Seabourn Cruise Line (based in Miami, Florida), was founded in 1987 by a group of Norwegian investors, including industrialist Atle Brynestad, whose aim was to build the most luxurious yacht-like cruise ships ever constructed. Its first ultra-luxury ship, the all-suite 10,000-ton, 208-guest Seabourn Pride made her debut in November 1988, to be followed a year later by sister ship, Seabourn Spirit. In 1996, a third identical sister ship was purchased from Royal Cruise Line. Built from the same plans, at the same shipyard as her twin sisters, Seabourn Legend, which began her life as Royal Viking Queen and later sailed as Queen Odyssey for Royal Cruise Line( Royal Viking and Royal Cruise Line were both Kloster owned lines). Seabourn's newest generation of ships Seabourn Odyssey(2009) and Seabourn Soujourn(2010) take Seabourn's style of inclusive luxury cruising to a whole new level. Even more spacious and accommodating, these ships offer unrivaled luxury accomodations, a multitude of fine dining options taking Seabourn's legendary level of attentitive personal service to all new heights. more

Featured Destination: Alaska - Cruise and Land
People go to Alaska to see four things: Wilderness, Wildlife, Glaciers, and Mountains. An Alaska Cruise and Land Tour (Cruisetour) is the best way to see all this and more. Cruisetours combine the best of both worlds: a relaxing cruise experience and an adventurous land tour taking you into the heart of Alaska by train and/or motorcoach. Alaska is 2 ¿ times the size of Texas and a cruise just touches only a small fraction of all there is to see. A cruisetour takes you into the heart and interior of Alaska allowing you to see the Wildlife, Wilderness, and Mountains up close. Cruisetours range from 9 to 21 nights depending upon how long you'd like to be away and what you'd like to see. You can choose to take a Northbound cruise first and then begin your land tour, or you can do the land portion first and then the cruise at the end. Either way, there's an itinerary for every interest and budget. more |
