Paying tribute to the remote destinations visited by their highly successful expedition and Ventures by Seabourn™ excursion programmes the new ship is sure to impress luxury and expedition cruise veterans alike.
Seabourn began offering expedition experiences during its first sailing to Antarctica in 2013 led by a highly qualified, world-class Expedition Team and those itineraries have been offered every season since. The success of the Antarctica programme opened the door for similar optional experiences under the name Ventures by Seabourn featuring Zodiacs, kayaks, and guided hikes offered on Seabourn ships in a number of desirable destinations around the world, including Alaska, Australia & New Zealand, South America, and Northern European destinations such as Norway and Greenland.
Get up-close to nature with Seabourn
As the name suggests, ‘Seabourn Venture’ is an exciting step in Seabourn’s process of launching even more immersive voyages all designed for the expedition traveller who dares to go beyond the norm.
For those keen to get up-close and personal with nature and a desire to get the adrenaline pumping all while cruising in unparalleled luxury; you’ll be thrilled to hear that the new ship is scheduled to launch in June 2021. Excitingly, It doesn’t end there! Seabourn have also announced that a second yet-to-be-named sister ship is slated to launch May 2022.
Using ground-breaking technology both ships will be designed and built for diverse environments to PC6 Polar Class standards and will include a plethora of modern hardware that will extend the ships global deployment and capabilities.
The new ships, which are being built by T. Mariotti, will be a brand new innovative design, created specifically for the ultra-luxury expedition traveller, and will include many features that have made Seabourn ships so successful. A new and exciting offering will be two custom-built submarines carried onboard, providing an unforgettable view of the world beneath the ocean’s surface.
The ships will also be designed to carry a complement of kayaks and 24 Zodiacs that can accommodate all onboard guests at once, which will allow for a truly immersive experience. Each ship will feature 132 luxurious ocean-front veranda suites. More details and full-color renderings of the ship and its interior spaces will be released in the months ahead.
Both vessels will feature an onboard crew that will include outstanding and well-travelled Expedition Teams comprised of highly regarded wilderness experts, scientists, historians and naturalists. During each sailing, team members regularly interact with guests, providing keen insight to deliver a rich holistic travel experience.
