Seabourn is a small ship cruise line that is part of the
Carnival Cruise Organization. It promises passengers an intimate
and luxurious alternative to the large ships used by their other
brands like Carnival, Princess and Costa.
Seabourn calls itself the “World’s Best Small Ship Cruise Line”
regularly winning industry accolades, including prestigious Conde
Nast Magazine Awards. Travellers who enjoy staying in boutique and
Five-Star Hotels should enjoy it, as they offer similar experiences
and service.
The small ship size means they visit destinations that large cruise
ships cannot. Like, cruising up the Thames into Central London and
docking at small towns on the Greek Islands.
Passengers tend to be couples over 45, although honeymooners
looking for that special vacation will be found on board. They do
not have extensive child facilities, although in vacation times
they bring resources on-board to entertain children.
It is a good choice for solo travellers both due to size, which
makes it easier to meet and engage with people, and they make a
point of welcoming them. For example, Senior Crew host tables in
the dining room to ensure they will have people to eat with.
