1987 saw the creation of the ultimate in luxury cruise ships. This was the Seabourn Cruise Line. Stories are woven around incidents and one such story is how the Seabourn Spirit averted machine gun fire and grenades during a pirate attack when it was cruising off the coast of Somalia. The guests were all shifted to the dining room and wonderfully calm and phlegmatic waiters served coffee, as though such things happened every day and not just that particular morning.
The Seabourn is headquartered in Miami, Florida and is a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation & plc. They have a fleet of 3 identical vessels – the Seabourn Pride, Seabourn Spirit and Seabourn Legend. The Seabourn Odyssey is to be delivered in June this year, while the Seabourn Sojourn is to be launched in 2010. A third Odyssey is to be delivered in 2011.
A Caribbean jaunt for 7 days on board the Seabourn Legend has all the makings of a fantastic holiday. The port of embarkation is Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and the Seabourn Legend cruises the Atlantic Ocean on the second day. On the third day, the Legend calls at the Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos. The fourth day is again a cruise, and on the fifth day, the Legend calls at Jost Van Dyke, Bvi. The next day sees you at Basseterre, St. Kitts, and on the seventh day, the Legend calls at Prickly Pear Island and from there on to Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas.
