. Be as active or as leisurely as you wish.

When you're ready for a little action, challenge other guests to a game of bridge, take a cooking lesson from the chef or show off your short game in the golf putting competition. If you need to check in with family and friends, use our yacht-wide WiFi and cell phone service.

Depending on the port of call and the weather, you can opt to go water skiing in a secluded bay right from our onboard marina, explore rarely visited estuaries aboard a sea kayak or enjoy Caviar in the Surf℠, delivered along with champagne by a uniformed steward on a surfboard bar.

Want a massage and steam bath in an exotic Turkish hamam? Or a private tasting at a family owned winery in the Provencal countryside? The Yachts of Seabourn's Signature Service Desk℠ is here to help.
