Meet our partners: Seabourn Cruise Line

Since its establishment in 1986, Seabourn has operated under the ethos of ‘traveling for pleasure has a redemptive power that enriches people’s lives’ – and that people should travel well. True to form, Seabourn designs ships unlike any other form of travel, providing experiences beyond the expected in places beyond the ordinary. Heartfelt, sincere, and personal hospitality lies at the heart of Seabourn’s offerings. Its intimate, all-suite ships venture to incredible destinations during their peak seasons. And its ships are small enough to sail to the hidden gems that larger vessels can’t.

Committed to remaining at the forefront of the ultra-luxury travel segment, Seabourn has been raising the bar high since its inception. In 2009, the Seabourn Odyssey was unveiled. While larger than its sisters, the Odyssey carries just 458 guests and boasts the highest ratio of space per guest in the cruise industry, not to mention private verandas in almost all suites plus facilities that include the largest spa of any luxury cruise ship. Odyssey’s sisters, the Sojourn and the Quest, were unleashed in 2010 and 2011, respectively. In 2016, Seabourn unveiled the Seabourn Encore, the brand’s first 600-passenger ship, followed by the release of another 600-passenger ship, the Ovation, in 2018. This expanded fleet means you can now venture just about anywhere in the world with Seabourn, all the while enjoying the ultimate in elegant luxury.

Seabourn’s fleet of ships has been masterfully designed by Tihany Design, an iconic hospitality atelier. Intimate, elegant, and understated, Seabourn ships boast a private yacht-like atmosphere, award-winning experiences, and personalized service. All guest rooms take the form of ocean-front suites, most with private verandas. And just as impressive as the luxuriously appointed rooms are the wealth of premium facilities.

During your trip, you can enjoy a range of complimentary spirits and fine wines, and your in-suite bar will also be stocked with complimentary treats and Champagne. Also complementary during your expedition are world-class dining venues, treats such as caviar, live entertainment, Wi-Fi, and Signature Events such as Shopping with the Chef, Polar Plunge, and Marina Day. Optional experiences include onboard spa and wellness facilities by Dr. Andrew Weil, shore excursions, 6-guest submarine expeditions, and much more.

Seabourn is one of the major brands of parent company Carnival Corporation & plc, which places diversity, equality, and inclusion at the forefront of all its operations, from its people and customers to its ports of call. This commitment is reflected by Carnival Corporation & plc’s consistently perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Corporate Equality Index (CEI). The HRC is the USA’s largest and most recognizable civil rights organizations that works to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender equality by educating the public about LGBTQ+ issues, mobilizing grassroots actions, and investing strategically to elect fair-minded individuals to office.

One of Seabourn’s most popular journeys takes you to the lesser-known hotspots and iconic gems of the Mediterranean, from the sun-kissed beaches of the Greek Islands to the architectural wonders of ancient Rome. During the trip, you’ll have the chance to make your own authentic pizza in Sicily, top up your tan on Saint Tropez, kayak along Corsica’s coastline, and much more. You’ll also have more than enough to keep you entertained onboard your ship, including al fresco eateries, fine diners, and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean coast.

Prefer exploring fjords and lochs to sun-drenched sandy strips? Seabourn’s trips to Northern Europe provide you the opportunity to visit fjords, lochs, iconic museums, picturesque coastal villages, and untouched islands in places like Scotland, Iceland, and Norway. With a choice of nine itineraries, Seabourn’s trips to Northern Europe have something for everyone.

If you want to explore mile-long glaciers and dramatic mountain peaks while searching for wildlife such as eagles, bears, ravens, and salmon, consider booking a journey with Seabourn to Alaska. Activities on this trip range from forest kayaking to catamaran tours in the Misty Fjords. You’ll also discover the highlights of the Glacier Bay National Park.

On top of those awe-inspiring journeys are Seabourn’s Expeditions, which give you the chance to discover remote, unique, and hard-to-access places like the Amazon, the Arctic, and Antarctica.
