Seabourn has unveiled an exciting 2013 Europe season featuring more than 100 departures aboard its six intimate, all-suite ships, visiting many of Europe’s captivating cities and hidden gems from April through October next year. From the sun-blessed resorts on the Mediterranean coast to the shining polar ice pack in the Arctic Ocean, the line’s award-winning ships will carry travelers to more than 180 ports on voyages ranging from seven to 21 days in length

From a rescue at sea to experiencing exceptional service by staff to meeting new friends and reconnecting with old ones, these were just some of the hundreds of stories Seabourn received in its “Seabourn Moments” contest on Facebook

Responding to a growing volume of travel agencies selling its ultra luxury cruises to upscale Australian travelers, Seabourn has created a dedicated team of sales and reservations specialists in Sydney, enabling them to better provide Australians the sort of individualized attention that has made the company’s name an icon of exceptional service.

As the sun set over the waterfront of this Spanish Mediterranean city, Seabourn introduced the new 450-guest Seabourn Quest to the world on June 20th during a glittering naming ceremony presided over by Blythe Danner.
