SEATTLE, April 14, 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 to voyages scheduled to depart
through June 30, 2020.
The brand had previously announced a pause in its global ship
operations from March 14 - May 14,
2020, effectively cancelling all voyages scheduled to
operate during that timeframe. The decision is a proactive response
to the unpredictable circumstances evolving from the global
response to the COVID-19 situation.
Seabourn will be communicating changes for 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
on monies received in the form of a future cruise credit, which
must be booked by Dec. 30, 2020 but
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 details on how to
manage cancellations and desired compensation online. Seabourn asks
guests and travel advisors to use the online resources available
first rather than calling 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
contact Seabourn at 1-800-929-9391 or visit www.seabourn.com.
