Seabourn have built a reputation for a highly personal style of service, with all staff focused on getting to know each guest individually, and on providing a level of service that shows a perfect understanding of their tastes and preferences. You will be recognised, and called by your name, from day one (no, we don't know how they do it!) and the result is that guests frequently tell us how welcomed and nurtured they feel.

Mouth-watering worldwide itineraries mean that once you have been on board your first Seabourn cruise and enjoyed it, you can confidently return time and again, to enjoy the standards you have come to know and love. Itineraries are designed in such a way that short cruises can often be combined to create enticing longer voyages. There are also exceptional adventures on board purpose-built expedition ships Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit, which offer the opportunity to explore remote destinations such as Antarctica, the Arctic, and Australia's Kimberley coast.

All drinks are included in the fare, and this creates a relaxed and sociable environment with something of a celebratory atmosphere, as well as enabling waiters to give prompt and attentive service without awkwardness. During the expedition itineraries shore landings, where you'll be accompanied by a superb team of expert naturalists, scholars and scientists, are all included at no extra cost. Seabourn also offer kayaking excursions in Antarctica, Northern Europe and Alaska as part of their Ventures programme, which enables more active or adventurous guests to explore further off the beaten track.

Dining is stylish, with a range of options in a choice of restaurants, including Japanese cuisine, innovative Mediterranean-style fare and casual poolside and café-style offerings.

When on board Seabourn you really know you are at sea, with spacious verandas for nearly all suites, and lots of deck space looking out over the water. There are also plenty of areas to sit out at night, so in fine weather there is a cosmopolitan al fresco style for those who prefer to enjoy the balmy night air.
