SEATTLE, Oct. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Seabourn, the world's finest ultra-luxury cruise
line, has yet again been voted "Best Small-Ship Cruise Line" for
2016 by the sophisticated, discerning readers of Conde
Nast Traveler. Over the past decade, the line has dominated
the "Best Small-Ship Cruise Line" category in the magazine's annual
Readers' Choice Awards, securing the top honor for the past seven
consecutive years.
"Conde Nast Traveler readers are well-traveled and
well-versed in luxury and high-touch service, and it has been honor
to receive this award year after year," said Seabourn President
Richard Meadows. "With the upcoming
arrival of our newest ship, Seabourn Encore set to launch in
December, followed by Seabourn Ovation in the spring of
2018, there will be even more for the magazine's readers to
consider in the years ahead. Through all these developments, we
continue to strive to provide the best ultra-luxury travel
experience and are pleased to receive recognition of our
efforts."
Earning the Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award is
a true testament to the line's exceptional itineraries and
outstanding service that continue to attract sophisticated
travelers year over year. Seabourn's excellence has been celebrated
by many observers over the past decade, including World's Best
Awards for Best Small Ship Cruise Line from readers of Travel +
Leisure in six of the past 10 years, as well as the 2016 Cruise
Critic U.S. Editors' Picks Award for Best Luxury Cruise Line. The
company also earned a 2015 Good Taste Award from Saveur,
whose "expert panel" of industry experts and prominent culinary and
travel editors similarly acknowledged Seabourn as Best Culinary
Cruise Line in 2013 and 2014.
Seabourn's intimate ships offer key elements that set the line
apart: spacious, thoughtfully appointed suites, many with verandas;
superb dining in a choice of venues; open bars throughout the ship;
fine wines poured at lunch and dinner; award-winning service and a
relaxed, sociable atmosphere that makes guests feel right at home
onboard. The ships travel the globe throughout the year, sailing to
many of the world's most desirable destinations, including marquee
cities, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and lesser-known ports and
hideaways.
