Following a fantastic CLIA Cruise Conference in Southampton – where luxury and expedition took pride of place and we were proud to have our Seabourn president Mark Tamis on stage chatting with Travel Weekly editor Lucy Huxley – it is so exciting to now be in Seabourn’s June Expedition Month, themed around ‘What Makes an Expedition’!


We have so much happening for our travel


partners, including our Tuesday morning expert-led webinars, product information and incentives (you can win a Helly Hansen jacket and more), as well as our partner events on board our ocean ships in various ports around the UK.


In this busy world, it is so important to put time


aside for learning, to take a step back from the day-to-day running of the business and expand one’s knowledge with first-hand ship experiences and in-depth insights from expedition leaders. All of us at Seabourn are always learning something new! Seabourn Academy is a great way to learn in your own time, module by module, while Clia offers valuable insights on selling ultra-luxury and expedition cruise.


Over the coming weeks, you’ll see that we are


elevating Seabourn’s culinary reputation on our ocean ships through immersive experiences and storytelling by showcasing the exceptional talent of our culinary team and the unparalleled dining experiences we offer on board.


Watch out for more!
