SEATTLE, March 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Seabourn, the world's finest ultra-luxury travel
experience, announced today that it will extend
the voluntarily pause of global operations
for its five cruise ships for an additional 30 days.
The 30-day extension includes sailings scheduled to depart through
May 14, 2020.
The brand had announced an initial 30-day pause in global
operations, which took effect on March 14,
2020. The decision is a proactive response to the
unpredictable circumstances evolving from the global spread of
COVID-19.
Seabourn will be communicating changes to voyages scheduled to
depart in the extension window with all booked guests and their
travel advisors.
Seabourn guests on impacted voyages will receive a 125% refund
of the fare paid in the form of a future cruise credit, which can
be applied toward any future cruise through December 31, 2021. For guests who do not opt to
choose the 125% future cruise credit, a 100% refund of the monies
paid to Seabourn will be reimbursed to the original form of
payment.
Guests and their travel advisors will be sent
communications on how to manage cancellations and desired
compensation online. Seabourn asks guests not to call the
Reservation Call Center for information about the
cancellations due to the possibility of high call
volumes and the potential of long on-hold wait
times.
For reservations or more information about Seabourn, please
