When Seabourn’s first ship set sail in 1988 it set a new standard in luxury cruising, providing every guest with an expansive ocean-view suite, open-seating dining, all-inclusive fares and an unparalleled level of personal service.
Today these standards remain the same. Seabourn’s fleet is one of the youngest and most modern in the industry. Its intimate ships have the feel and facilities of a private club, with one of the highest space per guest ratios of any luxury cruise line. It’s also the official cruise partner of UNESCO World Heritage; its carefully curated voyages visit all seven continents, frequently calling at iconic UNESCO sites as well as marquee ports and heavenly hidden harbours beyond the reach of larger ships.
From the moment you step aboard you’ll be treated as part of an exclusive circle. For one, this is truly all-inclusive. Champagne greets guests on arrival, in-suite bars are pre-stocked with your preferences, premium spirits and fine wines are available on board at all times, and tipping is neither expected nor required. Gourmet, open-seating dining rivals the world’s finest restaurants and is further enhanced through a culinary partnership with chef Thomas Keller, whose restaurants Per Se and The French Laundry hold three Michelin stars each. Experts in different fields not only give lectures but participate in daily life, sharing meals, adventures ashore and casual chats throughout the voyage. While the new Mindful Living programmes from Dr Andrew Weil are the first of their kind at sea, combining holistic medicine, meditation and yoga to provide physical, social and spiritual wellbeing.
Seabourn’s fleet offers nothing but ocean-front suites. All suites are luxuriously appointed and feature walk-in closets, elegant living areas with a sofa and dining table, and beautifully designed marble bathrooms with double vanities and Molton Brown toiletries. Every suite aboard Seabourn Encore and Seabourn Ovation has a private veranda, as do 90% of those aboard Seabourn Sojourn and Seabourn Quest. Each suite also includes a Personal Suite Steward, dedicated to ensuring everything is always exactly as you wish. Not only will they welcome you with champagne and canapes, they’ll personalise your nightly turndown service, manage your laundry, replenish your free bar and help you with anything from arranging an in-suite cocktail party to drawing you a pampering bubble bath. Their skilled, thoughtful care will likely be one of your fondest memories of your voyage.
