Service with a smile
A genuine smile can go a long way, and the quality of service you’ll enjoy with Seabourn is intuitive and sincere – you will feel the discernible difference between being simply catered to and being genuinely welcomed and cared for. Each suite is attended by a Personal Suite Attendant, who will greet you with a glass of sparkling Champagne, replenish your ice and bar set-up, draw you a pampering bubble bath or arrange an in-suite cocktail party. Tipping is neither required, nor expected.

One of its most popular Mediterranean guest offerings is the Marina Day, where (subject to weather conditions) the ship’s unique retractable marina platform lets guests make a splash with a wide array of watersports, including kayaks, pedal boats, donut rides, banana boats, paddleboards, water-skiing and more, all to the breathtaking backdrop of the sunkissed Mediterranean and shimmering seas of the Adriatic.
