Seabourn Joins Sabre to Connect Travel Agents and Travelers with Ultra-Luxury Cruise Experiences
SEATTLE - August 10, 2017 - Seabourn is expanding their reach to
millions of travelers in the U.S. and Canada by joining the Sabre travel
marketplace, one of the largest e-commerce platforms connecting suppliers and
buyers worldwide. Travel agents subscribed to Sabre will now have the ability
to book the full inventory of Seabourn via Sabre Cruises, an intuitive booking
capability within the Sabre Red Workspace.
Sabre's cruise interface will allow agents to browse ships within a
graphics-rich reservation workflow, to shop and book Seabourn's itineraries to
all seven continents and more than 300 hidden harbors and marquee ports around
the globe. In addition, travel agents can get detailed information about the
line's unique offerings, amenities and pricing. The e-commerce agreement will
also provide Sabre-connected agents with a seamless experience to book a voyage
online aboard one of Seabourn's fleet of ultra-luxury ships.
"We are proud to join the Sabre travel marketplace to provide our global
travel professional partners with an additional valuable resource to access and
book our award-winning cruises," said Chris Austin, Seabourn's senior vice
president of global marketing and sales. "We value the travel agency
community, who have a breadth of knowledge and expertise, and this
collaboration will help them grow their business and sales."
"The Sabre agency platform and Cruise API's will significantly increase
the exposure of Seabourn collection of cruises, ships, personalized services
and fine amenities among an influential community of travel agents," said
Traci Mercer, senior vice president of Lodging, Ground and Sea in Sabre Travel
Network. "With this additional and enhanced cruise content from Seabourn,
we continue to enrich our comprehensive inventory and deliver more choice for
travel agents in North America."
As the newest ultra-luxury fleet in the industry, Seabourn's intimate ships
offer key elements that set the line apart: spacious, thoughtfully appointed
suites, most with verandas and all 100 percent ocean front; superb dining in a
choice of venues including The Grill by Thomas Keller; differentiated evening
experiences in partnership with Sir Tim Rice; Spa & Wellness with Dr. Andrew
Weil; open bars throughout the ship; fine wines poured at lunch and dinner;
award-winning service and a relaxed, sociable atmosphere that makes guests feel
right at home onboard. The ships travel the globe to many of the world's most
