Seabourn, headquartered in Seattle, is a pioneer of ultra-luxury, small-ship cruising. With ships accommodating 450 to 600 guests, the line delivers an experience that is intimate yet expansive, combining personalised service with wide-ranging itineraries across the globe.

Onboard, Seabourn’s design is characterised by spacious suites, nearly all with verandas, and elegant public areas that balance sociability with privacy. The culinary offering is central, with dining concepts developed in partnership with world-renowned chefs. Menus celebrate both international and local flavours, while multiple venues provide variety and flexibility. Wellness and enrichment are equally prioritised, with spas, fitness centres and curated cultural programming.

Destination immersion is a hallmark of the brand. Shore excursions connect guests with local culture, nature and communities, often through exclusive access or small-group experiences. Ventures by Seabourn, led by expert expedition teams, extend this approach into expedition-style cruising, bringing guests closer to remote environments such as Antarctica and the Arctic.

Positioned as a leader in the ultra-luxury segment, Seabourn appeals to travellers who value both comfort and discovery. Its guest profile reflects those who seek personalised service, refined design and a global breadth of itineraries, from marquee destinations to off-the-beaten-track ports.

Sustainability is a clear focus. Seabourn has committed to reducing emissions, eliminating single-use plastics, and implementing advanced wastewater treatment. Partnerships with conservation organisations support marine and wildlife protection, while shore programs are designed to foster meaningful community engagement.
With its blend of intimacy, elegance and global reach, Seabourn remains one of the most recognised names in ultra-luxury ocean cruising.
