The elegant and Intimate

 

MV Seabourn Pride, Spirit & Legend

 

The elegant and superbly sleek MV Seabourn Pride

Cruise & Travel Agents have named Seabourn as …

“Simply the Best”

Top Cruise/Travel Agents in Australia and New Zealand and around the World are “…virtually unanimous in their praise of these intimate 9,975-ton Seabourn sister ships, MV Seabourn Legend, Pride and Spirit for each of them offer that unique Seabourn Experience.” Each accommodates just 208 guests in the most magnificent accommodations available on a ship.

A passenger who sailed on Seabourn Pride recently said of their experience;

“Everything about this ship was simply the best I have ever experienced, and we have been on 12 cruises with various companies. The Seabourn staff simply could not do enough for you. We have sailed on most of the smaller luxury ships, but I feel that Seabourn yachts are by far superior.”

Surveys completed by guests whilst they are on board reflects their growing satisfaction with their cruise experience on the Seabourn ships. The results, we are told, range from 9.51, to 9.75 out of 10. Very few ships can match this!

The yachts of Seabourn provide the ultimate in small-ship, ultra-luxury cruise vacations to the most desirable destinations on earth. Seabourn Cruise Line is a member of the exclusive World’s Leading Cruise Lines alliance, which includes Carnival PLC and some of the most famous companies such as Cunard Line, Holland America Line, P&O UK just to mention a few. Together, these member lines share a commitment to quality and value, offering cruise vacations that appeal to a wide range of lifestyles and budgets and sail to some of the world’s most exciting destinations. 

Seabourn Pride now based in Asia

MV Seabourn Pride has recently received a multi-million dollar refurbishment and she now operates a year-round schedule of cruises in Asia. She has a fresh new stylish look and received many modern upgrades with new carpeting and furnishings throughout the ship.

Seabourn President and CEO Pamela Conover stated in an interview; “The Pride is polished and stunning, and ready to impress her guests in the Far East,” She also said, “The Pride cruises in Vietnam, Thailand, China, Korea and Japan are designed for travellers who have been to Europe and want to cruise in new and exotic destinations. They offer authentic travel experiences filled with enriching and lasting memories, but in relaxed, elegant Seabourn style.”

Seabourn Pride in Asia

The intimate, all-suite Seabourn Spirit is deployed in Asia to operate a variety of new itineraries combining visits to popular cities with new ports of call, such as Dalian, China; Busan and Yeosu, Korea; Nagasaki and Kagoshima in Japan. The schedule also includes the line's first summer voyages in Vietnam and Thailand, which are typically featured in the Pride’s winter itineraries, as well as direct sailings between the People's Republic of China and Taiwan, another first for Seabourn Yachts. A selection of escorted pre and post-cruise land options are also available for guests who wish to extend their Asian vacations. 

MV Seabourn Legend 

Seabourn Spirit and Seabourn Legend

As soon as you board any of the three intimate Seabourn yachts be assured that you will feel like a welcomed guest. The staff on board are all professionally trained, and you will discover that there is more than one staff member per suite, who will not only know you by name, but very soon will know all your personal preferences as well!

The days and nights on the Seabourn Pride, Seabourn Spirit and Seabourn Legend is carefree and ultra luxurious. Personalized service is a way of life, for you will never lift a finger while you’re a guest on a Seabourn ship, unless it’s to signal a waiter for another bottle of vintage Bordeaux from the fully stocked wine cellar.

The Seabourn Spirit and Seabourn Legend have a vast variety of itineraries that are worth discovering and I suggest that you visit your travel agent or the Seabourn Yachts website.
