Goldring Travel January 7, 2016

Windstar Cruises can’t seem to get a break when it comes to the Star Pride. The Star Pride has a special place in my heart. She was my first Seabourn cruise; a three day sailing out of New York City. I have a shirt from her 1988 Inaugural Season hanging by my desk and a

Seabourn’s New Cruise Documents – A Real Touch of Class

Goldring Travel September 2, 2015

I just received Seabourn’s newest cruise documents which should start rolling out soon and am quite impressed both for their elegance and functionality. It is refreshing to see that Seabourn is bucking the trend of cutting back on or eliminating cruise documents by creating new and better ones! There is still a joy for many guests receiving
