SEABOURN Cruise Line’s fleet strategy, which has seen it agree to sell two vessels in the past year-and-a-half, will right-size the brand for the future, president Mark Tamis (pictured) said.
The cruise line has recently flipped two of its vessels to new Japanese luxury brand Mitsui Ocean Cruises: Seabourn Odyssey (CW 12 Dec 2024), which was delivered just over 12 months ago, and Seabourn Sojourn (CW 06 Mar 2025), which will be delivered this May.
Following the departure of Sojourn, which is currently sailing a world voyage visiting Australia (CW 06 Mar), Tamis told Cruise Weekly Seabourn’s fleet will be the ideal size and make-up for the brand’s personality.
The line’s fleet will number five following Odyssey’s sale.
“One of the reasons Seabourn has always been special is the scale and the size (of the brand),” Tamis said.
“When we look back in the history at the size of the fleet versus the profitability, it can really feel like we’re going to be perfectly sized for a strong future,” he enthused.
Tamis added although Seabourn has no current ships on order, a new vessel is something the line is “working toward”. MS
