Seabourn Spirit to Visit Out of the Way Caribbean Destinations this Winter

With a maximum capacity of just 208 guests, Seabourn Spirit is able to visit unique areas of the Caribbean that many other ships are unable to reach, including lesser-known towns on the islands of St. Barts, Guadeloupe and the British Virgin Islands – anchoring alongside private yachts in many of the smaller bays.

Guests keen to explore hidden Caribbean gems can join the 14-day Exotic Caribbean In-depth sailing. Measuring just 100 metres in length and 50 meters wide, the uninhabited Prickly Pear Island in the British Virgin Islands gives Seabourn guests the ultimate luxury experience - relax on the white sands, discover the island's natural beauty or simply enjoy a refreshing drink at the island bar. Guests will also experience Seabourn's unique “Caviar in the Surf” beach party here, which includes complimentary watersports from the ship's own marina.

Steeped in seafaring traditions such as boat-building and fishing, the main harbor at Admiralty Bay on Bequia Island (St. Vincent and the Grenadines) is the perfect place for guests to take advantage of world class snorkeling and diving – which can be done from the ship's own marina, with an abundance of wrecks. The rugged east coast of the island also offers a remote hiking experience combined with stunning views of the Atlantic.

A stopover in Terre-de-Haut (Guadeloupe), a few miles off the coast of the main island will see Seabourn Spirit join just a handful of yachts in the harbor. Guests can make the most of the quaint and quiet beauty of the small island, its rich colonial heritage and welcoming locals.

Other islands visited on this unique sailing include Antigua, Dominica and Barbados.

As well as Seabourn Spirit and Seabourn Legend, the original ships in the fleet, Seabourn's three Odyssey-class ships have also received rave reviews. Acclaimed as “game changers” for the luxury cruise segment when they entered service beginning with Seabourn Odyssey in 2009, and followed by Seabourn Sojourn in 2010 and Seabourn Quest in 2011, the ships offer spacious suites, most with verandas; superb dining in a choice of venues; open bars throughout the ship; fine wines served at lunch and dinner; award-winning personalized service and a relaxed, sociable atmosphere. At 32,000 tons and carrying just 458 guests each, the ships provide one of the highest ratios of space per guest in the industry and unmatched levels of personalized service from nearly one staff member per guest.

Seabourn is consistently ranked among the world's top travel choices by professional critics and the discerning readers of prestigious travel publications such as The Telegraph Group, Departures, Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler. Its stylish, distinctive cruises are renowned for:

• Five intimate ships with just 104 or 229 suites
• Unique itineraries visiting must-see cities and hidden gems where larger ships cannot follow
• Intuitive, gracious service provided by a staff passionate about pleasing our guests
• Spacious all-suite accommodations with sweeping ocean views – many with verandas
• Gourmet dining experiences as fine as the best restaurants anywhere
• Open bars throughout the ship and fine wines poured with lunch and dinner.
