Seabourn Cruises

Imagine slipping your hand into a silk-lined glove. If the fit is right, you will feel sublimely comfortable. Choosing the perfect cruise ship can be like this. When the essential elements of quality, size and style come together in a way that recognizes your individuality, you will feel as if you're on top of the world. In reality, you will be floating serenely at sea level. With sumptuously appointed all suite accommodations; impeccable, personalised service; exquisite attention to detail and unparalleled access to the most desirable ports of call, Seabourn masterfully redefines cruising. Each of the line's sleek maneuverable yachts carries a smaller number of fortunate guests then many other cruiselines amd they are all attended by nearly the same number of crew. Ports are a mix of the most popular destinations and secluded Seabourn secrets, yacht harbours and idyllic coves where larger ships cannot follow. No matter what corner of the world attracts travellers: the French and Italian Rivieras, the Greek Islands and Turkey, the chic resort isles of the Caribbean, the exotic allure of Thailand and Vietnam or the exciting outposts of the South Pacific, Africa and the Arabian Sea, you can choose to travel there in ultra luxurious Seabourn style.

The Seabourn Fleet

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 their 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. Three of the ships carry just 208 privileged travelers to some of the most desirable destinations on earth in consummate comfort and sophisticated ease. Seabourn Odyssey, Seabourn Sojourn and Seabourn Quest accommodate 450 guests, with the same personal feel and relaxed ambiance of their sisters, Seabourn Pride, Seabourn Spirit and Seabourn Legend.

Perhaps best of all, each ship offers all-suite accommodations, Seabourn’s signature water sports Marina, an open-bar policy serving premium wine, champagne and spirits, and menus by renowned celebrity chef, Charlie Palmer.

Dining Onboard

Some of life's most cherished moments occur around the table, and every meal with Seabourn is another opportunity to celebrate. Seabourn’s award-winning cuisine starts with the finest quality ingredients, infused with authentic regional flavors, prepared á la minute by our skilled chefs and served with pride. Each Seabourn ship offers a choice of dining venues to suit your mood of the moment, and nearly all are open-seating, inviting you to dine where, when and with whom you wish. Choose the sophisticated fine dining ambiance of The Restaurant. Enjoy a more casual indoor/outdoor venue, or savor the view and a perfectly grilled steak under the stars on deck. Restaurant 2 provides innovative, small-plates tasting menus for a delightful change of pace. Complimentary fine wines are poured with lunch and dinner, and there is never an extra charge for any dining choice. You can even enjoy a meal in your suite or on your veranda, with our compliments.

Seabourn is a proud member of Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, one of the world’s most prestigious gastronomic societies devoted to the art of fine dining.

Seabourn Service

From the moment you first step aboard Seabourn, you'll be part of an exclusive circle, the privileged few, who have discovered the true joys of yachting.
Aboard one of our intimate ships, you will feel like a welcomed guest. The captain and officers seem like old friends. Everyone on the professionally trained staff – more than one per suite – not only knows you by name, but knows your personal preferences as well. The days and nights are carefree and ultra luxurious. Personalized service is a way of life. Never lift a finger while you’re a guest of ours, unless it’s to signal a waiter for another bottle of vintage Bordeaux from the fully stocked wine cellar. Aboard Seabourn, your dreams will come true. Our fervent dedication to exceeding your desires follows you ashore. We shun the ordinary when it comes to experiences in the off-the-beaten path destinations of our ships. Want to take a breathtaking journey by hot air balloon over the soaring rock formations and narrow canyons of Cappadocia, Turkey? We’ll attend to all the details. Planning a romantic evening for two in Paris? We’ll arrange for a horse drawn carriage and fill it with flowers, champagne and hand dipped Belgian chocolates. Call ahead and let us help you plan your special day.

The Seabourn Experience is whatever you want it to be and so much more.

Seabourn Pride

The ship that started it all inspired one critic to declare that “Seabourn is in a class by itself.” And in 1988, when the sleek, 10,000-ton Pride emerged from the Schichau Seebeckwerft shipyard in Bremerhaven, Germany, that was literally true. At that time, most ships of Pride’s size (and there were more then than now) carried more than 400 guests. Seabourn Pride, christened by Ambassador Shirley Temple Black, topped out at half that many. The idea that every guest sailed in an expansive, ocean-view suite was revolutionary. The concept of open-seating dining accommodating all guests was exceptional. And the notion of including nearly everything for the cost of the fare was a rare thing as well. But the most important element of the Seabourn experience, to founding president Warren S. Titus, was the unparalleled level of personalized service provided to guests. Hand-picked staff, recruited from the finest European hospitality schools and hostelries, are re-trained and managed according to the philosophy that every request is a golden opportunity to create delight, that the unexpected pleasure is what truly makes an experience memorable, and that the rendering of the very best service is a product of professional pride, not influenced by the expectation of a gratuity. That remains a core value of all Seabourn ships today. By a trick of history, Seabourn Pride and its sisters remain as exceptional today as they were when launched – in a class by themselves.
