seabourn cruise sale

One of the world's best-known luxury cruise brands to shrink in size with ship sale

Another major cruise line is downsizing in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Luxury line Seabourn on Thursday announced it had sold one of its six vessels — the 458-passenger Seabourn Odyssey — to a Japanese company that offers cruises aimed at the Japanese market.

The buyer of the ship, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd., will charter it back to Seabourn for the next 17 months so that Seabourn can continue offering all the departures that are currently on Seabourn Odyssey's schedule. No sailings will be canceled.

Seabourn Odyssey's last voyage for Seabourn is now Aug. 22, 2024.

First unveiled in 2009, Seabourn Odyssey is the oldest of Seabourn's six vessels. It has sailed for the line for all its 14 years in service.

"We are proud that Seabourn Odyssey carried our guests across the world for the last 14 years and are happy to see her join a great company, MOL," Seabourn president Natalya Leahy said in a statement accompanying the announcement.

The departure of Seabourn Odyssey will represent a significant downsizing for the Seabourn brand, which is considered one of the leaders in luxury cruising. The ship currently accounts for about 16% of Seabourn's passenger capacity.

Seabourn Odyssey's departure from the Seabourn fleet comes as the line's parent company, Carnival Corporation, struggles to put its financial house back in order following a massive, multiyear downturn in revenues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The downturn forced the company to take on an enormous amount of debt to stay solvent — debt that must now be paid down. As of December, the company's total debt stood at $34.55 billion, up from less than $12 billion at the start of 2020.

For context, Carnival Corporation — the parent company of Seabourn, Carnival Cruise Line , Princess Cruises and six other cruise brands — made about $2.9 billion in profits in its last good year (2019).

Carnival Corporation's recent financial maneuvers included shedding its least profitable ships, cutting service on remaining ships and increasing fees for shipboard services in an effort to cut costs and boost revenue.

Carnival Corporation has also paused new ship orders for its nine brands for now.

Seabourn didn't say how much money the sale of Seabourn Odyssey would raise for Carnival Corporation's coffers.

In all, Carnival Corporation has shed 26 vessels across its nine brands since the start of the pandemic. It went into the pandemic with 105 vessels. The downsizing has included the removal of four ships from the company's Holland America brand and six ships from its Carnival Cruise Line brand .

Even as it sheds one of its six existing vessels, Seabourn is preparing to welcome a new ship to its fleet. Due in August, the 264-passenger Seabourn Pursuit will be a small expedition ship of the same design as its 7-month-old Seabourn Venture .

Given its small size, Seabourn Pursuit will only partially make up for the lost passenger capacity caused by the removal of Seabourn Odyssey.

Goldring Travel

Is seabourn cruise line for sale i’m not the only one wondering.

I read an interesting article yesterday in Cruise Week , “ Report on CCL/Raising Cash “.  It states, in relevant part:

In a report out on Carnival Corp. this morning headlined “CCL-Don’t rule out selling a brand or two in order to raise cash/reduce debt” .  Patrick Scholes of Truist Securities writes, “ …While investors have been more focused on the possibility of debt and/or equity raise(s), we believe the possibility of selling one or more brands should not be overlooked….We reached out to CCL to inquire about such a sale(s) possibility and they gave us a high level reminder that they evaluate all opportunities at the right price (as has been the case when asked about such items in the past). …It would not surprise us if a private equity group and/or sovereign wealth fund would be interested in a brand such as Holland America and/or Seabourn .”

Cruise Week goes on to state, “This is not the first time we have heard of reports regarding brands potentially for sale. Last year we heard of Holland America and Seabourn perhaps for sale and Sycamore Partners [who ultimately purchased Azamara from Royal Caribbean] as a potential suitor as well. Nothing came out of it. “

So is Carnival Corp. stating that it is open to offers? That anything is for sale at the right price? Or is it that it doesn’t want to commit to retaining Seabourn?  

With Seabourn once being considered the Crown Jewel of the Carnival Corp. family, but now not exactly receiving a resounding show of love- knowing the rumors are out there –  let’s take a look!

I have often-times complained about Seabourn’s pricing strategies -as for years it focused on ridiculously high prices and then, as cruises came closer in, prices would drop and amenities would be added. This resulted in many thousands of dollars in booked cruises having to be repriced lower.  And, of course, Seabourn chasing the business that it sent away! There are basically – to my mind – only two realistically possible reasons for this:  (1) Overly optimistic views of demand and customer perception of Seabourn’s value; and/or (2) Making Seabourn’s financial prospective views look stronger than they really are. (Having the “potential” to sell at higher prices allows for showing more “potential” profits on the books.)

When this seemingly omnipresent practice is coupled with the infiltration of the Holland America and, now, Princess philosophies…which have little to do with delivering the best luxury experience, but rather   more homogeneity across the three brands , it again looks to the bottom line being more of a balance sheet sort of approach. And where the cost savings are is in the Pre-Cruise Experience which, without question, has suffered mightily over the past few years. 

But there is another factor that continues to make me wonder if Seabourn is for sale:  The lack of new cruise ships .  Yes, the Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit are eventually going to be out there, there is nothing publicly out there about new classic ships.  The Seabourn Ovation was launched in 2017 and the Seabourn Odyssey – though still in great shape – was launched way back in 2009; thirteen years ago. So while diversifying into the expedition world is one thing, Seabourn’s failure to expand in the luxury cruise world is of note.  

Keep in mind that the other luxury brands are all building not only new ships, but increased luxury cruise capacity. Heck, just two examples: Silversea has two new ships in service ( Silver Dawn – which was just christened last week – and Silver Moon – which is soon to be) along with the Silver Nova (late 2023). Regent Seven Seas recently launched the Seven Seas Splendor . Each of those ships has a greater guest capacity than both of the Seabourn expedition ships combined.

To color that further, Seabourn’s new “parent”, Princess, and its other “parent” Holland America both have new cruise ships.  What does that say about CCL’s commitment to – or is it confidence in – Seabourn’s near-term luxury cruise growth?

As I have written before,  almost all of the longtime Executives and many of the top hotel staff have left Seabourn ; mostly for other cruise lines. The consistent issue expressed is the corporate culture and the failure to treat them as valued and knowledgeable humans. The failure to retain those who are most committed to, and familiar with, a brand is not a sign of stability or focus on the future.

Add to that Seabourn’s recent practice of collecting the final payments on Seabourn Venture cruises when it knew the cruises would not be happening due to construction delays, and it really makes me wonder to what extent that troublesome practice was to glom guests’ money versus its effort to pad the balance sheet.  

To be fair, while there are some strong sales in the luxury cruise market, there is also a good bit of softness brought about not only by Covid, but the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the emotional recalcitrance of many to making what now seems like a giant leap back into international travel. 

I spent nearly two decades involved with Seabourn; most of them more than a mere travel agent. I have many friends that still work for Seabourn, and many clients that still have cruises booked with it. Obviously the past few years have been tough…and then rough. But that does not mean I wish Seabourn harm or that it cannot deliver the luxury experience that so many desire. 

What it means is that I believe Seabourn is for sale and that nothing could be better for the brand than it being sold. I stated my real concerns back when Seabourn was merged with Holland America and pretty much every concern I had has come to pass. And when the two of them were merged with Princess, it became clear that the focus was not on “product” but “profit”. And when the “profit” wasn’t forthcoming…here we are.

So while I still have a soft spot in my heart for Seabourn and firmly believe that Seabourn – if managed correctly and given enough of the proper support it deserves – can be what it’s reputation was built on, at this point all I can do is hope that the rumors are true.

The sale, which must be booked by Jan. 31, has savings on select Caribbean getaways, the company shared with Travel + Leisure . The sale offers travelers the chance to bundle Seabourn’s 15 percent Sail of the Year discount with an extra 10 percent discount for a total of up to 25 percent off.

"Seabourn's new Cold Weather promotion is an extraordinary opportunity for travelers seeking warmth and an escape from the cold weather in the USA,” Karen Thomas, the senior director of brand and external communications at Seabourn Cruise Line, shared with T+L, adding, “A Caribbean getaway with Seabourn is the perfect cure for the winter blues, as we take guests to marquee ports and hidden harbors, where they’ll be delighted by local culture, stunning beaches, and special signature events… It's an ideal time to make unforgettable memories aboard our ultra-luxury ships with a yacht-like atmosphere and leave the cold behind.”

To take advantage of the offer, travelers must live in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, or Canada.

Save big on sailings from Barbados, for example, with a 14-day journey on the Seabourn Ovation in March included in the sale featuring stops in Martinique, Guadeloupe, Antigua and Barbuda, and more.

In addition to savings on the fare, Seabourn’s Sail of the Year promotion includes the chance to score up to a $1,000 per suite shipboard credit, which can be used for things like special shore excursions. 

Seabourn , which is one of T+L readers’ favorite luxury cruise lines , offers all-inclusive sailings on small ships complete with complimentary premium spirits and fine wines, complimentary caviar, complimentary Wi-Fi thanks to  SpaceX's Starlink, and more.

Seabourn Suite Life event has been extended through March 31, 2023 for select 2023 sailings. It turns out that Alaska happens to be one of the areas that Seabourn is offering an extended sale for. Nearly all Alaska sailings for 2023 are on sale from May until October. Most are currently 15% off while some are upwards to 25% off! 

The most economical Seabourn Alaska cruise starts from just $2,200 per person before additional club savings. Choose between One-way 7-day departures on May 19-26 or Oct 6 -13, 2023 at this low price. While the May departure is just 15% off, the October sailing with Glacier Bay National Park is 33% off! Glacier Bay cruises are typically hundreds if not thousands more due to park fees and exclusivity which cruise lines know they can charge more for. I visited Glacier Bay National Park with Seabourn in late September and the park was absolutely stunning! This price is extremely attractive.

Plus if you’ve previously sailed with Seabourn we may be able to offer you additional savings on these Canadian Inside Passage and Alaska cruises. Other example of these amazing deals are below.

Seabourn Venture Sale

Enjoy an all-inclusive expedition outfitted with submarines, zodiacs, and kayaks plus the naturists and expedition team. Meet the ship in Nome, Alaska and enjoy 12 days exploring the Bering Strait and the inside passage. On all Expeditions, excursions are inclusive of the fare plus the charter flight from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska.

Seabourn Alaska Cruises

Seabourn’s Alaska cruises typically range from 7 to 14 days in length, with departures from either Jueanu, Alaska or Vancouver, Canada. On board, passengers can expect to enjoy luxurious amenities such as spacious suites, gourmet dining options, and a range of onboard activities and entertainment. Nearly all cabins on Seabourn ships are Veranda suites and there are no inside rooms. Meaning everyone gets a stunning view! 

One of the highlights of Seabourn’s Alaska cruises is the opportunity to witness some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world. All Seabourn Cruises either visit Glacier Bay National Park or Hubbard Glacier and Tracy Arm Fjord. Passengers can enjoy scenic cruising through some of Alaska’s and British Columbia’s most spectacular landscapes. Along the way, enjoy views of towering glaciers to cascading waterfalls, providing a sense of awe and wonder that is hard to match.

In addition to the scenery, Seabourn’s Alaska cruises offer opportunities to see unique wildlife up close. Last year while visiting Alaska I saw humpback whales, seals and bald eagles all from the ship! Alaska is home to a diverse range of animals that are not found anywhere else in the world and the expedition team will help you spot these animals on every cruise. 

Seabourn’s shore excursions offer the chance to witness these creatures in their natural habitat, with experiences such as whale watching and other wildlife viewing tours. Plus most Seabourn cruises offer ventures by Seabourn which includes the opportunity to kayak in waters alongside the whales. 

Of course, no Seabourn cruise would be complete without exceptional service. The staff and crew go above and beyond to ensure that every passenger feels pampered and well-cared-for. From attentive waitstaff to knowledgeable tour guides, the Seabourn team is there to make the experience as enjoyable as possible. Plus, what would a Seabourn cruise be without unlimited complimentary caviar and their signature Caviar on Ice event.
