Seabourn, the world's finest ultra-luxury cruise line, has been voted "Best Small-Ship Cruise Line" for 2017 by the sophisticated readers of Condé Nast Traveler. Over the past decade, the line has dominated and frequently secured the top honor in the "Best Small-Ship Cruise Line" category in the magazine's annual Readers' Choice Awards.
"Condé Nast Traveler readers truly understand luxury travel and service, and we are honored to receive this incredible recognition again from this very discerning audience," said Seabourn President Richard Meadows. "Our hardworking teams, both on the ships and ashore, take pride in delivering the ultimate ultra-luxury travel experience, and receiving this recognition speaks volumes about their dedication to delivering at a high level day in and day out."
Earning the Condé Nast Traveler "Best Small-Ship Cruise Line" Readers' Choice Award is a true testament to the line's exceptional itineraries, immersive experiences, and outstanding service that continue to attract sophisticated travelers year after year.
Seabourn represents the pinnacle of ultra-luxury travel with intimate ships offering key elements that set the line apart: spacious, thoughtfully appointed suites, many with verandas and all 100% ocean front; superb dining in a choice of venues; complimentary premium spirits and fine wines available on board at all times; award-winning service and a relaxed, sociable atmosphere that makes guests feel right at home on board. The ships travel the globe to many of the world's most desirable destinations, including marquee cities, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and lesser-known ports and hideaways.
Guests who sail on Seabourn will continue to find a number of innovative offerings and programs, including partnerships with a select group of companies and individuals whose dedication to superior quality, exceptional service and consistent customer satisfaction matches Seabourn.
