To commemorate the two-vessel milestone, Seabourn hosted a virtual “Toast on Both Coasts” for team members, traveling Seabourn guests, travel advisors, media, and invited dignitaries on both ships.
Following the special toast, guests on Seabourn Pursuit enjoyed a taste of the ship’s onboard ultra-luxury travel experience, including a specially curated six-course dinner in The Restaurant, and a performance by renowned guitar duo, CH2, followed by a DJ party with Double Touch. The entertainment continued through the night in The Club and Constellation Lounge.
