ELEGANT TRAVELLER

Seabourn Blogs

Founded in 1987 by Norwegian industrialist Atle Brynestadv and now owned by Carnival, Seabourn’s ships, with their sleek, yacht-like profiles, are small enough to feel exclusive, yet big enough to offer most of the facilities of a larger ship. The experience is luxurious yet relaxed, elegant yet casual, sumptuous yet understated. Seabourn's impressive fleet of stunning ships will take you to the most intriguing destinations worldwide, sailing to the heart of landmark cities and to the hidden gems the larger ships cannot reach.

It is this perfect blend of impeccable service, exquisite cuisine and bespoke destination experiences which have earned Seabourn some of the most coveted awards in travel, as voted by experts and cruise travellers. Dress is informal by day and elegant by night, but never overtly formal, unless through personal choice at one of the occasional ‘black tie’ candlelit dinners. Time is unstructured - announcements, pool games and contests are conspicuous by their absence - and entertainment predominantly centres around good food, good company and good conversation, much like a private members’ club on the high seas. Seabourn cruises are all-inclusive, which means that almost everything on-board is included in the price (from your drinks to gratuities), so you don’t have to worry. Each cruise will host one or two very special events during your voyage; a unique concert in an unusual location, perhaps, or a visit to a private island or sporting event. And once ashore, Seabourn continue to provide extraordinary excursions - a horse-drawn carriage for two with flowers and Champagne in Paris, perhaps? Or a private wine-tasting at a family-owned winery in the Provencale countryside? Seabourn will do everything in their power to provide the perfect holiday.
