Seabourn Legend Will Return to Caribbean for Winter 2010-2011 Season

I've been sailing on the beautiful new Seabourn Odyssey this past week. We have had a marvelous cruise experience, and I'll be adding photos and information on the new ship over the next couple of months. She's definitely a "winner"!

While I was on the Seabourn Odyssey, The Yachts of Seabourn announced an itinerary change for the Seabourn Legend. The company will not operate a planned five-month, 15-cruise series of voyages in the Indian Ocean aboard the 208-guest Seabourn Legend in late 2010 and early 2011. The vessel will instead be positioned back to the Americas at the end of its Mediterranean season to cruise in the Caribbean for the winter.

Although the Indian Ocean ports remain apparently safe, continuing security issues on the high seas have caused the cruise line to make the change. Seabourn enthusiasts looking for exotic itineraries still have a great selection from which to choose. Seabourn Spirit will depart the Mediterranean in November of 2010, sailing through Egypt, the Suez Canal, the Red Sea and Oman to Dubai. Spirit will then continue via India, Thailand and Malaysia to Singapore, to begin a season of cruises exploring Bali, Borneo, Java and the myriad islands of the Java, Flores and Savu Seas. The intimate vessel will even venture southward to Australia's Northern Territories and Great Barrier Reef. Seabourn Pride, meanwhile, will be cruising in Asia for the full year, and in the autumn will be sailing in China, Thailand and Vietnam, with included or optional extensions to Beijing, Guilin, Cambodia and Laos and the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.
