What is the Seabourn dress code?

Seabourn embraces an Elegant Casual atmosphere throughout all voyages. Daywear is relaxed resort attire. After 6:00 PM, public areas and fine-dining venues require Elegant Casual (slacks and collared shirts for men; elegant dresses or pantsuits for women). Formal Optional evenings are held only on select sailings longer than seven days in The Restaurant, while casual venues remain open.

Are shore excursions included in the Seabourn cruise fare?

On Seabourn Ocean voyages (Quest, Encore, Ovation), shore excursions are not included in the base fare, but Vincent Vacations guests receive a complimentary $300-$500 Shipboard Credit or Private Car & Guide tour in select ports. On Seabourn Expedition voyages (Venture, Pursuit), all Zodiac cruises, guided wildlife walks, hikes, and sea kayaking are 100% complimentary and included.

Are gratuities really included on Seabourn cruises?

Yes, absolutely. Tipping is neither required nor expected aboard any Seabourn vessel. All gratuities for suite hosts, dining staff, sommeliers, and shipboard personnel are fully covered in your cruise fare.
