Seabourn 2006-2007 Catalogue Now Available

MIAMI, June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Seabourn Cruise Line has published a new, 104-page catalogue outlining an impressive 16-month schedule of 134 cruises for its three intimate, all-suite Yachts of Seabourn. The ultra luxury ships will visit 257 ports in 73 countries during the period from December, 2005 through April, 2007. Destination highlights include a new series of 12-day Baltic cruises round trip from Copenhagen, the return of the popular Fiji/New Zealand sailings and an array of new ports of call from Libya to China. The catalogue may be ordered from the line's website at http://www.seabourn.com/ .

Quotes from Seabourn guests, utilized as headlines on page after page, are a key element of the catalogue's handsome design. They serve to communicate the attentive, sincere and personalized service which is the line's premier hallmark.

"Our yachts sail to the most desirable destinations on earth," said Seabourn president Deborah L. Natansohn. "Our suites are large and comfortable, the cuisine is superb and the ships are lovely," she continued. "But it is our staff, the fact that there are 160 of them serving a maximum of 208 guests, and their almost clairvoyant ability to surprise and delight our guests that truly makes a Seabourn cruise unbeatable."

Flexibility, Value

Approximately 57 percent of Seabourn's 2006-07 cruise schedule is offered in lengths of seven or eight days' duration. The bulk of those are designed to be combinable for up to six weeks of cruising with different port content. This creates an appealing combination of accessibility for travelers who want shorter ultra luxury cruises, with flexibility for those who prefer to stay aboard longer. Early Booking Savings of up to 50 percent vary by cruise and are published in the catalogue. Combining two or more consecutive cruises earns an extra 10 percent savings off the EBS fares. Longer combinations of 18 or more days qualify for Grand Voyage Savings of 50 percent or more off brochure fares.

Refurbishments For 2006

All three Yachts of Seabourn will undergo drydock maintenance and interior refurbishments by January, 2006. Planned upgrades include the installation of DVD players and flat-screen televisions in all guest suites and improvements in the popular indoor/outdoor Veranda Cafe alternative dining venues.

Seabourn has been honored on every one of Conde Nast Traveler magazine's annual Gold Lists and placed at the top of the luxury cruise category by readers of such prestigious magazines as Departures, published exclusively for American Express Platinum and Centurion Card members; the United Kingdom newspaper The Telegraph and the annual Travel Star survey of Swiss travel agencies.

In 2005, 2006 and 2007, The Yachts of Seabourn sail cruises of five to 18 days or longer on award-winning itineraries worldwide. With Early Booking Savings of up to 50 percent, cruise-only fares start from $1,975 per person, based on double occupancy.
