Seabourn also wins for Best Accommodations and Best Spa Facilities
|
SEATTLE, Readers of Porthole Cruise Magazine have once again named Seabourn the “Best Luxury Line” in its 2014 Readers’ Choice Awards for the sixth consecutive year. Porthole’s readers also ranked the cruise line’s spacious, ocean-view suites as the “Best Accommodations” at sea, and The Spa at Seabourn as the “Best Spa Facilities.”
“We are very honored to have earned the recognition of Porthole Cruise Magazine‘s savvy and knowledgeable readers as the leader in three significant categories,” said Richard D. Meadows, president of Seabourn. “These honors are a testament to our hardworking, dedicated staff members, who consistently deliver exceptional travel experiences that exceed our guests’ expectations.”
Porthole is the leading consumer cruise magazine by subscription and on newsstands, with a readership of over 540,000 for its bi-monthly print and digital editions. For more on the magazine’s 16th annual Readers’ Choice Awards, determined by thousands of readers and online fans, see the November/December 2014 issue or visit Porthole.com.
Seabourn’s intimate ships offer key elements that set the line apart: spacious, thoughtfully appointed suites, most with verandas; superb dining in a choice of venues; open bars throughout the ship; fine wines poured at lunch and dinner; the aforementioned award-winning service and a relaxed, sociable atmosphere that makes guests feel right at home on board. The ships travel the globe throughout the year, sailing to many of the world’s most desirable destinations, including marquee cities, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and lesser-known ports and hideaways.
Seabourn has earned many honors over the years, including a string of five awards as the “Best Small-Ship Cruise Line” in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice poll and six “World’s Best Small-Ship Cruise Line ” awards from the readers of Travel + Leisure. In addition, Seabourn has been named “Best Culinary Cruise Line” from the editors of Saveur in its Culinary Travel Awards for two consecutive years.
