Life Onboard Seabourn
Overview
Since welcoming its first guests in 1988, Seabourn has continually redefined luxury cruising with its philosophy of “intuitive service, exceptional dining and enriching experiences”. As a member of the Carnival Corporation family, Seabourn has remained true to its pioneering spirit. Every ship is designed to feel both spacious and intimate, with elegant interiors, light-filled lounges and an attentive crew-to-guest ratio that ensures no detail is ever overlooked. Whether sailing across calm Mediterranean waters or venturing to the ends of the Earth, Seabourn guests experience a seamless blend of refinement, adventure, and warmth —the true essence of modern luxury travel.
Accommodations
Every suite aboard Seabourn feels like a private sanctuary at sea, designed to balance space, elegance and comfort in perfect harmony. Each is ocean-facing, and on most ships, a private veranda invites guests to step out into the fresh sea air and take in ever-changing views.
On Seabourn’s Odyssey-class vessels, Ocean View Suites offer the same refined design and amenities, complete with large picture windows that fill the space with natural light and bring the ocean just a glance away. Across the fleet, Veranda Suites form the heart of the Seabourn experience – light-filled and beautifully appointed, featuring a spacious living area, a queen-size bed, a marble bathroom with a separate tub and shower, a walk-in wardrobe, and a bar stocked and replenished to your personal preferences.
For those seeking even more space, Penthouse and Penthouse Spa Suites offer separate living and sleeping areas, extended verandas, dining space for entertaining and a serene, spa-inspired design. At the pinnacle of indulgence, Owner’s, Signature and Wintergarden Suites combine expansive ocean views with the finest touches – whirlpool baths, guest dining rooms, walk-in closets and enhanced services such as priority dining, complimentary Wi-Fi and in-suite caviar service. No matter the category, every suite includes personalised steward service, ensuring your preferences are remembered and your comfort is effortlessly maintained throughout your voyage.
Activities
Life aboard Seabourn unfolds entirely on your terms, with days that can be as laid-back or as adventurous as you choose. From moments of quiet indulgence with a book and coffee to unforgettable encounters in some of the world’s most remote destinations, every detail is designed to make you feel both relaxed and inspired.
At the heart of every ship lies Seabourn Square – the social hub and living room of the fleet. Here, guests can enjoy barista-made coffees, fresh pastries and light bites while mingling with fellow travellers or catching up on the day’s news. With its open-plan design and plush seating, it’s a warm, welcoming space that feels far removed from the formality of a traditional reception.
For those who prefer gentler pastimes, Card Rooms provide a setting for bridge, board games, and socialising, while the Shops at Seabourn showcase fine jewellery, designer fashion, fragrance and exclusive Seabourn merchandise. Enrichment programmes are another highlight, featuring talks from historians, naturalists and cultural experts who bring each destination vividly to life.
For guests with a spirit of adventure, Seabourn’s Marina Days and Zodiac excursions offer rare opportunities to explore beyond the ship. On select itineraries, guests can kayak through quiet lagoons, snorkel in crystal-clear waters or venture ashore for up-close encounters with wildlife – all guided by Seabourn’s expert expedition team. The Discovery Centre, found on the expedition ships Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit, serves as a base for learning and exploration, with multimedia presentations, expert briefings and insight into the wonders you’ll soon experience first-hand.
Then there are Seabourn’s signature moments — the experiences that make their voyages truly unforgettable. Chief among them is Caviar in the Surf, a decadent beach barbecue held in the world’s most beautiful settings, where uniformed crew wade through turquoise waters to serve Champagne and caviar to guests standing barefoot in the surf. No matter where you sail, Seabourn ensures that every day brings a new kind of luxury — whether through connection, discovery or simply the joy of unhurried living at sea.
Entertainment
When the sun sets, life aboard Seabourn takes on a new energy. Evenings are as refined or as lively as you wish them to be, offering a seamless blend of world-class entertainment, elegant social spaces and intimate moments that make every night memorable.
In the Grand Salon, Seabourn’s talented cast of singers and dancers takes to the stage for dazzling performances ranging from cabaret-style shows and vocal recitals to classical concerts and comedy. On some sailings, guest performers — from renowned pianists to Broadway vocalists — join the line-up, ensuring variety and artistry throughout your voyage. By day, this sophisticated venue also hosts insightful lectures, culinary demonstrations and destination briefings, adding cultural depth to your journey.
For those who prefer a more relaxed ambience, The Club offers a refined yet convivial setting. Here, guests gather for pre-dinner cocktails accompanied by live music before the energy builds and a DJ takes over in the evening. It’s a favourite meeting spot for night owls who enjoy dancing, conversation and Seabourn’s signature hospitality.
Elsewhere, the Observation Bar provides a quieter kind of indulgence. With sweeping 270-degree views and a pianist playing softly in the background, it’s the ideal spot to enjoy a Champagne toast as the ship glides into the night. The experience is elevated further by the artistry of Seabourn’s mixologists, who craft perfectly balanced cocktails that rival those of the world’s best hotel bars.
On Seabourn’s expedition vessels, the Constellation Lounge becomes the ship’s entertainment and social centre — a stylish space by day for briefings and wildlife watching through floor-to-ceiling windows, and a warm, inviting venue by night, where guests can unwind with live music and cocktails beneath the stars.
Food & Drink
Dining with Seabourn is an experience to be savoured. It's a true expression of the line’s dedication to excellence, creativity and the joy of sharing good food in great company. Every meal, whether a casual breakfast by the pool or a multi-course dinner paired with fine wine, reflects the care and craftsmanship of Seabourn’s culinary team.
At the heart of the experience is The Restaurant, the ship’s main dining venue, where open seating allows guests the freedom to dine when and with whom they please. Elegant yet relaxed, it offers a daily-changing menu of classic and contemporary dishes crafted with the finest seasonal ingredients, often inspired by the regions you sail through. Service is polished but never pretentious, creating a sense of occasion at every sitting.
For something more informal, The Colonnade combines bistro-style charm with spectacular ocean views. Its open kitchen and indoor-outdoor layout make it ideal for leisurely breakfasts or lunches, while in the evening it transforms into a table-service restaurant serving themed menus and regional specialities.
The Patio by the pool is the go-to for relaxed dining, offering fresh salads, grilled favourites, handmade pizzas and indulgent desserts.
On select sailings, Seabourn’s Earth & Ocean concept brings an extra touch of magic to the evening. Set beneath the open sky, this al fresco dining experience presents an inventive, globally inspired menu that celebrates flavours from around the world.
Solis brings a fresh wave of Mediterranean inspiration to Seabourn’s fleet. Developed in collaboration with long-time Seabourn partners Master Chef and Culinary Partner Anton Egger and Senior Corporate Chef Franck Salein, this contemporary venue celebrates the essence of coastal dining. The menu focuses on light, flavourful dishes crafted from the finest seasonal ingredients — think sun-ripened produce, delicate seafood and vibrant herbs — all presented with an effortless elegance that captures the spirit of the Mediterranean lifestyle.
Across Seabourn’s ships, guests will also discover a number of elegant bars and lounges, each with its own character. The Observation Bar is the perfect spot for panoramic views and an expertly made cocktail, while the Sky Bar and Patio Bar offer open-air settings for relaxed drinks at any hour. In The Club, the atmosphere comes alive each evening with live music, dancing and fine Champagne, making it a favourite place to gather with friends old and new. With all dining venues and drinks included in your fare, Seabourn’s culinary offering combines freedom, flavour and finesse.
Seabourn Drinks Packages
At Seabourn, indulgence is always included. Guests can enjoy an extensive selection of fine wines, premium spirits, speciality coffees and soft drinks — all complimentary throughout their voyage. From Champagne served as you embark to expertly mixed cocktails at sunset, every drink reflects Seabourn’s dedication to quality and effortless hospitality. For those who wish to elevate their experience even further, Seabourn offers optional premium beverage packages featuring an expanded selection of rare wines, ultra-premium spirits and exclusive vintages curated by expert sommeliers.
Relaxation & Fitness
Seabourn’s approach to wellbeing is rooted in pure indulgence, blending restorative tranquillity with opportunities for gentle activity. The Spa & Wellness programme, created in partnership with leading experts, offers a haven of calm where every detail is designed to rejuvenate body and mind. Guests can choose from a menu of luxurious treatments, including soothing massages, revitalising facials, and advanced therapies that promote balance and renewal. Many ships feature elegant thermal suites, where saunas, steam rooms and hydrotherapy pools invite deep relaxation.
On deck, the serene Pool Terrace and Sun Terrace provide stylish sanctuaries for soaking up the sunshine, with plush loungers, whirlpools, and thoughtful touches that make every moment effortlessly indulgent.
For those who prefer a more active pace, Seabourn’s Fitness Centres offer state-of-the-art equipment, including the latest cardio and resistance machines. Expert-led fitness classes — from yoga and Pilates to guided stretching — provide inspiration for maintaining your wellbeing at sea, while open-air decks offer the perfect setting for a morning jog or an energising workout surrounded by ocean views.
On expedition ships, adventure and wellness go hand in hand, with experiences such as kayaking, guided hikes, and even invigorating polar plunges adding a thrilling dimension to staying active. Whether you’re seeking deep relaxation or a renewed sense of vitality, Seabourn ensures every guest finds their own perfect balance between wellness, discovery, and indulgence.
Seabourn Club
