Seabourn Introduces New European Combination Cruises

Seabourn has introduced clever new itineraries for its award-winning small-ship fleet in Europe for the coming season that provide appealing opportunities for travelers to combine two or more cruises and see more, sail more, and save 10 percent or more on fares for longer luxury cruise vacations. In addition, during Seabourn's Signature Savings Event now underway, a complimentary veranda upgrade is available on many of its European Combination Cruises. Although Seabourn offers dozens of extended Combination Cruise values on all six of its intimate all-suite ships year-round and worldwide, many of the Combination Cruises in Europe provide extended itineraries with several departures scheduled conveniently throughout the season.

"Many of our guests book Combination Cruises to take full advantage of our port-rich itineraries," said John Delaney, Seabourn's senior vice president of marketing and sales. "They are especially popular with travelers exploring the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Aegean Seas."

Some outstanding examples of Seabourn's European Combination Cruises include:

Seabourn Quest offers 20-day European Combination Cruises for 2013, with with complimentary veranda upgrades. Isles of the Mediterranean sails from Athens (Piraeus), Greece to Barcelona, Spain on June 18, Aug 17, and Sept 16, 2012, calling at 17 ports and featuring Seabourn's exclusive Evening at Ephesus complimentary shore event, plus two scheduled Marina Days. The Rivieras, Spain & Rome variation cruises between Monte Carlo and Athens on June 28, Aug 27, and Sept 26, 2012, with a late-night stay in Barcelona and planned Marina Days in Le Lavandou, France and Golfo Aranci on Sardinia.
