Seabourn 'Sisters' Slated for Multi-Million Dollar Makeovers

The three award-winning Yachts of Seabourn, Seabourn Pride, Spirit and
Legend, are undergoing multi-million dollar renovations during drydock
maintenance periods scheduled between September of 2007 and April of
2008. The renovations, which are the most extensive since balconies
were added to 36 of each ship's suites five years ago, include major
overhauls of two of the intimate ships' popular open-air alternative
dining venues, to increase seating capacities and enhance the options
for guests to enjoy evening entertainment "Under the Stars."

"As we prepare for the launch of Seabourn Odyssey, we are also
investing in the future of our existing fleet," said Pamela C.
Conover, Seabourn's president and CEO. "These enhancements will ensure
that our award-winning Seabourn Pride, Spirit and Legend will continue
to attract and satisfy the most discerning travelers," she continued.

The ships' indoor/outdoor Veranda Cafe, located all the way aft
overlooking the wake when the ship is underway, is converted each
evening into Restaurant 2, serving innovative tasting menus and themed
dinners in a casual setting. The renovation will enlarge the outdoor
section, increasing the venue's seating capacity and adding a graceful
new awning for enhanced weather protection and a dramatic touch of
style.

The Sky Bar, overlooking the sun deck and whirlpool spas, is a popular
gathering spot both day and night, where Sky Grill dinners are
occasionally served. During the renovation, twin staircases leading
from the deck below are being replaced with a single stairway,
allowing an increase in the deck space adjacent to the Sky Bar.
Existing fixed cocktail-sized tables are being replaced with more
versatile furniture, some of which can be removed to clear the deck
space for occasional on-deck entertainment and dancing.

Further features of the renovations include an upgrade of the bedding
in all guest suites, new carpets in many public areas, upgrades to the
treatment rooms in The Spa at Seabourn, and new furniture in the card
rooms and internet centers.

Seabourn Pride just completed the process in Germany. Seabourn
Spirit's turn will be at Singapore in January, 2008 and Seabourn
Legend's at Lisbon in April, 2008.

One change will be immediately visible as guests arrive to embark. The
ships' livery is being updated, with the decorative line along the
shear of the hull being changed from dark blue to black, and the
distinctive shield emblem on the ships' stacks highlighted in gold
rather than blue.

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.

Travelers can experience these Signature Delights on cruises of seven
to 28 days or more in Europe, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean,
Central and South America, Asia, India and Arabia. Cruise itineraries
explore landmark ports and lesser-known gems where larger ships cannot
go.
