SEABOURN ANNOUNCES CANCELLATION OF ALL 2021 ALASKA/BRITISH COLUMBIA VOYAGES

SEATTLE, February 23, 2021 – Seabourn (http://www.seabourn.com/), the
ultra-luxury cruise line, is maintaining its optimism for the ultimate restart
of travel while, in the meantime, continuing to take a practical approach in
extending its current operational pause. As a result of the Canadian Transport
Ministry’s Interim Order that closed Canadian ports and waters to passenger
vessels, the brand is cancelling its 2021 Alaska/British Columbia departures.

The cancellation announcement applies to a total of 19 voyages scheduled
aboard Seabourn Odyssey in summer 2021 between Vancouver, Canada and Juneau,
Alaska, including one Pacific Coast voyage at the end of the season. 

Guests with bookings affected by this announcement are being given as much
notice as possible to provide them with greater clarity around their travel
plans.

“Our highest priorities are compliance, environmental protection and the
health, safety and well-being of our guests, crew and the people in
destinations we visit,” said Josh Leibowitz, president of Seabourn. “We
have heard from many guests and they are eager to travel, seeing positive
developments starting to take hold that will eventually lead to our return to
service.”

Guests with impacted cruise bookings will automatically be cancelled and
re-booked to a comparable 2022 voyage at the rate paid plus current amenities.
Once Seabourn has completed the booking transfer, if the guest would prefer an
alternative option, they can also request a full refund of monies paid to
Seabourn to the original form of payment or to be transferred to a new
booking.  

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.

For reservations or more information about Seabourn, please contact Seabourn
at 1-800-929-9391 or visit www.seabourn.com.
