unesco world heritage cruise

If you think that cruise travel can’t be authentic, immersive and destination-focused, you’re looking in the wrong place. Our preferred travel partner, Seabourn, recently signed an agreement to extend its official partnership with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for another five years.

The partnership helps support UNESCO’s mission of safeguarding World Heritage. but it also gives Seabourn’s passengers deeper insight, unique access and behind-the-scenes information provided about the World Heritage sites and projects they visit. On select Seaborn sailings, expert speakers on World Heritage subjects join passengers as part of the line’s complimentary enrichment and entertainment program, called Seabourn Conversations.

And, it’s also a chance for you to do some good with your travel dollars. To date, Seabourn and its customers have contributed more than $1 million to UNESCO since 2014. That money protects and promotes the world’s most unique cultural and natural elements. And it also provides an enriching experience while traveling on one of Seaborn’s ultra-luxury small ships. Since the partnership’s initial formation, Seabourn has delivered visitors to discover hundreds of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The fares for these Seabourn excursions also include a donation made to UNESCO itself.

Seabourn’s fleet of five ultra-luxury, all-suite ships traverse the globe to many of the world’s most desirable destinations, and current itineraries can provide more than 250 shore experiences at over 170 UNESCO-designated sites. The cruise line has also created special World Heritage Discovery Tours at a number of ports worldwide. The intimate experience aboard its special vessels enables its guests’ to follow their passions in exploring exceptional destinations in a uniquely personal way.

If you’d like to experience one of these phenomenal itineraries for yourself, we’d love to help plan that for you. Just send us a note!
