A LETTER TO CLUB MEMBERS

Welcome to your second Seabourn Club Herald for 2019. As the summer continues our ships are scattered across the sun-swept regions of the Northern Hemisphere, making the most of the season’s warmth. Seabourn Odyssey guests are basking among the picturesque, pastel harbors of the Adriatic and the Greek Isles. Seabourn Sojourn is threading the spectacular forested waterways and waterfall-graced fjords of Alaska and British Columbia. Seabourn Quest’s Ventures by Seabourn team have been introducing guests to the breathtaking fjords and stunning snow-capped ranges of Iceland and Greenland in optional Zodiacs and kayaks. Seabourn Encore is languishing in the golden light of the Riviera’s glittering resorts and yacht harbors. Seabourn Ovation is heading out of the Baltic to cruise the far-flung British Isles and Western Europe’s imperial capitals. During the summer, we attended the exciting first cutting of steel for construction of the first of our two new ultra-luxury expedition ships, Seabourn Venture.

In this issue, you will find some enticing and informative articles about several more of the fascinating destinations waiting for you to discover in Seabourn’s extraordinary worlds. In Asia, Kate Wickers shares advice about seductive romantic attractions in scintillating Singapore. Richard Varr combs the Caribbean for the sort of keepsakes and mementos that recall fond memories long after you’ve returned home. Meanwhile, on the far side of the globe, Jane Jeffries reveals the spectacular natural features that make New Zealand one of our most exciting and memorable cruise destinations. Dr. Andrew Weil generously offers us the invaluable benefits of his extensive research into the neuroscience of happiness.

We hope you enjoy these articles and the other news from around Seabourn’s extraordinary worlds, and we hope to see you coming up the gangway again soon. Sincerely, Richard Meadows President
