Following its maiden world cruise in early 2012, Seabourn Quest will operate an extended April to November season of voyages exploring the whole expanse of the Mediterranean. Seven-day cruises between Venice, Athens, Istanbul, Rome and Barcelona are combinable into longer voyages with different ports and extra savings.
A trio of longer Holy Land cruises in May, September and November combine ports in Israel with the antiquities of the Turkish Aegean coast, Cyprus, Crete and Rhodes.
Also concentrating on the Mediterranean, Seabourn Odyssey’s seven-day voyages sail east from Venice to Athens and Istanbul, calling on the Greek Isles, Turkey and, on a couple of occasions, venture into the Black Sea. These week-long voyages are also combinable.
The French and Italian rivieras, islands and yacht harbors of the Western Mediterranean are the charts of Seabourn Legend with two different, 10-day itineraries between Rome and Monte Carlo that include overnight stays in Barcelona and Valletta, Malta.
Seabourn Spirit is offering a new 10-day itinerary sailing round-trip from Venice along the Adriatic coast, including Kotor in Montenegro, the Puglia region of Italy, the Dalmatian towns of Dubrovnik and Split in Croatia, plus Rovinj on the northern Istria peninsula. The cruise also includes a marina watersports day in Triluke Bay in high season, and an overnight in Venice.
Summer cruises in Scandinavia, the Baltic and the Norwegian Fjords are the focus of the 450-passenger Seabourn Sojourn and the 208-passenger Seabourn Pride.
Sojourn’s version sails between Copenhagen and Stockholm in seven days, including three full in St. Petersburg’s treasures. Pride’s itineraries are longer, between 12 and 16 days, and add Hanseatic ports such as Riga, Klaipeda and Gdansk, as well as Warnemünde for Berlin and Scandinavian summer resorts Rønne on Bornholm and Mariehamn in the Åland Islands.
Norwegian Fjords cruises on both ships vary from 10 to 16 days, with some including the Arctic Circle and the North Cape.
