Nature abounds throughout the voyage from the beautiful beaches in St. Kitts to the epic British Virgin Islands volcanos including Mount Pelée on Martinique. The towering Trafalgar Falls located in Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the premier destination of Dominica Island. The South Pacific is home to some of the least-travelled islands and atolls in the world, making it the perfect destination for Seabourn’s extraordinary explorers to discover new and hidden gems. Kayak over flooded forests, where you'll find sloths, howler monkeys and colorful birds or cruise in a zodiac to see life on a caboclo buffalo farm.
VIEW SHIP DETAILS
Introducing Seabourn Ovation, the sister-ship to the already prestigious Seabourn Encore. Seabourn Ovation represents another welcome stage in the evolution of small ship cruising, which Seabourn pioneered and has consistently expanded and enriched for all of our small ship cruises. Our Expeditions are centered around authentic, personalized experiences, all facilitated by a 24-person Expedition team. This select group of academics, scientists and general naturalists share your passion for exploring and learning about some of the world's remote regions.
Fleet
The company's fleet currently consists of five vessels, with two sets of sister ships. In 2001, Carnival bought out the Norwegian shareholders, and Seabourn's parent company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Carnival. That summer, Seabourn Goddess I and Seabourn Goddess II were sold to Seabourn's original founder, Atle Brynestad, in order to establish his own cruise line SeaDream Yacht Club. Between February and April 2025, Seabourn Sojourn has four cruises to Morocco and the Canaries (7 to 14 days) visiting El Hierro and Casablanca (Morocco). Itineraries range from 7- to 24 days (many are combinable into B2Bs) and offer late-night and overnight por stays. In addition to Kimberley, Seabourn Pursuit (March-October 2024) visits destinations in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Micronesia, Guam USA, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, and also has scheduled a Transpacific crossing from Chile to Melanesia.
EARTH & OCEAN
From the sun-drenched beaches of the Greek Isles to the architectural wonders of ancient Rome, you will experience the best the Mediterranean land and sea have to offer. In October 2023 was announced that on Seabourn Quest in January 2024 debuts the fleet's first Solis Restaurant. The premium dining venue offers daily prepared dishes of contemporary Mediterranean cuisine.
Most dishes are made with the freshest, locally sourced ingredients (depending on the visited regions/destinations). "Sushi in the Club" (on the ships Odyssey, Sojourn and Quest) is available every night (between 6-9 PM) and offers fresh-made sushi bites served with sake. Seabourn Venture, between May 2025 and March 2026, offers 21 voyages spanning from 8 to 28 days, covering an extensive range from the Arctic to Antarctica. The itineraries promise immersive encounters in Svalbard, Iceland, and Greenland, characterized by towering ice formations and cultural shore excursions in addition to breathtaking, uninhabited fjords.
Seabourn Alaska Experience
Explore the wonders of the Mediterranean on Seabourn's ultra-luxury ships. Its first ship, Seabourn Pride, entered service in 1988, followed by an identical sister, Seabourn Spirit, in 1989. A third vessel, originally planned for 1990, was delayed due to investors' financial constraints and was ultimately purchased by Royal Viking Line in 1992 as Royal Viking Queen. In 1995, Royal Viking Queen was transferred to a Kloster subsidiary, Royal Cruise Line, as Queen Odyssey.
It’s one of the prettiest expedition ships I’ve seen, evoking a sleek adventuresome yacht. There’s plenty of intimate bars and lounges, and outdoor space - not just for viewing wildlife or lounging, but also for swimming in an infinity pool or soaking in one of four hot tubs (two by the cool outdoor Sky Bar). Built for polar exploration, this vessel features a cozy alpine-meets-the-sea vibe, with faux-fur pillows, plush blankets for staying warm and three fireplaces with dancing water vapor flames. The design keeps the focus on expeditions and wildlife, from art to screens projecting videos of Antarctica or the Arctic in all their pristine glory. Seabourn ocean liner fans will recognize Seabourn Square, the popular meeting place with comfy seating, library books, snacks and espresso drinks brewed to order.
Seabourn welcomes the second ultra-luxury Expedition ship to the fleet, Seabourn Pursuit. Purpose-built for immersive and adventurous travel experiences, the smaller sizes of expedition ships afford access to remote destinations and areas largers ships cannot reach. On August 15, 2019, Seabourn opened bookings for its new "Private Air" program (privately chartered jet service) that allows customers to fly to homeports/departure cruise ports via private jets rather than commercial airlines.

Best of all, we could scan a QR code or download a link so that we could share it with family members or keep it for ourselves. Many expedition lines used to charge for that video, and maybe some still do. All rooms are suites, equipped with designer soaps, and the latest amenities, such as flat-screen televisions and Bose Wave sound systems. Beds are dressed with Egyptian cotton linens and fluffy duvet covers with feather pillows. A well-stocked in-suite bar and Pure Pampering therapeutic bathing menu are provided in each suite.
Focused on personalized service, the line has designed unique programs like Caviar in the Surf and Shopping With the Chef, to further enhance onboard experience. Each of Ovation’s 300 balcony suites, including the entry-level Veranda Suite, has a sitting area with comfy seating, an all-teak wood veranda and lots of storage space. Suites vary in size from 246 to 1292 feet, and all come with a walk-in closet, dining area, dressing table, and a marble bathroom featuring a double vanity, full-size tub, separate shower and Molton Brown toiletries. Cabins have flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges stocked with your favorite beverages, which you may select in advance of the trip.
These transfer operations may not be fully accessible to guests using wheelchairs or scooters, making it difficult to embark or disembark the ship due to steep gangways and steps. As if the Ovation isn’t luxurious enough, take it up a notch and pay to book a full day in The Retreat. Located on the top deck, this private enclave has 15 private cabanas, each equipped with loungers, a stocked fridge, a flat-screen TV with Bluetooth headphones and Evian mist spray in case you get hot. The cabanas are set up in a circular style around a large hot tub and are sheltered from the elements by a large sun shade. The Retreat also has dedicated butlers who always keep your glass of Champagne full. One of your suite’s most gracious, charming amenities is your Personal Suite Host and Suite Attendant.
Seabourn Venture was delivered on June 29, 2022 and inaugural voyage on July 27, 2022.[10] Seabourn Pursuit is scheduled for delivery in February 2023. Seabourn's 2025 European season (March thru November) offers a range of itineraries encompassing the Mediterranean, Northern Europe (UK, Baltic, Norway) and Spain's Canary Islands. The program is based on three ships (Ovation, Encore, Sojourn) and 60+ voyages. The original Seabourn megayachts and their new fleet mates have been lovingly maintained and proved to be a great success over the years. Recognized as a leading small-ship luxury line, Seabourn delivers all extras, expected by its clientele - a stocked minibar in all suites, elegant amenities, complimentary wines, and spirits. During the day, casual, resort-style attire, including jeans and shorts, is ok in all lounges and dining venues until 6 pm.
Veranda suites, which make up the bulk of accommodations, are perfectly serviceable and comfortable with large two-sink bathrooms decked in marble and a balcony containing two chairs, two foot rests, and a table. A curtain separates the sleeping area from the living, which contains a couch, wet bar and mini-fridge (pre-stocked with your liquor of choice), table and chairs, and television. Depending on the port, on shore activities to suit all interests and activity level are offered. Sleepier stops can be a little sparse on this front, but Seabourn’s size means easy access to the main part of town across ports, so passengers can get off and on the ship throughout the day. Ease into island time as you cruise through the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. Each day is a covergence of indulgence and adventure on your Seabourn state-of-the-art ship, enjoying high-end amenities, fine-dining, and sights as colorful as the Caribbean's diverse cultures.
Between May and July 2025, Seabourn Pursuit embarks on a series of 10-day departures exploring the Australia and Kimberley Coast region, connecting Broome and Darwin, Australia. In August 2025, Seabourn Venture embarks on a historic journey through the Northwest Passage, retracing the paths of earlier seafarers and explorers. In addition to Milestone Awards, passengers earn Seabourn Club Points qualifying them for bonus perks. Passengers who don't comply with the company's smoking policy are fined a cleaning fee (USD 250 per day).
