Seabourn's European Tours Satisfy Activity Appetite!

[Ray Goldenberg]

MIAMI,
Ultra luxury cruise pioneer Seabourn Cruise Line has created a
European "Adventure Collection" of shore excursions that offer its
guests opportunities to feel the burn while seeing the sights in ports
of call from Norway to the Greek Isles. The adventurous, active
experiences are designed to satisfy vacationers who believe that
sybaritic shipboard indulgences like the line's sumptuous dinners and
herb-scented bubble baths should be complemented by a certain amount
of vigorous exertion.


For example, Seabourn offers guided bicycle excursions in Madeira;
Sardinia; Taormina, Sicily; Florence, Athens, Helsinki, around
Stockholm's Royal Djurgaarden park and, in Denmark, at Skagen and on
the island of Bornholm. Guests are also offered chances to explore the
French island of Corsica, the slopes of Sicily's Mt. Etna, the Greek
isle of Corfu and the vineyards and flower fields of Provence on
mountain bikes.


For those seeking something even more strenuous, Seabourn offers
excursions involving the popular European activity called "canyoning,"
in which participants swim, jump, climb, rappel and float down scenic
river canyons, one located near Nice, France and another at the
Alcantara Gorge on the island of Sicily.


A variety of guided walking tours are available in nearly twenty of
the line's European ports of call, including cliff walks on the isle
of Guernsey; walking the moors of Dartmoor from Plymouth, England;
exploring the Art Nouveau section of Aalesund, Norway on foot;
following Cezanne's footsteps from Nice, strolling Barcelona's Gothic
Quarter, an "insider's" walking tour of Mykonos and volcano hiking on
Santorini.


Some Adventure Collection excursions feature highly specialized
activities, such as a sea-kayaking tour of the waters around
Dubrovnik, sailing on the Turkish coast and a truffle-hunting
expedition near Rovinj on Croatia's Dalmatian Coast.


Adventure Collection tours are offered in Europe along with Seabourn's
award-winning "Signature Series" tours, which often feature privileged
entry into museums and other attractions when they are closed to the
general public, exclusive receptions with local dignitaries, or
introduction to fascinating local features that are well known to
insiders, but remain off the typical tourist's itinerary.


Back on board, Seabourn's active guests will appreciate the ship's
fully- equipped, sea-view gym and the award-winning Spa at Seabourn,
even as they enjoy a continuing series of thoughtful enhancements to
shipboard and shoreside services called Signature Delights that add
luxury and value for guests aboard the three 208-guest Yachts of
Seabourn: Seabourn Pride, Spirit and Legend. Signature Delights
include free Massage Moments on deck; complimentary service of spirits
and wines including French champagne throughout the cruise, gourmet
cuisine created by celebrity chef Charlie Palmer, indulgent Pure
Pampering therapeutic bathing selections from Molton Brown and an
Exclusively Seabourn complimentary shoreside experience on every
cruise.

Traveler magazine's Gold List and placed at the top of the luxury
cruise category by readers of such prestigious magazines as
