Cruising on Seabourn is a special experience to begin with. As an ultra-luxury all-suites cruise line, the baseline is high. Cruising in a Seabourn Penthouse suite elevates that experience to the next level. We had the opportunity to experience this on Seabourn’s inaugural cruise to Alaska. This ultra-luxury experience on an ultra-luxury line is a very special…
We are in the initial week of the inaugural Seabourn Alaska sailing. While we are only at the halfway point and I have already honed in on several things our readers will love! Here are seven things I think everyone can agree are amazing about the Seabourn Alaska cruises. (You can read more about the…
Ultra-luxury cruise line Seabourn returns to Alaska on June 1 after a 15 year absence from the popular cruise market. Seabourn will offer a series of 11-, 12-, and 14-night sailings between June and September this year. The voyages will offer guests the unique opportunity to experience Alaska up-close with a handpicked expedition team. Guests on…
I am one of those emotional girls who does emotional things like crying on vacation. I cry when reading books. I cry when reading stories on Facebook. I cry watching movies (especially Love Actually). I cry walking through the arrivals hall at T5 at Heathrow. Every bloody time (blame Love Actually). So yes, of course…
I’ve recently experienced Ad Hoc by Thomas Keller at both the land-based Yountville restaurant and on the luxury cruise line Seabourn. The Ad Hoc concept has been a long-favorite of mine when visiting the Napa Valley but I wanted to understand how the current concepts stacked up against one another. You can read Part I:…
Last night I had the opportunity to review Ad Hoc by Thomas Keller as executed on Seabourn Quest. Yesterday I reviewed my experience at the land-based Ad Hoc in Yountville, California and also discussed the new Seabourn partnership with Thomas Keller. Much of the Ad Hoc experience appeals to the farm-to-table aesthetic that has been…
Ad Hoc by Thomas Keller has long been one of my favorite Napa Valley haunts. The casual eatery was originally designed as a temporary pop-up while Keller prepared a new casual concept but proved to be so popular that it has become a Yountville mainstay serving rotating family-style dinners five nights a week. In the…
I like Bali. The part I like most is the part that is less traversed. It seems like everyone has been to the southern part of the island. And more individuals have discovered Ubud since Elizabeth Gilbert put it on the map in Eat Pray Love. But a majority of visitors to this island paradise…
I love embarkation day on Seabourn – it always feels like “coming home” for me to be living the suite life once again! Compared to larger lines I have sailed, Seabourn makes the experience seamless which helps start a vacation off on a relaxing note. When we arrived at the Singapore Cruise Terminal (after initial…
One of the highlights of cruising on Seabourn are what aficionados like to call “Seabourn moments”. While Seabourn is known for her signature events such as Caviar in the Surf or Galley Market Lunches on some cruises, the staff also tries to come up with a variety of smaller occasions to wow their guests during every…
I don’t know about you, but I hate having to dig for things on the internet. While the Googley people love nothing more than to dig for treasure, I prefer to spend my screen time reading. I have a large trip coming up and want to be able to write about it without having to…
I leave on vacation in nine days. That means in about eight days, I will start packing. I don’t do much in advance which means I will invariably be tearing the house up looking for something less than ten minutes before I’m being picked up for the airport. What I have done in advance however…
