Seabourn Cruises
For 20 consecutive years, Condé Nast Traveler has reserved a space on their Gold List for the Seabourn Cruise Line. Travel + Leisure has awarded them the World’s Best Small-Ship Cruise Line and if the rest of their awards were listed here, the entire article would end up being quite boring. The Seabourn fleet, in the ultra-luxury sector, has five ships: the Seabourn Odyssey, the Seabourn Sojourn, the Seabourn Quest, the Seabourn Encore, and the Seabourn Ovation. Each of the Seabourn ships carries just under 500 passengers and there’s nearly a one-to-one staff to passenger ratio, so the service is top notch. Many cruise liners carry literally thousands of passengers! All of the cabins are suites, guests enjoy spa and wellness services, gourmet dining, and onboard activities. Small group excursions at nearly every port are optional, whether you want to shop, kayak, trek, or watch wildlife.
#5 New Zealand and the Coral Coast on the Seabourn Encore
Book the Owner’s Suite on the Encore and enjoy a 32-day cruise for a little under $40,000 per person. The trip begins in New Zealand and makes several stops in New Zealand and Australia before heading toward Indonesia, where your trip ends in Bali. Or does it?
