ON TOP OF THE WORLD AT SEA LEVEL

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, bearing a chilled glass of champagne, just for you. Sound like a 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 or II. You'll share your casual luxury yacht with just 57 other couples, visiting Seabourn's Uncommon Caribbean -- those yachtsmen's hideaways and secluded coves that only our intimate ships can attain. 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 of this unforgettable one-week vacation is approximately $7,998.
