You owe this trip to yourself
It’s easy to recognize why an experience like The Collection is so much more immersive and fulfilling – and fun! – than mere sightseeing and checking tourist sites off your list.

Plus, Seabourn guests have the added convenience of attending these events without having to lift a finger – far easier than trying to procure a coveted spot at these coveted events on your own.
The destinations on the itineraries of The Collection also allow for extended pre- and post-cruise tours of all sorts, weaving you even tighter into the cultural fabric of some of Europe’s most storied and fascinating cities.
The Tully Travel Designers are excited to partner with Seabourn to get you savoring some of life’s extraordinary travel moments first-hand.
