This upcoming collection is a testament to the brand’s roots and future direction, harmonizing its history of small-ship luxury with fresh destinations, new itineraries, and an expanded array of offerings that enhance the marriage of luxury and exploration.

Celebrating 40 Years at Sea: The Ruby Jubilee

The 2028 season will be a highlight for Seabourn as it ushers in the Ruby Jubilee to celebrate four decades of pioneering small-ship luxury. All sailings throughout the year will be enriched with special onboard enhancements inspired by the company’s 40-year legacy.
