Seabourn Alaska Cruises
When Seabourn was founded in 1986, the owners sought to reinvent luxury cruising, and offer guests a casual yet refined elegance once only available to owners of the world's top yachts. They've succeeded in their vision, creating a fleet of ships with all-suite, ocean-view accommodations; a nearly all-inclusive cruise fare complete with world-class dining and premium complimentary beverages; and an onboard staff nearly equal to the number of guests on each ship. Sailing with Seabourn is a luxury travel experience unlike any other.

Seabourn Alaska Cruises Overview
"The World"s Finest Ultra-Luxury Cruise Line," Seabourn thinks about the little things when planning your travel experiences. On Alaska cruises, each guests gets a complimentary Seabourn all-weather jacket delivered to their suite upon arrival. Longer itineraries - between 11 and 25 days - give you more time to explore your destination, and unique ports like Wrangell, Alaska and Haines, Alaska are hard to find on other ships. Sail with Seabourn between June and September and experience the best of Alaska as well as the comfort of an elegant, luxurious vessel.
Seabourn Cruise Ships in Alaska
Sail to Alaska aboard the Seabourn Sojourn, the second in the line's new class of ships. She debuted in 2010 in London, and carries just 450 passengers. The Sojourn has a high space-to-guest ratio, with plenty of public areas to mingle and relax, from the living-room-style Seabourn Square to the numerous open terraces on the ship's seven decks. Like all Seabourn ships, the Sojourn has all-suite accommodations, and the largest ultra-luxury ship spa at sea. On the Sojourn, you can play mini golf, dine in an elegant dining room or casual patio grill, relax in the spa, and enjoy a performance in the Grand Salon, all in the highest level of comfort and style.
