Seabourn Legend

The Seabourn Legend is identical to her sister ships Seabourn Pride  and Seabourn Spirit, the latter gaining attention when she was attacked by pirates off the coast of Somalia, in November 2005. Like her sister ships, the Seabourn Legend is fitted with a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), designed as a non-lethal method to fend off attackers.

Seabourn’s highly inclusive onboard experience provides an array 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. Signature Delights include complimentary service of spirits and wines including French champagne throughout every cruise; award-winning cuisine designed by celebrity chef Charlie Palmer and served in the ships’ open-seating Restaurants; free Massage Moments for guests on deck; indulgent Pure Pampering therapeutic bathing selections from Molton Brown and an Exclusively Seabourn complimentary shore experience on every cruise.
