Fleet
The company's fleet consists of six vessels, with two sets of three sister ships.
The first set, the Seabourn Pride, Seabourn Spirit, and Seabourn Legend, were built during the late 1980s and early 1990s. They are nearly identical and each weighs in at 10,000 tons.
In October 2006, Seabourn ordered three new, 32,000-ton luxury cruise ships from Genoa's T. Mariotti shipyard. The first, named Seabourn Odyssey entered service in 2009, followed by the Seabourn Sojourn in 2010 and the Seabourn Quest in June 2011. The three ships share most features.
It was announced on February 19, 2013 that Seabourn reached an agreement with Windstar Cruises for the sale of the three smaller Seabourn ships. Seabourn Pride will depart the fleet in April 2014, sisters Seabourn Legend & Seabourn Spirit will depart in April and May 2015, respectively. No cruises will be cancelled as the ships will sail with Seabourn until their initial dry dock periods. It is also expected for Seabourn to order a fourth sister ship to the Odyssey, Sojourn & Quest sometime within 2013, it will be a combined size of the Pride, Spirit and Legend sister.
