The Seabourn Cruise Line runs three ultra-luxury yacht-style cruise ships. The emphasis is on personalized service with almost one staff member per guest, luxury suites, many with balconies, and award-winning cuisine. The atmosphere on Seabourn Cruise Line yachts is club-like. Each ship has only 104 ocean view suites, limiting the number of passengers to 208.

On board luxuries include complimentary bar service of fine wines and spirits, complimentary Massage Moments, and fine Egyptian cotton bathrobes and towels. Seabourn Cruise Line also introduced Movies Under the Stars, where guests can enjoy on deck movies. On the shore, guests can experience privileged access to historic and cultural sites, such as a private visit to the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice, as well as special meals and tastings.

To ensure the finest dining experience during your cruise vacation, the renowned American chef-restaurateur Charlie Palmer designed over 200 new signature recipes in 2002 to be served on the Seabourn Cruise Line yachts.

For the eighth consecutive year, Seabourn Cruise Line has received the prestigious International Five Star Diamond Award from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences. The award is given only to the best establishments for "outstanding commitment to excellence and service within the hospitality industry."
