Seabourn's European cruising season runs from March until the end of October, with dozens of short and long itineraries in the Mediterranean, Western Europe, and Northern Europe. A dozen transatlantic crossings are also on Seabourn's 2009 calendar. A new ship in 2009: The 450-passenger Seabourn Odyssey is due to join the fleet in late June. It will be the first Seabourn vessel to offer private verandas, and it will cruise in the Mediterranean until October 3, when a repositioning cruise will take the new ship from Venice to Fort Lauderdale.

Seabourn Cruise Line
offers high-end luxury cruises on the Seabourn Pride, Spirit, and
Legend, which are marketed as "The Yachts of Seabourn." The 10,000-ton
vessels carry 208 passengers each, making them unusually intimate by today's
cruise-ship standards.
All cabins are called "suites" and feature such amenities
as walk-in closets, Bose stereos, stocked bars, and optional WiFi Internet
access (which is available throughout the ship). Wines,
spirits, and other drinks are included in Seabourn's cruise fares, and tipping
is not required or expected.
