SEABOURN SPIRIT The second of Seabourn’s intimate, all-suite vessels was launched in November, 1989. Built at the Schichau Seebeckwerft shipyard in Bremerhaven, Germany, Seabourn Spirit was christened by Aagot Brynestad, the mother of Seabourn founder Atle Brynestad. Seabourn Spirit’s 104 ocean-view suites quickly filled with eager travelers, attracted by the unique combination of features that had garnered praises for its sister-ship Seabourn Pride. A variety of lounges and bars, scaled for relaxed sociability, invite guests to get to know each other. Complimentary service of fine wines and spirits contributes to a convivial, club-like atmosphere both here and on the open teak decks, where guests find plenty of comfortable seating both in the sun and shade, and ever-attentive service including full bar service, fresh fruit smoothies and sherbets, mineral water spritzes, frozen towels and even sun lotion and sunglass cleaning. A pair of large whirlpool spas grace the sun deck, and a third one is set all the way forward on Deck 5, perfect for watching the world go by . On certain days in warm water destinations, the captain will anchor off an inviting stretch of beach and deploy the ship’s unique fold-out watersports Marina, creating a private island resort where guests can water-ski, sail, swim or snorkel right from the ship. Each Seabourn sister has a main show lounge capable of seating all guests, and an observation lounge with panoramic views on Deck 8 above the navigation bridge. The Club is a popular location for dancing before and after dinner, and into the night. Public rooms on Seabourn Pride, Seabourn Spirit and Seabourn Legend were extensively refurbished in 2010 with a fresh, contemporary flair that keeps them at the top of the rankings in the luxury cruise category.  CATEGORY SIZE DESC A1 277 sq ft (25 sq m) Oceanview Suite A 277 sq ft (25 sq m) Oceanview Suite B1 277 sq ft (25 sq m) Balcony Suite B2 277 sq ft (25 sq m) Balcony Suite B3 277 sq ft (25 sq m) Balcony Suite CS 400 sq ft (49 sq m) Classic Suite OW 575 st ft (54 sq m) Owner's Suite   Ship's Registry: The Bahamas Guest capacity: 208 Crew members: 164 Tonnage: 10,000 grt Length: 440 feet Breadth: 63 feet Cruising speed: 16 knots Guest Decks: 4 Elevators: 3 Maiden Voyage: 1988 Refurbished: 2007 Christened by: Aagot Brynestad Acquired: 1996
