Seabourn has won many awards for their Ultra Luxury Cruise Travel Experience, including: Worlds Best Small Ship Cruise Line, Best Small Ship Cruise Line, Best Cruise Line 1,000 berths, Best Luxury Cruise Line, Gold List and Best Luxury Cruise Line. . I was privileged to visit their private beach club in St Kitts and loved Cavier at the Surf, Seabourns' Signature Event. . Another Seabourn Moment - Seabourn Signature Event is an Evening in Ephesus. Which is a fantastic event. You listen to a concert at an ancient site with UNESCO World Heritage in Turkey. The cruise port is Kusadasi, only 20 minutes from these ancient ruins. This is a commentary event only for Seabourn Guests. . Next, we talked about Ventures by Seabourn in Alaska -where I spent my summer vacation this year, and I loved getting out and exploring Alaska the proper way. Not the commercial way, not shopping, but seeing Alaska by kayak and getting out there with ventures by Seabourn is such a phenomenal experience that is literally life-changing. This program is offered worldwide, including Norway, New Zealand, and The Kimberly, as well as Easter Island, South Pacific Australia, the Amazon, Brazil, and many more destinations. . Travel Weekly named Seabourn the Best Cruise Line in Antarctica. They just did the christening and the inauguration of Seaborn Pursuit. This is the first time that an entire people, an entire tribe, was named the godparent of Seaborn. The tribe is called the Wunambal Gaambera traditional owners. . Expedition ships travel all over the world, not just to the Arctic and cooler clients but everywhere, and you can learn a little more about the history and nature of the areas. . The Seabourn Pursuit Routes are: Guam, Darwin, Broome, Greenland, South Pacific, Sydney, The Northwest Passage, anchorage, gulf of Alaska, Vancouver, Papeete, Greenland Small bar Spitzbergen Ricky Evick Tromso St. John's Oslo Edinburgh, London, Lisbon Barbados, San Antonio, the Amazon Antarctica, Rio de Janeiro, the Falkland Islands, the South Georgia experience Buenos Aires March 25 & April 20, 2025 Departures for: VILLA LUISA & ALHAMBRA Sète, Palamós, Barcelona, Mahón, Lisbon, Portimão, Seville, Motri, Tangier Overnight in Seville April 5, 2025 : MONTE CARLO MASTERS.
