Seabourn to go year round in Asia in 2010
Seabourn will operate year-round itineraries in Asia in 2010-2011, a first for the fleet.
New Asian ports of call include Dalian in China, Busan and Inchon in Korea, Nagasaki and Kagoshima in Japan and numerous Indonesian destinations, including Bali, Borneo, Komodo Island and the Karimoenjawa archipelago.
“One of the many benefits of our newbuilding programme is the ability to add exotic, new itineraries in 2010 and 2011,” said Pamela Conover, president and CEO.
“We have never before offered such a wide range of destinations – from small-ship exclusives in the Caribbean and Mediterranean to more remote ports in Asia and Africa.”
Thanks to the addition of Seabourn Odyssey in June 2009 and Seabourn Sojourn in June 2010, the expanded fleet allows Seabourn to also add itineraries exploring other ports of call, including Palopo on Sulawesi, Zanzibar, Tanzania, and Antseranana, Madagascar.
Cruises during the 15-month period are now featured on www.seabourn.com and are open for sale, while a cruise brochure will be published in April 2009.
