Eastern Caribbean and Transatlantic with Seabourn Ovation

Seabourn Cruise Line was founded in Norway in 1986 with the "Seabourn Pride" entering service in 1988. Today, the cruise line is part of the Carnival Corporation and is - without a doubt - their most luxurious and prestigious brand. Seabourn stands for absolute perfection in service, great individuality due to the very small ships and modern, casual luxury.

Seabourn Cruise Line has introduced "Operation Oceans Alive". This is a programme to protect the ocean and involves greatly reducing plastic on board every Seabourn ship. The company is also constantly looking at ways to reduce food waste.

All suites on board have a sea view. Each of the exclusive suites has a separate sleeping and living area, as well as a spacious, elegant bathroom. The suites offer plenty of space and luxurious furnishings. From fine Egyptian cotton bed linen and down pillows to a selection of on-demand films and videos, nothing is left to be desired.

At Seabourn you can expect luxury in perfection - yet the atmosphere is relaxed and informal. During the day, you dress in sporty, elegant clothes to suit the weather. The age of the guests is mixed, but predominantly over 50. There are generally no children on board and the ships tend to be quiet. English is spoken on board due to the international clientele. Some trips are accompanied by German tour guides.

Enjoy the finest dishes and culinary specialities in one of the restaurants on board the Seabourn Ovation or have them served in your suite.

All restaurants are included in the price: 

• The Restaurant (main restaurant): Look forward to international delicacies and very good service.
• The Colonnade (buffet restaurant): Enjoy fresh food from the buffet or with table service in a casual atmosphere and experience special theme nights.
• The Patio (outdoor restaurant): Whether it's salads, grilled specialities or freshly baked pizza - there's something for everyone here.
• Sushi restaurant: The menu includes sushi, sashimi, maki rolls and caviar.
• Solis: The restaurant offers a varied menu with local specialities (depending on the destination).

In addition to the restaurants, there are also numerous bars and lounges. With the exception of some high-calibre spirits and wines, all drinks are already included in the price of the trip. In the elegant Coffee Bar, for example, you can choose from some of the best coffee beans in the world and select your favourite brewing and serving style. Round off the day with a delicious cocktail in the Sky Bar. We also recommend the Observation Bar, which offers breathtaking panoramic views and live music.

As a guest on board of the Seabourn Ovation you will have many different possibilities to enjoy yourself and have a good time. Enjoy the fantastic view in the Observation Bar, let yourself be impressed by the diversified entertainment program and first class shows or try your luck at Bridge in the Card Room. If you are looking for relaxation, a range of facials and different treatments, then the Spa area is the right address for you! You prefer it a bit more active? The modern fitness area offers everything you need to properly workout.

There is no special programme for children on board. There are no special playrooms, so children have to occupy themselves independently. For this reason, they are rarely found when travelling with Seabourn Cruises.

Seabourn is surely one of the finest cruising options on earth. The small ships with the perfectly trained and very dedicated crew are wonderful holiday escapes for those who love luxury without stiff upper lip traditions. Considering what you get, the cruise prices are highly attractive - especially when keeping in mind that all dining options, fine beverages and even tips are already included.
