Seabourn has unveiled its most ambitious season yet for 2027–2028, combining ultra-luxury ocean cruises with bold expeditions to the planet’s most remote destinations. The new program includes 111 departures across 72 unique itineraries, spanning 369 destinations in 71 countries across all seven continents. Whether seeking arctic wilderness or access to hidden coastal ports, Seabourn’s curated voyages promise once-in-a-lifetime experiences, all delivered with signature comfort and thoughtful design.
The Heart of the Expedition: Pole‑to‑Pole and Polar Extremes
At the apex of Seabourn’s expedition offerings is the newly introduced Pole‑to‑Pole Grand Expedition, a 94-day voyage stretching from the High Arctic down to Antarctica. Travelers aboard Seabourn Venture will traverse 147 degrees of latitude – witnessing the stark beauty of Arctic ice, navigating the Northwest Passage, and reaching the southernmost fringes of Earth. Along the route, expect immersive Zodiac excursions, expert-led nature walks, and culturally rich storytelling.
The Antarctic season features 19 departures lasting 10 to 25 days via Seabourn Pursuit and Venture. Guests begin with a pre-cruise night in Buenos Aires before flying to Ushuaia. Throughout early to late season, voyages offer penguin interactions, possible landings on the frozen sea, dramatic iceberg views, and serene midnight sun – or champagne toast – experiences like “Caviar on the Ice.”
Ocean Cruises with a Cultural Twist: Eclipse Voyages and Mediterranean Artistry
Seabourn’s ocean fleet delivers equally compelling experiences. A standout 14-day Mediterranean cruise aboard Seabourn Ovation departs Monte Carlo in July 2027, sailing toward Dubrovnik under the path of the August 2 solar eclipse – providing a rare, unobstructed viewing opportunity at sea. Voyagers can enjoy curated activities like “Shopping with the Chef” excursions and a relaxing “Marina Day” with onboard water sports at select stops.
Elsewhere, Seabourn Ovation will conduct 127 varied departures throughout the Mediterranean between April and November, calling at 77 ports across 17 countries – including new maiden calls in Volos, Greece, and Bari, Italy. Meanwhile, Seabourn Quest will explore Northern Europe – taking in Norway’s fjords, Icelandic wonders, and cultural highlights across the UK and Baltics in 10 departures to 60 destinations.
Thoughtfully Designed Journeys Across Continents
The full spectrum of Seabourn’s 2027–2028 season connects guests with corners of the world often inaccessible on typical cruise itineraries. Through 28 expedition routes in 39 countries, Seabourn Pursuit and Venture will cover eight to 94-day journeys across the Arctic, Kimberley coast, South Pacific, and more.
In Australia, the Kimberley region awaits with its dramatic landscapes, waterfalls, mangroves, and snorkeling at biodiverse reefs. Guests can also explore Easter Island, Papua New Guinea, and Vanuatu. Across the season, expedition teams of scientists, naturalists, and photographers guide every moment, fostering both enriched insight and added warmth to these journeys.
Amid these offerings, culinary storytelling plays a role too. Local chefs guide immersive cultural experiences – sampling markets and producing onboard menus – blending regional flavors with luxury hospitality. This dazzling 2027–2028 lineup aims not only to deliver travel, but to craft life-enhancing, deeply meaningful encounters across all continents.
