Customer Profile:

"Seabourn satisfies an affluent, well-traveled clientele who want the “best of the best” and seek “trophy experiences” in exceptional destinations. Ideal prospects may be frequent guests at exclusive hotels, restaurants, resorts, and upscale tours, who have not considered a cruise vacation because they are unaware of Seabourn’s intimate, ultra-luxury alternative cruising style."

About Seabourn Cruises:

Sailing with Seabourn Cruises is like a luxury hotel stay at sea: with a staff-to-guest ratio of almost 1-to-1, the emphasis is on service, including such innovations as personal shoppers who guide guests on shore excursions via private car, and a personal valet service to shepherd your luggage from home to ship and back again.

All-suite accommodations make Seabourn stand out among cruise lines; guests also can expect high-end, brand-name amenities, from menus designed by celebrity chef Charlie Palmer to bath items from Moutton Brown, Hermes, and L'Occitane.

Seabourn's original fleet of smaller, 208-passenger ships (the line is marketed as the Yachts of Seabourn) has been enhanced in recent years with the addition of larger vessels, which also offer all-suites accommodations, 90% with balconies. The new Odyssey and Sojurn also have multiple restaurants and bars, plus 11,400-square-foot indoor/outdoor spa facilities, billed as the largest on any luxury cruise ship.
