Seabourn Takes Top Spots in Conde Nast Traveler Cruise Ship Rankings
Seabourn Odyssey Named Best Small Cruise Ship Two Years in a Row
SEATTLE, Feb. 6, 2012 - For the second year in a row, Seabourn?s intimate, luxury cruise ships sailed to the top of Conde Nast Traveler?s prestigious list of the world?s 100 best cruise ships, based on scores achieved in the magazine?s annual Readers? Choice poll. Seabourn?s fleet dominated the survey, occupying five of the top seven spots. Once again, Seabourn Odyssey was the highest-rated small cruise ship, with Seabourn Pride coming in second. Seabourn Sojourn ranked fourth, and Seabourn Legend and Seabourn Spirit rounded out the top seven. Seabourn Quest, which debuted to rave reviews in June of 2011, was not included in the poll but is a sister ship to the top rated Odyssey.
?These honors truly belong to Seabourn?s hardworking crew,? said Seabourn?s president, Richard Meadows. ?We?re extremely proud of them, and we know that these rankings are a direct result of the exceptional way they care for our guests.?
The list, published in the magazine?s February issue, outlines the scores of each ship in a variety of categories, including service, itineraries, food and dining, activities, design and layout, and more. Seabourn Odyssey, Seabourn Sojourn and Seabourn Legend received the highest scores in three categories: 97.1 for cabins, 98.8 for food/dining and 93.5 for design/layout, respectively.
In 2011, Seabourn completed a three-ship expansion, adding new vessels that garnered rave reviews and acclaim as ?game-changers? for the luxury cruise segment.? The expansion included the launch of Seabourn Odyssey in June 2009, Seabourn Sojourn in June 2010, and the new Seabourn Quest in June 2011.? Each ship carries 450 guests, providing the highest ratio of space per guest in the industry and unmatched levels of personalized service from nearly one staff member per guest. Seabourn?s fleet includes the line?s original trio of 208-guest ships: Seabourn Pride, Seabourn Spirit and Seabourn Legend.
All six ships offer key elements that set Seabourn apart: spacious, thoughtfully appointed suites, many with verandas; superb dining in a choice of venues; open bars throughout the ship; fine wines poured at lunch and dinner; the aforementioned award-winning service and a relaxed, sociable atmosphere that makes guests feel right at home on board.
Seabourn?s six-ship fleet circles the globe throughout the year, sailing to the world?s most desirable destinations at their peak seasons. Cruises of seven days to World Cruises of more than 100 days visit hundreds of ports, including marquee cities and lesser-known yachting harbors and hideaways.
