SEABOURN ANNOUNCES UPDATED RESTART DATES

SEATTLE, June 16, 2021 – Seabourn (http://www.seabourn.com/), the
ultra-luxury cruise line, continues to work with various government and port
officials to develop plans for a full return to cruising. As a result of the
current environment and travel restrictions that remain in place, the brand is
updating travelers on the restart dates for the five ships currently in its
fleet.

Based on these latest revisions, the Seabourn fleet restart is now planned as
follows:
* Seabourn Ovation – July 3, departing from Athens, Greece to operate in
the Greek Isles
* Seabourn Odyssey – July 18, departing from Bridgetown, Barbados to
operate in the Southern Caribbean
* Seabourn Quest – November 7, departing from Miami to begin the
Antarctica season (previously announced)
* Seabourn Sojourn – January 11, 2022, departing from Los Angeles to begin
the World Cruise
* Seabourn Encore – April 17, 2022, departing from Athens, Greece 
“We continue to assess the overall global situation so we can make
thoughtful, logical decisions about when each of our ships will restart,”
said Josh Leibowitz, president of Seabourn. “We know guests are beginning to
restart travel on some level in their personal lives and we look forward to
seeing them again as soon as possible, starting as early as this summer in
Greece and the Southern Caribbean.”

Seabourn Encore and Seabourn Ovation will not sail in Asia, Arabia or
Australia for the 2021-2022 fall or winter/spring seasons due to continuing
limitations in travel throughout those regions.  As such, the brand is
cancelling select departures on Seabourn Encore and Seabourn Ovation between
September 1, 2021 – April 26, 2022 to align with the overall restart plan.

Following the summer season in the Greek Isles, Seabourn Ovation will now sail
a selection of departures originally scheduled to operate on Seabourn Sojourn
from Oct. 9 - December 21, 2021. The ship will then begin the new year by
operating 12 brand-new sailings in the Caribbean/Panama Canal and Europe from
January through May 2022 before resuming its originally planned deployment in
the Western Mediterranean.  These new Seabourn Ovation sailings will be open
for booking on July 8, 2021. This will be the first time Seabourn Ovation
will call on the United States. 

Guests and travel advisors with impacted bookings will receive information on
rebooking, alternative sailing date options, opportunities for bonus future
cruise credits or full refunds. Specific offers and details vary by itinerary.
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.

The upcoming summer 2021 voyages on Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Odyssey are
open to any guests that are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Seabourn
intends for all team members working on board for these voyages to be
fully vaccinated and is actively implementing plans to meet that goal.
Specific vaccination requirements for other itineraries in 2021 and beyond
will be finalized closer to the sailing date in coordination with the
respective destinations. 

Operation of the upcoming Winter/Spring Antarctica Season, the 2022 World
Cruise, and other upcoming deployments are subject to change due to travel
restrictions.
