Seabourn Pride is one of three German-built 5-star cruise ships, owned and run by the Seabourn Cruise Line. The Seabourn Pride was the first of her class, and set out on her maiden voyage in November, 1988, after being christened by Shirley Temple Black.
During 2005, she was refurbished along with the other two vessels in Seabourn Cruise Line, to keep up with the luxurious image of the Seabourn cruises.
She is identical to her sister ships Seabourn Legend and Seabourn Spirit, the latter gaining attention when she was attacked by pirates off the coast of Somalia, in November 2005. Like her sister ships, the Seabourn Pride is fitted with a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), designed as a non-lethal method to fend off attackers.
In 2006, a Forbes.com article declared Pride's New Year cruise as the most expensive in the category [1]
