Unique Features
Though Seabourn is not the first cruise line to offer cruises to UNESCO World Heritage sites, it is the first one to enter an official partnership with the organisation. Seabourn has partnered with UNESCO to promote sustainable tourism at World Heritage properties. Through this support to UNESCO the cruise line helps engender a wider understanding and commitment for the UNESCO World Heritage Convention’s mission to identify, safeguard, and promote unique cultural and natural heritage around the world deemed to possess outstanding universal value for all humankind. For guests, this partnership with UNESCO means their travels with Seabourn will be enhanced by deeper insight and information about these intriguing destinations while supporting their conservation through sustainable tourism.

Loyalty Scheme
Once guests have sailed with Seabourn, they will understand the unique sense of belonging that occurs as they get to know the interesting, convivial people who share their voyage. That same sense of belonging to a cordial group of travellers is enjoyed by those - and only those - who have sailed with them, as members of their exclusive Seabourn Club.
Seabourn Club Benefits have always been among the most valuable in the cruise industry, especially the Milestone Award of a complimentary cruise after sailing 140 days. They have now added new benefits that start rewarding passengers after their first cruise, and increase in value as they sail more. Because personalisation is a hallmark of Seabourn's service, guests are free to choose the rewards they prefer from a generous menu of onboard amenities.
As a member of the new Seabourn Club, there are two ways guests are rewarded – Milestone Awards and Seabourn Club Points.
Milestone Awards
Seabourn’s complimentary Milestone Cruise Awards will continue to represent the richest loyalty rewards in cruising. Each day you sail with Seabourn earns you one Sailed Day, and these days count toward your Milestone Awards.
Seabourn Club Points
In addition to earning Milestone Awards, you can also earn Seabourn Club Points that qualify you for an array of additional benefits onboard and at home. These points establish your Seabourn Club Membership level. There are a number of ways to earn Seabourn Club Points:
- Each Sailed Day on board a Seabourn ship earns you one Seabourn Club Point
- Each Sailed Day in a penthouse or premium suite accommodation earns one additional Seabourn Club Point
- Each night on an escorted Seabourn Journey earns one Seabourn Club Point
- Every $500 of eligible onboard and pre-cruise online purchases earns one Seabourn Club Point (net of returns, and limited to one additional Seabourn Club Point for each Sailed Day)
