Seabourn

Seabourn has long been recognised for ultra-luxury cruising, and its entry into the expedition space builds on that legacy. With purpose-built Polar Class ships, Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit, the brand combines its hallmark of personalised service with state-of-the-art exploration capability, bringing comfort and discovery together in the world’s most remote places.

The design of the expedition fleet reflects contemporary elegance. Suites are spacious, all with verandas, and finished with fine materials, neutral tones and intuitive layouts. Public spaces include observation lounges with floor-to-ceiling windows, expedition-ready mudrooms and multiple dining venues. The Club and Sky Bar provide social energy, while wellness areas — including a spa and fitness centre — emphasise restoration.

Dining is curated in collaboration with Chef Thomas Keller, offering menus that celebrate regional produce and global flavours. Guests can dine across several venues, from refined restaurants to more casual, convivial spaces. The all-inclusive model ensures premium wines, spirits and gratuities are seamlessly integrated.

Seabourn’s expedition program is distinguished by its breadth. Each ship carries a fleet of Zodiacs, kayaks and custom-built submarines for exploration above and below the water. Excursions include wildlife viewing, diving, cultural visits and expert-led hikes. An onboard expedition team of scientists, historians and naturalists enhances the experience with lectures, interpretation and storytelling.

Sustainability underpins the new fleet. Advanced propulsion systems, energy-efficient design and strict environmental protocols ensure compliance in sensitive regions. Seabourn also supports conservation organisations and contributes to citizen science initiatives through its programming.

As a global luxury brand with a strong loyal following, Seabourn brings its refined hospitality into expedition cruising without compromise. Guest feedback highlights the seamless integration of comfort, discovery and attentive service, reinforcing Seabourn’s position as a leader in the evolving expedition sector.
