SEATTLE, May 8, 2012 --- From the beautiful Greek Isles to the quaint towns along the Dalmatian Coast and historic ports in Turkey, three of Seabourn’s six intimate, award-winning ships will visit a fascinating and diverse collection of ports this summer and fall. Seabourn’s 2012 Europe Suite Sale is offering savings up to 50 percent or more, plus other valuable benefits for travelers booking Eastern Mediterranean voyages aboard Seabourn Odyssey, Seabourn Quest or Seabourn Spirit. The three ships offer travelers an unprecedented flexibility in departure dates, length of cruises and itineraries.
In addition to the savings, guests will also enjoy complimentary veranda upgrades, air credits from select U.S. & Canadian gateways on select cruises, and shipboard credits on bookings of penthouse and premium category suites.
