SEABOURN Find your Seabourn moment

Founded in 1986, Seabourn have been around the world and back again countless times on both luxury ocean and expedition cruises. A gorgeous fleet of seven ocean ships, with a capacity of up to just 600 guests, visits off-thebeaten-track ports that larger ships can’t get to. They’re also the official cruise line partner of UNESCO World Heritage, featuring over 150 sites on their itineraries. From the rugged beauty of Alaska to the vibrant landscapes of America; the rich cultures of Africa to the mystique of Asia—Seabourn goes there, wherever there is.

Cruising on a Seabourn ship is unlike any other form of travel—luxurious, yet relaxed; elegant, yet casual; sumptuous, yet understated. It’s not stuffy, it’s not up itself—it’s Seabourn; relaxing, intimate and friendly but still ultra luxurious. Each ship is a work of art offering one of the highest space-per-guest ratios in the industry and guest to staff ratio is almost 1-to-1. So indulge yourself. Ships feature several dining options, including a brand-new restaurant. Solis showcases a vibrant, chic atmosphere and an exclusive Mediterranean menu; everything is included and the service is second-to-none.

WE’VE BEEN ON BOARD

After finishing our meal, we headed to the club where they were hosting an 80s night—my kind of music. The atmosphere was lively, with everyone up and dancing. While I’m more of a sit-downand-sing type, I thoroughly enjoyed the vibe. I ordered a glass of champagne and settled in to enjoy the music while singing along. Then, one of my favourite songs, “At Last” by Etta James, started playing and partners slowly made their way to the stage for a slow dance, creating a beautiful scene. Watching them, I observed a different kind of love that I had never seen before. A Seabourn Moment, and a particularly beautiful one at that.

WHY CHOOSE SEABOURN?

Seabourn attracts discerning travellers who want to see the world, tended by extraordinarily-personalised service; people who appreciate a sophisticated, intimate and indulgent cruising experience. You’ll enjoy a relaxed onboard ambience in elegant surroundings. A relaxed dress code in the day is a contrast to dressing smarter in the evenings, enjoying one of several fine-dining venues on board these beautiful ships with like-minded cruisers. This cruise line caters to an audience seeking refined indulgence, with many guests being well-travelled and seeking the highest standards in hospitality.

Seabourn’s itineraries often attract individuals with a penchant for cultural exploration, as the cruise line prioritises unique and immersive shore excursions, probably owing to the existence of their sister cruise line Seabourn Expeditions.
