Seabourn Announces 'Writers' Circle' Caribbean Cruises

Travel + Leisure Contributing Editors are Special Guests on Two Autumn Voyages

MIAMI, July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The ultra luxury, all-suite Seabourn Pride will host two special "Writers' Circle" Caribbean cruises sailing round-trip from Barbados in November and December, offering guests opportunities to share their voyages with accomplished authors and journalists who are both Contributing Editors at Travel + Leisure, the world's leading travel magazine.

"Seabourn is all about sharing voyages with interesting shipmates and celebrating the good things in life," notes Seabourn president Deborah L. Natansohn, "and that includes good writing." According to Natansohn, "Our Writers' Circle cruises will ensure that our guests are in good company as they explore the most beautiful destinations in the Caribbean."

On the cruise departing November 25, guests will enjoy the company of prolific and provocative author and journalist Michael Gross, whose penetrating expose "Model: The Ugly Business of Beautiful Women" was a New York Times bestseller. Gross will be sharing insights from, and signing copies of his latest book: "740 Park," the inside story of New York's richest, most prestigious and secretive cooperative apartment building and the people who live there, a book which Fortune described as "jaw-dropping apartment porn."

Guests choosing the same itinerary departing on December 9 will enjoy the hilariously off-kilter perspectives of "investigative humorist" Henry Alford. Among other works, Alford is the author of "Big Kiss: One Actor's Desperate Attempt to Claw His Way to the Middle." Expect subversive excerpts from famous cookbooks and obituaries, word games combining slang terms from rap music and English fox-hunting, and translations from foreign language phrase books that may not prove useful, but will tickle your funny bone. Both cruises depart Bridgetown, Barbados with port calls at Gustavia, St. Barts; Marigot, St. Martin; Charlestown, Nevis; Fort-de-France, Martinique and Bequia, Grenadines.

At Charlestown, all guests will enjoy a complimentary Exclusively Seabourn tropical garden party with afternoon tea and an island fashion show at the beautiful Botanical Gardens of Nevis.

With special savings of 50%, fares starts from $2,298 per person, double occupancy. The Yachts of Seabourn provide the ultimate in ultra luxury cruise vacations to the most desirable destinations on earth.
