Ultra-luxury cruising where understated elegance meets spontaneous delight

Seabourn’s intimate ships visit over 400 ports on all seven continents, and their purpose-built expedition vessels venture to some of the most remote corners of the planet – from Antarctica to the Arctic and beyond. Whether you are drawn to the sun-drenched Mediterranean, the cultural richness of Asia, or an expedition to the Northwest Passage, Seabourn pairs every destination with the refined, all-inclusive experience their guests have come to expect. This is ultra-luxury cruising for travelers who want more than a vacation – they want a voyage that stays with them long after they return home.

If posh, high-society pretension is not your thing – but you still love indulgence, elegance, and opulence – Seabourn’s relaxed and understated luxury cruising style may be exactly what you have been searching for. What often goes missing on other luxury lines is spontaneity. On Seabourn, it is woven into the fabric of every voyage. Cocktail servers hop into the pool to serve champagne to astonished guests. Unexpected desserts appear at your table courtesy of the cruise director. These signature Seabourn Moments are unscripted acts of delight that transform a beautiful cruise into something genuinely extraordinary.

All-Suite, All-Oceanfront Accommodations & Intuitive Service

Every Seabourn suite is oceanfront and luxuriously appointed. Marble bathrooms feature double sinks, a full tub, a separate shower, and luxury products from an exclusive signature scent created for Seabourn by Molton Brown, London. Your personal suite host and attendant can even draw you a bubble bath. You will find a private dining table, ample storage with a walk-in closet, and a custom-built mattress dressed in cotton linens, a fluffy all-season duvet, and your choice of firm or soft pillows.

Seabourn goes above and beyond with intuitive, personalized service that you feel the moment you step aboard – no upturned noses, no stuffy atmospheres. Their signature style of thoughtful, heartfelt hospitality comes from an award-winning crew numbering nearly as many as the guests themselves. Seabourn’s all-suite ships carry between 458 and 600 guests, offering a wealth of amenities made possible by the highest ratio of space per guest in the cruise industry. That includes the largest spa on any ultra-luxury ship and generously designed public spaces where you never feel crowded.

Very little is left to add on, which is part of what makes the Seabourn experience feel so seamless and effortless.

Seabourn’s fleet includes intimate ultra-luxury vessels and purpose-built expedition ships. The Seabourn Encore, Ovation, Sojourn, and Quest carry 458 to 600 guests, with all oceanfront suites, spacious public areas, and the highest ratio of space per guest in the cruise industry. The expedition ships – Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit – accommodate 264 guests and are outfitted with submarines, kayaks, Zodiacs, and full expedition equipment for polar and remote destinations. Every ship in the fleet maintains a nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio.

On select voyages, Seabourn deploys its Marina from the ship’s stern, creating a floating water sports platform right on the water. Guests enjoy complimentary kayaking, paddle boarding, water skiing, swimming, and banana boat rides directly from the ship. This unique experience takes place in calm harbors and picturesque bays, offering active pursuits in stunning settings – all included in your cruise fare. It is one of those distinctly Seabourn moments that you simply will not find on other cruise lines.

Seabourn is a proud member of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, one of the world’s most prestigious gastronomic societies. The crown jewel is The Grill by Thomas Keller – a culinary concept exclusive to Seabourn, crafted by the legendary chef and featuring classic American cuisine. Additional venues include The Restaurant (the main dining room), The Colonnade (indoor/outdoor casual dining), Sushi, and Earth & Ocean (contemporary cuisine served al fresco under the stars). All dining is complimentary with open seating, and no reservations are required except for The Grill.

Seabourn Conversations is an onboard speaker series featuring extraordinary guests – luminaries, experts, and accomplished individuals from a wide range of fields.

Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit are purpose-built expedition ships equipped with state-of-the-art exploration technology, including two custom-built submarines for underwater discovery, 24 Zodiacs, kayaks, and a 26-person expert expedition team.

Seabourn maintains an elegant resort atmosphere. During the day, country club casual attire is appropriate. Most evenings are “Elegant Casual,” calling for dress slacks and collared shirts for men, dresses or elegant separates for women. Occasional “Formal Optional” evenings invite tuxedos and cocktail dresses but never require them. The atmosphere is refined yet relaxed – you will feel at ease whether you dress up or keep things understated.

For the most desirable suites and itineraries, we recommend booking 8-12 months in advance – particularly for expedition voyages to Antarctica and the Arctic, Mediterranean summer sailings, and holiday departures. Seabourn’s intimate ships carry just 458 to 600 guests (264 on expedition vessels), so preferred suite categories can sell out well ahead of sailing. Booking early also gives you the best selection of Ventures by Seabourn excursions and submarine experiences on expedition ships. As your Extraordinary Adventures advisor, we can alert you to new itineraries and unpublished fares as soon as they become available, giving you a genuine head start.
