Champagne on ice.  Flowers in the sitting room.  A spacious marble-clad bath and a walk-in closet.  You’re inside a suite with panoramic views fit for a King and Queen and all for the taking when you cruise the Seabourn Pride yacht.  

Views outside five-foot picture windows or even better yet, balcony glass doors, in some suites, will have you mesmerized for hours as you watch the pure blue waters pass you by and you drift into a world of rest and relaxation beyond your wildest dreams.  Fall into a world of luxury as you slide between the fine Egyptian cotton linens and snuggle under a fluffy duvet.  The king-sized down and feather pillows will soothe you into an afternoon nap.  You’ll need it before you visit the casino, dine al fresco or dance under the stars.  If you’re in the mood for a romantic course-by-course in-suite dining experience, it’s only a phone call away.

Sunshine enters your suite each day, in the form of your personal suite stewardess.  Whether she draws the warm, scented Molton Brown bath of your choice from the Pure Pampering menu or surprises you at night with a sprinkling of rose petals on your bed, she helps to make wishes come true.  She’ll present your welcome tray of canapés and homemade cookies after a day ashore.  And your complimentary in-suite bar is always stocked according to your preferences.  You’ll also find a beautiful fresh bowl of fruit for your pleasure placed daily by your stewardess.  Just in case you want a break from the natural beauty outside your window, you can select from an extensive roster of DVDs and CDs to watch, including recent films and music from classical to rock, as well as audio books by best-selling authors like Tom Clancy and Dan Brown.  Enjoy any of them on your suite’s flat screen TV or Bose Stereo/CD player.

Celebrating special occasions is a specialty of Seabourn yachting life.  From an intimate cocktail party to a bowl of popcorn for a private movie screening, all you have to do is ask.

All suites are supplied with only the finest bath selections, including fine soaps by Hermès, Bijan and L’Occitane.  With this style of pampering, who would ever want to return home?

The maiden voyage of the Pride yacht was in 1998 when it was christened by Shirley Temple Black.  It recently underwent a complete refurbishing two years ago.  It’s one of 208 intimate Seabourn guest ships that cruise the world.  All you need to do is pick your destination because it truly is the fine details that separate a Seabourn cruise from all the others, but, you’ll never know, if never go.
