Seabourn Venture will be a purpose-built expedition ship offering posh service and amenities onboard a vessel that will explore some of the most highly sought-after destinations in the world. While the notion of an expedition usually conjures images of roughing it, Seabourn plans to offer the first ultra-luxury experience while sailing in remote and rugged places like Antarctica and the Arctic Circle.


Seabourn began offering expedition experiences during its first sailing to Antarctica in 2013 led by 
an expert expedition team. Those itineraries have been offered every season since. The success of the Antarctica program opened the door for similar epic voyages under the name â€œVentures by Seabourn” featuring zodiacs, kayaks and guided hikes offered on Seabourn ships in a number of exotic destinations around the world, including Alaska, Australia and New Zealand, South America and Northern European destinations such as Norway and Greenland.

"The name Seabourn Venture is an exciting step in the process of launching even more immersive voyages designed specifically for the expedition traveler who dares to go beyond the norm in terms of destinations and experiences they seek," said Richard Meadows, president of Seabourn.


The ship will sail with a team of 26 experts who will craft unique experiences that bring these destinations to life, while on an ultra-luxury cruise, Seabourn says. 
Seabourn Venture is scheduled to launch in June 2021, with a yet-to-be-named sister ship slated to launch in May 2022. Both ships will be designed and built for diverse environments to PC6 Polar Class standards and will include modern hardware and technology that expands the global deployment and capabilities for these ships.

The new ships, created specifically for the ultra-luxury expedition traveler, will include many features that have made Seabourn ships so successful. 
Two custom-built submarines will be carried onboard, providing an unforgettable view of the world beneath the surface. The ships will also be designed to carry a complement of kayaks and 24 zodiacs, which allows for a truly immersive experience. Each ship will feature 132 luxurious oceanfront veranda suites.

For more
 details about itineraries and booking availability, check out the Seabourn website. Seabourn Venture is scheduled to sail in the Arctic in late summer 2021, with a full summer season in Antarctica to follow.

Both expedition vessels will feature an onboard crew 
featuring well-traveled expedition teams composed of wilderness experts, scientists, historians and naturalists. During each sailing, team members regularly interact with passengers, providing keen insight to deliver a rich travel experience. They also participate in the Seabourn Conversations program, providing in-depth insights into the history, ecology and culture of the places visited on your journeys. Travelers and guides will participate in formal presentations on a variety of topics and in more casual conversations over meals or at leisure.

Seabourn offers inclusive cruises, with premium spirits and fine wines included in your fare and available onboard at all times. The ships travel 
some of the most inspiring itineraries in the industry, going to many of the world's most desirable destinations, including marquee cities, more than 170 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and lesser-known ports and hideaways.

Quite awesome John. When I do the cruise thing I would not mind going a bit luxe, to ease my transition to this form of travel. I definitely need it to be a bit special when I'm floating around on the sea. Nice review here buddy.

Wonderful news. Well done Seabourn. We just sailed on Azamara and our ship, a competitor to Seabourn, was headed next to Antarctica, only it's not an expedition ship so passengers won't be able to get off. This new ship will be a great addition to luxury cruising.

Looks really cool, doesn't it, Rhonda.
I would love to get to do one of these expeditions some day. On any cool ship, but this one would sure be nice. Lol. Thanks for reading.
