Seabourn is deepening its alliance with UNESCO, bringing more unique access and deeper insights onboard
We are thrilled to share that Seabourn has signed an agreement to extend our official partnership with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in a unique alliance to help protect World Heritage. The five-year extension will continue to foster wider support and understanding in the travel industry and among travelers for UNESCO’s mission of safeguarding and promoting the world’s unique cultural and natural heritage recognized for its outstanding universal value.
Seabourn and our guests have contributed more than $1 million (USD) to UNESCO since our partnership started in 2014 as a component of this partnership, providing a significant level of support to the organization and its mission.
“We’re incredibly proud to continue our relationship with UNESCO as their official cruise partner, building on the work we have completed together in recent years,” said Richard Meadows, president of Seabourn. “Together we share a common view that the preservation of cultural and historic sites around the world has lasting impact on travelers for generations to come.”
The UNESCO alliance means that your travels on Seabourn’s intimate, all-suite ships are richly enhanced by deeper insight, unique access and behind-the-scenes information about World Heritage sites and projects. Speakers with special knowledge about World Heritage join select sailings on our ships as a part of our complimentary Seabourn Conversations enrichment and entertainment program. In addition, fares for Seabourn optional excursions to UNESCO World Heritage Sites include a small donation to UNESCO. We offer more than 250 shore experiences at over 170 UNESCO designated sites and have also created special World Heritage Discovery Tours at a number of ports worldwide.
Seabourn enables your passion for exploring and learning more about the world’s most exceptional destinations. Since the partnership’s founding in 2014, Seabourn has facilitated visits to hundreds of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The financial support from Seabourn directly supports UNESCO’s efforts to promote and preserve these precious sites for future generations.
We hope you will join us on one of our cruises offering special access to UNESCO World Heritage sites around the world.
