Seabourn‘s# luxury cruise ships sailed to the top of Condé Nast Traveler‘s prestigious list of the world’s 100 best cruise ships, occupying five of the top seven spots in the magazine’s annual Readers’ Choice poll.
“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.”
Seabourn Odyssey was the highest-rated small cruise ship, with Seabourn Pride coming in second, Seabourn Sojourn fourth, and Seabourn Legend and Seabourn Spirit rounded out the top seven. Seabourn Quest, which debuted to rave reviews in 2011, was not included in the poll (robbed) but is a sister ship to the top rated Odyssey (wait until next year).
The list, published in the magazine’s February issue, rates ships on 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. Seabourn Odyssey, Seabourn Sojourn and new Seabourn Quest that we were on in December each carry just 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 also 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 including spacious, thoughtfully appointed suites, superb dining in a choice of venues,# open bars throughout the ship and fine wines poured at lunch and dinner in a relaxed, sociable atmosphere that makes guests feel right at home on board.
