PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Seabourn Academy offers you the opportunity to learn about one of the world’s finest ultra-luxury travel experiences, as well as how to find, attract and satisfy a luxury travel clientele that, properly served, will continue to provide you with an ongoing source of lucrative business year after year.

This training is meant to be self-administered. However all of us at Seabourn are ready and able to assist you at any time. We want you to succeed, so that we will succeed. If you are ready to start selling the world's finest ultra-luxury cruise line, you can start your training now. Go to  Create Account  to register or Sign In  and proceed to Courses if you already have an account. This is also a good time to whitelist seabournacademy@seabourn.com to ensure you receive emails from us. 

As the training program is self-administered, the length of time to complete Seabourn Academy training varies. We recommend you allocate a minimum of six hours to complete all the core courses (101 through 106). When you have completed a course and taken the exam, you may continue on to the next course or come back any time to complete the next course. The specialist course will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Optional courses vary in length.
