Australians will have an unprecedented opportunity to experience ultra-luxury cruising in local waters next summer, with two of Seabourn’s newest ships visiting the South Pacific region.
The latest addition to the Seabourn fleet, the glamorous Seabourn Quest will make its maiden visit to Australia in February 2013, calling at Sydney, Brisbane, Hamilton Island, Townsville, Cairns and Thursday Island as part of a 116-day world cruise.
Meanwhile, the award-winning Seabourn Odyssey, launched in 2009, will sail in local waters for almost three months as she explores the islands and coastlines of Indonesia, New Zealand and Australia, offering Australian holidaymakers an array of ultra-luxury cruise itineraries.
Seabourn Director of Sales in Australia Tony Archbold said the visits by two of the world’s most stylish ships reflected Australians’ growing love affair with luxury cruising.
“Over the past year we’ve seen a significant increase in the number of Australians stepping onboard Seabourn ships all over the world,” Mr Archbold said.
“Next summer will give Australians an unparalleled opportunity to experience the intimacy, elegance, superb service and all-inclusive value for which Seabourn is renowned, close to home.”
