Seabourn's 'Chefs' Circle' Cruises for 2005 Announced

- Award-Winning Chefs Gathered From the Four Corners of North America

MIAMI, March 28
Chef/restaurateur Charlie Palmer and Seabourn Cruise Line have
gathered some of the finest practitioners of the culinary arts in
North America for the third annual "Chefs' Circle" series of cruises.
The quartet of cuisiniers participating this year command kitchens
located almost literally on the four corners of the continent.

Representing the burgeoning Pacific Northwest food scene is Rob
Feenie, whose Relais Gourmands flagship Lumiere in Vancouver is
unanimously cited on both sides of the border as one of Canada's
finest restaurants. Chef Feenie will join Seabourn Spirit on a
seven-day cruise departing Rome on August 28, visiting Capri and
Taormina, Italy; Katakolon (Olympia), Itea (Delphi), Corinth Canal and
Navplion (Mycenae), Greece.

One of the paragons of South Florida's red-hot culinary revolution,
Robbin Haas has had a talented hand in many of the area's hottest
properties including Baleen and Raku. His latest Latin-inspired eatery
is Chispa, Spanish for "spark." Chef Haas sails on Seabourn Legend on
August 28, from Rome to Monte Carlo via Porto Cervo, Sardinia; La
Goulette, Tunisia; Palermo, Sorrento, Giannutri Island, Italy; and
Nice, France.

Mary Sue Milliken, with her partner Susan Feniger, has provided great
food and good fun at their Border Grills in Santa Monica and Las Vegas
and the Pan- Latin Ciudad, in Los Angeles. They are also the Food
Network's popular "Too Hot Tamales." Chef Milliken will join Seabourn
Legend on October 2, from Monte Carlo to Barcelona with visits to Le
Lavandou and Cannes, France; Menorca, Mallorca and Valencia, Spain.

Anne Desjardins created a charming small hotel and restaurant called
L'Eau a la Bouche in the Laurentian village of Ste-Adele, Quebec. Her
talent has earned it a coveted membership in Relais Gourmands. Chef
Desjardins will join Seabourn Spirit on a November 25 cruise round
trip from Singapore to Bangkok and Ko Kood, Thailand; Nha Trang and Ho
Chi Minh City, Vietnam; Kuantan and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Each of these guest chefs will give cooking demonstrations and
tastings on board, and signature dishes from their repertoires will be
served on a special dinner one night in the ship's open-seating
Restaurant. With Early Booking Savings of up to 30 percent, fares for
these Chefs' Circle cruises start from $4,287 per person, based on
double occupancy of a 277-square foot ocean-view suite.

Guests on any of these Chefs' Circle cruises will enjoy 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: Seabourn Pride, Spirit and Legend.
Signature Delights include complimentary service of spirits and wines
including French champagne throughout every cruise, gourmet cuisine
created by celebrity chef Charlie Palmer, indulgent Pure Pampering
therapeutic bathing selections from Molton Brown and an Exclusively
Seabourn complimentary shoreside experience on every cruise.

Seabourn has been honored on every Conde Nast Traveler Gold List and
placed at the top of the luxury cruise category by readers of such
prestigious magazines as Departures, published exclusively for
American Express Platinum and Centurion Card members; the United
Kingdom newspaper The Telegraph and the annual Travel Star survey of
Swiss travel agencies. For information, contact a travel agent.
