Seabourn ships to enter dry dock

Seabourn Spirit has just been fully refitted and Seabourn have now announced the refurbishment of Legend and Pride.
Pride and Legend will head to dry dock in January 2010 and Autumn 2010, respectively.
Enhancements begin in the Reception Lobby with honey-toned wood panelling, two-toned marble flooring and furnishings reupholstered in rich burgundy. Onboard entertainment spaces shine, with the main show lounge transformed with cut-velvet banquettes in muted blues and taupe chairs beneath glittering stars. In The Club, floral-motif carpeting plays off warm reds and burnt oranges while elegantly toned, matte stone panels invoke spaciousness throughout.

In The Restaurant, celebrity Chef Charlie Palmer’s cuisine is presented in a rich, yet understated elegance realized in handsome toffee-toned woods, creamy caramel accents, dramatic sheer curtains striped horizontally in violet and gold interspersing muted purple drapes, and flooring finished in sumptuous golden stone with sage infusions. Meanwhile, the open decks are going modern with graceful new furniture of coffee-hued, powder-coated metal and chocolate-toned fabric.

Seabourn has always been Andrew Gardener, Cruise.co.uk’s chairman favourite cruise line and now with these enhancements, the new Seabourn Odyssey and launch of Seabourn Sojourn in 2010, they are defiantly a cruise line to try. Now is the time to treat yourself.
