SEABOURN ANNOUNCES UPCOMING VOYAGE CANCELLATIONS FOR THREE SHIPS AS PART OF
PAUSE IN GLOBAL SHIP OPERATIONS

SEATTLE, August 10, 2020 – Seabourn (http://www.seabourn.com/), the
ultra-luxury travel experience, announced today that it will cancel upcoming
voyages for three cruise ships in its fleet as a part of its pause in global
ship operations.  

The announcement applies to Seabourn Encore, Seabourn Ovation, and Seabourn
Sojourn with each ship having a different “effective through” date.
Specific details are as follows:
* Seabourn Encore: with its operations pause effective through November 25,
2020.
* Seabourn Ovation: with its operations pause effective through December 20,
2020.
* Seabourn Sojourn: paused through World Cruise 2021, with its operations
pause effective through May 24, 2021.
The brand had previously announced a pause in its global ship operations from
March 14 to November 20, 2020, depending on the ship, effectively cancelling
all voyages scheduled to operate during that timeframe. The decision to cancel
additional voyages is a proactive action to deal with the circumstances
continuing to evolve from the global response to the COVID-19 situation.

“We’ve been saying for some time that our resumption of service will come
gradually, and this action reflects that discussion. The health, safety and
well-being of our guests, crew and the people in destinations we visit remain
a top priority,” said Josh Leibowitz, president of Seabourn. “Like many
who watch the travel industry, we are encouraged by the signs emerging around
the world that point to travel’s progress toward return. When our expert
science and medical advisors and our destinations support the ability to
resume travel on Seabourn, we’ll be ready.”

Seabourn will be communicating changes for voyages scheduled to depart in the
extension timeframe with all booked guests and their travel advisors.

Guests currently confirmed on Seabourn Sojourn’s 2021 World Cruise will be
automatically re-accommodated in the same suite on Seabourn Sojourn’s 2022
World Cruise, at rate paid, within 30 days.

Guests with impacted cruises (except World Cruise 2021) will automatically be
cancelled and all guests will receive Bonus Future Cruise Credits. They can
also request a full refund of monies paid to Seabourn. Specific details are as
follows:
* Paid in Full: those guests paid in full will receive 125% Future Cruise
Credit of the base cruise fare paid to Seabourn. Guests can also request a
full refund of the monies paid to Seabourn.  
* Under Deposit: those guests with bookings under deposit will receive a
Future Cruise Credit valued at 125% of the deposit amount paid. Guests can
also request a full refund of the monies paid to Seabourn.   
The Future Cruise Credit is valid for 12 months from the date of issue and
may be used to book sailings departing through Dec. 31, 2022. The amount of
non-cruise fare purchases may be transferred to a new
booking. Alternatively, guests may request a refund of the monies paid to
Seabourn, which will be reimbursed to the original form of payment.  

Guests and their travel advisors will be sent specific details applicable to
their booking. Seabourn asks guests and travel advisors to use the online
resources available on its website first rather than calling the Reservation
Call Center for information about the cancellations due to the possibility
of high call volumes and the potential of long on-hold wait times.
