Cruise lines are ramping up their tech-friendly amenities and marketing efforts this week in the cruise industry.
Seabourn has launched a new web app, Seabourn Source, that aims to enhance travelers’ experiences both onboard and ashore. Through the app guests can get information on the daily details of their voyage on their smartphone, tablet or laptop. The app includes daily activity and entertainment schedules, meal times, port times, spa and wellness information, shore excursion booking, account records and satellite Internet access. Guests can also use it to access Seabourn’s complimentary newspaper and magazine service, PressReader Offline.
The app is available on a complimentary basis onboard every Seabourn ship.
