The Yachts of Seabourn
Seabourn Tops the List Again and Again
Travel + Leisure has voted Seabourn Cruise Line as the "Worlds Best Small Ship Cruise Line" for 2005. Conde Naste, another cruise industry publication, voted Seabourn Spirit as the highest rated luxury cruise ship in the world; an award it also received in 2003. A recent Luxury survey from Departures magazine showed Seabourn with the highest rating available.
