Seabourn Cruise Line offers high-end luxury cruises on ships that are relatively small by today's standards. Seabourn Odyssey, Seabourn Sojourn, Seabourn Quest, and the line's newest ship--Seabourn Encore--have maximum capacities of 450 guests. A fifth ship in the series, Seabourn Ovation, will enter service in 2018.

All Seabourn 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.

Seabourn's 2018 European season runs from April to November, with cruises in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe. A handful of transatlantic sailings are also on the 2018 cruise calendar.
