Seabourn touts unique shore experiences in 'The Collection'

This series of exclusive sailings starts with western Mediterranean voyages on the purpose-built expedition ship Seabourn Venture in 2025. Expedition experiences won't be offered on these cruises, which take place before the ship returns to its expedition-focused voyages later in the year.

'The Collection' will offer a combination of luxury and special interests.

Monte Carlo Masters and Barcelona Open

The 2025 voyages include two seven- and eight-day 'Mediterranean Marvels & Matches' sailings between Barcelona and Civitavecchia (Rome) with overnights and tickets to the Monte Carlo Masters and Barcelona Open tennis tournaments.

The eight-day cruise, April 5, includes an overnight in Monte Carlo and upper-level tickets to the Monte Carlo Masters quarterfinal, where the ATP 1000 event unfolds at the Monte Carlo Country Club. The seven-day cruise, April 13, includes an overnight in Barcelona and tickets to the Barcelona Open semifinal, an ATP-500 event at the historic Real Club de Tenis Barcelona 1899.

Seville flamenco

There are also two 10-day 'Andalusian Nights' sailings between Barcelona and Lisbon featuring an overnight in Seville and an exclusive shoreside cultural event with dinner, a private flamenco dance performance at the iconic Villa Luisa. The sailings are March 26 and April 20.

Bordeaux wine château dinner

Rounding out the program is an eight-day 'Vineyard Vista' cruise between Lisbon and Dublin with an overnight in Bordeaux and an exclusive wine-centered shoreside event. The April 30 cruise features an intimate evening at Château Smith Haut-Lafitte with a dinner amid the vine-covered hills.

'The Collection' voyages qualify for Seabourn's 'A Sale Beyond Event,' which offers a two-category veranda suite upgrade and up to $2,000 per suite on-board credit. The promotion is available through April 30.
