Seabourn Cruises

For 20 consecutive years, Condé Nast Traveler has reserved a space on their Gold List for the Seabourn Cruise Line. Travel + Leisure has awarded them the World’s Best Small-Ship Cruise Line and if the rest of their awards were listed here, the entire article would be boring. The Seabourn fleet has five ships; the Seabourn Odyssey, the Seabourn Sojourn, the Seabourn Quest, the Seabourn Encore, and the Seabourn Ovation. Each ship carries just under 500 passengers and there’s a near one-to-one staff to passenger ratio, so the service is top notch. All of the cabins are suites, guests enjoy spa and wellness services, gourmet dining, on-board activities and small group excursions at nearly every port are optional, whether you want to kayak, trek, shop, or watch wildlife.

Reserve the Owner’s Suite on the Encore for a little under $40,000 per person and enjoy a 32 day cruise that begins in New Zealand, makes several stops in New Zealand and Australia before heading toward Indonesia, where your trip ends in Bali. Or does it?
