Often called "Rolls Royce of the cruise industry" the intention of Seabourn Cruise Line has always been to offer the most luxurious top-of-the-line cruises on the most elegant ships to worldwide destinations to satisfy the demands of the most discriminating passengers. The ships fall into a special category - small enough to be exclusive and large enough to offer all the facilities of a large cruise ship. All the passengers are very high income experienced and sophisticated travelers accustomed to the best, they know and understand quality and their expectations are high. Most of them are from North America, the rest - from Britain, Germany, Switzerland and all over the world. Seabourn Cruise Line was launched in 1987 as an ultra-luxury cruise operator. Originally the name Signet Cruises was planned, but later the company decided to change it to Seabourn Cruise Line. The company's original two cruise ships were later joined by the similar Seabourn Legend. In 1991 already, Carnival Corporation acquired a stake in Seabourn Cruises and later took over the line. In 1999, the ships Seabourn Sun and the two Seabourn Goddesses joined the fleet from sister company Cunard Line. In mid-2001, Seabourn Goddess I & II were sold again, however, and the larger Seabourn Sun was transferred to sister company Holland America Cruise Line in April, 2002. Seabourn markets its cruise ships as "The Yachts of Seabourn" and the ultra luxury ships do in fact feel like private yachts. The 208-passenger sister ships Seabourn Legend, Seabourn Pride and Seabourn Spirit are nearly identical, and all create an intimate environment where wealthy passengers can unwind with their peers, enjoy fine dinner cuisine and solicitous service, and visit exotic ports around the world. There are also two new-build sister ships in the Seabourn fleet - the 450-passenger Seabourn Odyssey and Seabourn Sojourn.
Reading the company's and passengers' profiles, it is not very hard to figure out how strict the requirements are when it comes to selecting new employees. Whoever has the qualities and experience needed though, will enjoy the highest salaries, the most prestiges working conditions and the most interesting itineraries in the cruise industry. As the other leaders in the ultra-luxury cruise market (Crystal Cruises, Radisson Seven Seas Cruises and Silversea Cruises), Seabourn Cruise Line is one of the most highly recommended for employment.
