Save up to 75% on Seabourn cruises
Seabourn began operations in 1987, seeking to immediately make an impact on the ultra-luxury cruise industry. The first ship, the Seabourn Pride, launched in 1988; its sister ship, the Seabourn Spirit, which was identical in size and design, began carrying passengers the following year. After a series of corporate purchases and merges by and with Carnival Corp. and Cunard Line through the 1990s, Seabourn was purchased in whole by Carnival Corp. in 2001. After a separation from Carnival's Cunard Line in 2004, Seabourn began operating independently. After an announcement in 2006 to launch three new ships, the Seabourn Odyssey, Sojourn, and Quest began operating in 2009, 2010, and 2011. Each of these new ships carried 458 passengers. Two 600-passenger ships, Seabourn Encore and Seabourn Ovation, were introduced in 2016 and 2018, respectively. An ultra-luxury expedition cruise ship, the Seabourn Venture, with technology for superior maneuverability to destinations in the Amazon, Antarctica, and Antarctic, is scheduled to be unveiled in late 2021. Seabourn prides itself on hand-selected itineraries that allow you to explore destinations in an intimate, history-learning, or adventurous manner. Kayak, partake in a photo safari, and whale watch in the Alaskan wilderness; take a jet boat excursion on the Shotover River in Queenstown, New Zealand; ride on the back of an elephant in Phuket, Thailand; cruise the canals of the Mekong River Delta in Vietnam; or take an aerial tram through the forest reserve of Saint Lucia. Not feeling adventurous? That's fine: you can visit the Parthenon in Athens, Greece; sail on a whale-watching yacht in Juneau, Alaska; shop street markets in Barcelona; or take in breathtaking art collections in the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. From staff that prides itself on top service that includes remembering guests' names to optional tipping and complimentary spirits and wines onboard at all times, Seabourn has redefined the cruise experience in terms of all-inclusive trips, customer service, and luxury. A journalist's line in 1988 describing the line could easily still apply to Seabourn today: "…quite simply in a class by itself." With cruise line volume buys plus our low everyday prices you can save up to 80% versus the brochure price!
