Seabourn Venture
moments with... Lynn
We’d firstly like to thank you, our travel partners, for what is proving to be a very successful wave season for Seabourn. So good in fact, we’ve extended our ‘Sail of the Year’ campaign by an extra two weeks, meaning that your clients can still enjoy up to 25% savings on selected cruises – before prices increase on March 13!
Luxury brands have to evolve in order to succeed and
attract new audiences. Over the past two years we’ve introduced two beautiful ultra-luxury expedition ships, which voyage to the Polar regions and to warm-weather destinations including Australia’s Kimberley. Our new Solis alternative restaurant is now on four ocean ships, serving light, bright and authentic Mediterranean cuisine to suit all palates. We’ve rolled out SpaceX’s Starlink satellite technology across our entire fleet of ships. And we’re thrilled to have surpassed 100,000 followers on Instagram!
Now we are introducing ‘The Collection’, a series of special sailings on board Seabourn Venture during March and April 2025 with extraordinary onshore events that complement the unparalleled experiences found on our ultra-luxury ships. Guests may choose from two 7- or 8-day ‘Mediterranean Marvels & Matches’ sailings between Barcelona and Rome with an overnight stay and tickets to the Monte Carlo Masters and Barcelona Open Tennis Tournaments. Culture enthusiasts may prefer one of two ‘Andalusian Nights’ 10-day sailings between Barcelona and Lisbon with an overnight in Seville and exclusive shoreside event, while wine connoisseurs may enjoy an 8-day ‘Vineyard Vista’ sailing from Lisbon with an overnight in Bordeaux and an exclusive shoreside event.
The Collection is now open for sale!
