Imagine yourself on a sugar-white beach, lying in the warm sun.
Offshore, a sleek white ship floats on azure waters. A smiling waiter
approaches from the surf line, dressed in a crisp white uniform,

dream? It's one that can come true for you and a guest when you
embark on a week long Caribbean cruise aboard Seabourn Goddess I

You'll dine on exquisite cuisine hailed by Gourmet Magazine as the
finest afloat, and enjoy complimentary drinks throughout the cruise.
Your days and nights will be spent in a delightfully unstructured
atmosphere, where play is encouraged, but never programmed. Where
service is intuitive, nearly magical, and where you never need don
a tux or a tie. Swim or snorkel, sail or windsurf from the unique
water sports marina. Visit the bridge whenever you like, to see
what the course ahead holds in store. And, as a crowning touch,
enjoy our famous Caviar and Champagne in the Surf party. The value
