Seabourn Launches 'Seabourn Moments' Contest on Facebook

SEATTLE, Oct. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Seabourn has launched a "Seabourn Moments" contest on Facebook, calling on the company's Facebook fans to share their most memorable Seabourn Moments.  The top story based on the judging criteria will win the entrant a seven-day Seabourn cruise for two in 2012.

A special Seabourn Moment can be a unique experience that occurred onboard, or an example of Seabourn's staff going above and beyond during a voyage, or even an outstanding, unforgettable experience ashore. It can be a romantic or emotional moment, a humorous incident, or an exciting occurrence. Seabourn fans will vote for their favorites and then a panel of judges will select the winner from the top vote-getters.  The "Seabourn Moments" contest will run from October 10 through November 7, 2011.

"Our guests have always told us about unexpected, exceptional moments they have experienced during their Seabourn cruises," said John Delaney, Seabourn's senior vice president, marketing and sales.
