Seabourn's New Expedition Launch for 2028-2029

Seabourn, renowned for its luxurious cruising experiences, has announced the opening of its 2028-2029 expedition voyage collection. This latest offering, which is particularly special as it coincides with the company’s 40th anniversary, includes an extraordinary Grand Expedition from pole to pole and enhanced itineraries for Arctic adventures.

During the upcoming expedition season, guests aboard the Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit can choose from 49 distinct voyages, spanning from 8 to 96 days and covering over 180 destinations across 29 countries. Some of the standout experiences include in-depth explorations of the Arctic regions of Svalbard, Greenland, Iceland, and Arctic Canada. Additionally, venturing into the pristine waters of Antarctica, South Georgia, and the Falkland Islands will be on the menu, with some voyages also touching the rugged beauty of Patagonia's Chilean Fjords. With a focus on maximizing natural immersion, travelers can expect thrilling Zodiac cruises, kayaking trips, guided landings, and enrichment activities.

Highlights of the Expedition Season

One of the most exciting highlights of this collection is the return of the Grand Expedition: Pole to Pole, marking another opportunity to traverse the world's extremes. Set to embark on August 17, 2028, this unparalleled journey takes guests from Reykjavik to Ushuaia. Spanning an impressive 96 days, the voyage covers more than 20,500 nautical miles, traversing 147 degrees of latitude to connect the northernmost and southernmost territories.

Participants will be treated to a wealth of breathtaking wildlife encounters featuring majestic polar bears, playful beluga whales, and various penguin species, along with stunning glimpses of the environment’s dramatic landscapes. The expedition includes days spent exploring the scenic beauty of Antarctica, South Georgia, and the Falkland Islands – all known for their rich biodiversity.

Travelers can select from two itinerary options: a full 96-day adventure or an 82-day experience that allows travelers to join the journey later. Both options include extraordinary expedition experiences, gourmet dining featuring a range of premium spirits and fine wines, and luxurious suite accommodations replete with amenities such as Swarovski binoculars for whale watching.

Expanding Arctic Adventures

In addition to the Grand Expedition, the 2028-2029 collection features a broader Arctic program, with an unprecedented number of sailings offered. From April to September 2028, both Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit will execute expeditions in the Arctic, ensuring guests experience unparalleled access to stunning fjords, ice-capped landscapes and cultural engagements with the communities that call this region home.
