Seabourn Sets Revamp Program for Pride, Spirit and Legend

Capping off a year that saw the launch of its first new yacht in over a decade, the Yachts of Seabourn has embarked upon a multi-million dollar renovation of the original trio of its small-luxury fleet.

Seabourn Spirit has just completed a makeover, and Pride and Legend are planned to undergo extensive refurbishments during the coming year, transforming the look and feel of each vessel with open and airy interiors, modern embellishments, and richly colored contemporary on-deck furnishings.

In Miami, an award-winning international design firm recognized for its creative approach to commercial and residential spaces. The extensive work is being done during regularly scheduled periodic maintenance. With Spirit finished, Pride and Legend will head to dry dock in January 2010 and fall 2010, respectively.

Enhancements start in the Reception Lobby with honey-toned wood paneling, two-toned marble flooring and furnishings reupholstered in rich burgundy. The main show lounge is being transformed with cut-velvet banquettes in muted blues and taupe chairs beneath glittering stars.

In The Club, floral-motif carpeting plays off warm reds and burnt oranges while elegantly toned, matte stone panels invoke spaciousness throughout. The observation lounge features wrap-around windows illuminating new pale-green accents and soothing creams and beiges. New leather club chairs and sofas are accented with leaf-patterned throw pillows that echo the foliage theme in the carpeting.

In The Restaurant, celebrity Chef Charlie Palmer’s cuisine is presented in a room with understated elegance realized in handsome toffee-toned woods, caramel accents, dramatic sheer curtains striped horizontally in violet and gold interspersing muted purple drapes, and flooring finished in sumptuous golden stone with sage infusions. Meanwhile, the open decks are going modern with graceful new furniture of coffee-hued, powder-coated metal and chocolate-toned fabric.
