Ultra-luxury ocean cruising since 1986, brought to expedition travel in 2022 - two genuinely remarkable, all-suite ships that have redefined what luxury expedition cruising can look like.
Seabourn has been synonymous with ultra-luxury ocean cruising since 1986, and in 2022 brought that same refinement to expedition travel with its first purpose-built expedition ship, Seabourn Venture, followed by sister ship Seabourn Pursuit in 2023 - two ships that have genuinely redefined what luxury expedition cruising can look like.
Both ships are built to PC6 Polar Class standards, with ice-strengthened hulls enabling safe passage through Antarctica, the Arctic, Svalbard and Greenland. Each carries 24 Zodiacs and a fleet of sea kayaks, supported by an expert expedition team of around 19 to 26 scientists, historians and naturalists.
With just 264 guests aboard each ship, the atmosphere stays intimate throughout - all-suite accommodation, an open bridge policy, and dining that rivals any restaurant ashore.
Seabourn suits travellers who want the absolute pinnacle of luxury without compromising on genuine expedition credentials - all-suite comfort, exceptional service and real polar capability in one ship.
Both sit at the ultra-luxury end, but Seabourn's expedition fleet is newer (2022/2023) and limited to just two ships, giving a slightly more consistent, purpose-built experience across the whole polar programme.
Yes - gratuities are built into the fare on Seabourn Expeditions voyages, along with premium drinks and Wi-Fi.
