stan01 Posted February 17 #1 Share Posted February 17 (edited) Received email with subject: "Announcing the Collection, Seabourn's New Invite-only Cruising Experience" With a link to a somewhat expensive 10 day trip Lisbon to Barcelona on Venture, then also some shorter Med cruises. We typically do not take 7, 8 or 10 day Med cruises (too far to fly for a short trip, more children on board, back to backs take away a day of enjoyment). There isn't a lot of information about this, anyone know what the advantages of a Collection cruise are beyond a normal Seabourn cruise?

jdk-atlga Posted February 17 #2 Share Posted February 17 I also received the email. I currently have a booked Barcelona to Rome for May 2025 on SB Ovation. Overall, I much prefer that itinerary over the Venture offering. Also, the new pricing is significantly higher on Venture, although the smaller ship is a positive. It is good, however, that SB is trying some new things. Best, jdk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthtones Posted February 17 #3 Share Posted February 17 It looks like these "Collection" sailings include an overnight land package visiting something special along the way--tennis tournaments, wineries, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robisan Posted February 17 #4 Share Posted February 17 Non-personalized listserv emails offering "invite-only" cruises might be peak Seabourn home office. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markham Posted February 18 #5 Share Posted February 18 Who is responsible for these marketing emails? And more to the question of managing the brand, could he/she/they just stop the nonsense? Maybe take an extended holiday somewhere remote and inaccessible? Just sayin’ Happy and healthy sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techno123 Posted February 18 #6 Share Posted February 18 (edited) Looks like they are including some 'special' shore excursions rather than pre/post cruise extensions (such as those offered by Regent). Could be something similar to say the evening Ephesus trip when visiting Kusadasi (but that is only a guess 😁). We are excited to introduce The Collection, a series of special, invitation-only sailings that complement the unparalleled experiences on our ultra-luxury ships with unique, one-of-a-kind shoreside experiences that bring the best of Seabourn’s moments together with a deeper exploration of the extraordinary experiences you’re passionate about.
