Seabourn Sets Sail Into a Bold New Era of Expedition & Elegance

Written by Isabelle Guillaume | September 11, 2025

Introducing the 2027–2028 Collection: Voyages Designed to Inspire Wonder

In the world of luxury cruising, few names evoke such effortless sophistication and boundary-pushing exploration as Seabourn. Now, with the release of its highly anticipated 2027–2028 Ocean and Expedition itineraries, the ultra-luxury line invites travelers to reimagine what it means to explore the world—pole to pole, and everywhere in between.

Whether you’re drawn to the icy wilderness of Antarctica, the sunlit villages of the Mediterranean, or the untouched islands of the South Pacific, Seabourn’s upcoming collection offers something truly rare: journeys that are both grand in scope and intimate in spirit.

Let’s take a closer look at what makes this next chapter so compelling.

The Grand Expedition: Pole to Pole, Without Compromise

A true centerpiece of the new collection is the debut of Seabourn’s first-ever “Pole-to-Pole Grand Expedition.”Spanning 94 days aboard the purpose-built Seabourn Venture, this voyage is nothing short of legendary—sailing from the Arctic’s raw beauty to the glacial silence of Antarctica.

Led by a 23-member expedition team of scientists and explorers, guests will discover remote coastlines, indigenous cultures, and untamed wildlife, all while enjoying Seabourn’s signature luxury: spacious suites, world-class cuisine, and an onboard ambiance that feels more private yacht than cruise ship.

Expedition Highlights: Antarctica, Arctic & Beyond

Antarctica Like Never Before

Embark on Zodiacs to glide past towering icebergs, step ashore pristine islands, and sip Champagne during the legendary Caviar on the Ice. With 19 departures and multiple travel seasons, guests can witness everything from penguin courtship to migrating whales.

The Arctic Frontier

From Iceland to the Canadian High Arctic, Seabourn’s Arctic journeys delve into lands few have seen. Watch for Belugas and puffins under the midnight sun—or take part in a Polar Plunge beneath the northern lights.

The Kimberley & South Pacific

In northwest Australia, The Kimberley remains one of Earth’s most dramatic landscapes. Meanwhile, Seabourn Pursuit ventures through Easter Island, Papua New Guinea, and lesser-traveled isles of the South Pacific—places where ritual, rhythm, and reef remain deeply untouched.

Ocean Voyages: Small Ships, Big Stories

Beyond expedition, Seabourn’s 2027 summer ocean season explores timeless favorites and new hidden gems across Alaska, Japan, Canada & New England, the Mediterranean, and Northern Europe.

Solar Eclipse at Sea

A standout itinerary? A 14-day Mediterranean voyage in July 2027, designed around a rare solar eclipse—best viewed from the open sea aboard Seabourn Ovation.

Japan in Autumn

Seabourn Encore returns to Japan with three immersive roundtrip sailings from Tokyo, including overnights in Osaka and maiden calls in Matsuyama and Shingu. Cultural excursions include tea ceremonies, shrines, and UNESCO heritage sites galore.

Why Sail with Seabourn?

More than destinations, Seabourn is defined by its style of travel:

  • All-suite accommodations, all oceanfront
  • Inclusive dining and drinks across all venues
  • Genuine, intuitive service with a nearly 1:1 staff-to-guest ratio
  • Curated experiences like Shopping with the Chef and Marina Days
  • Unmatched enrichment from onboard experts and explorers

It’s not just about where you go, but how you feel along the way.

Why Plan with A Travel Advisor

Planning a Seabourn journey, whether it’s an expedition to Antarctica or a Mediterranean voyage timed with a solar eclipse, is part of the adventure. With so many extraordinary itineraries, luxurious suites, and immersive experiences to choose from, working with a trusted travel advisor ensures that every detail is tailored to you.

From helping you select the perfect voyage and suite to securing exclusive perks, early access, and added onboard amenities, a professional advisor brings insider knowledge that goes far beyond what’s printed in a brochure.

They’ll handle all the logistics—from flights and transfers to pre- and post-cruise stays—so your only job is to relax, pack your bags, and prepare for an unforgettable journey with Seabourn.
