Seabourn announces longer cruise pause, impacting select Europe sailings
Ultra-luxury line Seabourn is remains optimistic for the ultimate restart of travel, while in the meantime, it is continuing to take a practical approach in extending its current operational pause.
As a result, the brand is cancelling a series of select 2021 Europe departures.
The scheduled retsart dates for Seabourn Sojourn, Seabourn Encore and Seabourn Ovation is now set for 3 July 2021 for all three ships.
Seabourn Quest is now scheduled to resume sailing on 7 November 2021.
Guests with bookings affected are being given as much notice as possible to provide more certainty around their travel plans.
"Our highest priorities are compliance, environmental protection and the health, safety and well-being of our guests, crew and the people in destinations we visit," said Josh Leibowitz, President of Seabourn.
"We understand guests are eager to travel and, even though we have extended our pause in operations a bit further, we continue to prepare to welcome them back once again."
Guests with impacted cruise bookings have until 15 April 2021 to request to be re-booked to a comparable 2022 voyage at their 2021 rate paid plus current amenities.
Guests who prefer an alternative choice can also request a bonus future cruise credit offer or a full refund of monies paid to Seabourn to the original form of payment.
Guests and their travel advisors will receive specific details applicable to their booking.
Seabourn asks guests and travel advisors to use the online resources available on its website first rather than calling the Reservation Call Center for information about the cancellations due to the possibility of high call volumes.
