In late-March 2019, Seabourn signed a partnership with Pixvana Inc (Seattle-based company) to create TableVision (virtual reality/interactive training platform based on Pixvana's SPIN Studio) for Main Dining Room waitstaff training. Seabourn is owned by Carnival Corporation and is part of the "World's Leading Cruise Lines" group, which also includes AIDA, CCL-Carnival, Costa, Cunard, HAL-Holland America Line, Princess and P&O. This facility can provide medical assistance in the event of an illness or accident during the voyage, but it isn’t designed to provide continuous medical treatment. Additionally, if you prefer to dine in the privacy of your own suite, 24-hour room service is also available.

THE SEABOURN ALL-INCLUSIVE EXPEDITION DIFFERENCE
On March 31, 2011, Seabourn Cruise Line ceased operations from Miami Florida USA and transferred its operations to Holland America's headquarters in Seattle WA. Seabourn Pride (the company's first vessel) entered service in 1988, followed by sistership Seabourn Spirit in 1989. The vessel was eventually purchased by Royal Viking Line (1972-founded/1998-defunct) and launched in 1992 as "Royal Viking Queen". Seabourn has developed a tool that allows passengers to check the vaccination and/or testing requirements for their upcoming voyage; however, before sailing guests are strongly recommended to be fully vaccinated and have received a booster (if eligible). In the evenings, guests can enjoy piano music in the Observation Bar before dinner while sipping cocktails and later head to The Club for music and dancing. The Grand Salon serves as the main showroom for lectures, demos, movies during the day, performances like an Evening with Tim Rice, music, and dancing at night.

The line also typically sends a second ship on an around-the-world cruise that includes multiple segments in Asia, resulting in two of the line's ships sailing in Asia during parts of the winter. Seabourn features voyages focused specifically on the Western Mediterranean, voyages focused specifically on the Eastern Mediterranean and voyages that include days traveling beyond the edges of the Mediterranean to such places as the Canary Islands. Seabourn Encore, on the other hand, resumes journeys to Southeast Asia, offering 14-day cruises inclusive of overnight stays in Ho Chi Minh City. Concurrently, Seabourn Sojourn provides holiday sailings around the picturesque Hawaiian Islands. From March to November 2025, Seabourn Ovation has scheduled 25 sailings (7 to 14 days) leaving from Lisbon, Rome-Civitavecchia, Barcelona, or Monte Carlo. Four additional voyages are scheduled, including a pair of 20-day journeys departing on March 18, 2025, from San Antonio, Chile, to Papeete, Tahiti, and another on October 10, 2025, from Papeete to San Antonio.
Mediterranean & Northern Europe 2025
In June 2023 was introduced new 24-hour in-cabin dining menus listing gourmet dishes prepared by Anton Egger (company's Master Chef and Culinary Consultant Chef) and Franck Salein (company's Senior Corporate Chef). Introduced on Seabourn Venture in June, the new menus were rolled out fleetwide by October. Seabourn has partnered with Dr. Andrew Weil to create the first-ever at-sea Mindful Living Program dedicated to caring for the whole body and soul. In addition to mindful meditation and yoga sessions, it includes a full range of specialized body and facial treatments such as acupuncture, bamboo massage, aroma stone therapy, and sound baths. To dine at The Grill by Thomas Keller on Seabourn Ovation, guests must make a reservation beforehand, but there’s no extra charge.
During the day, casual, resort-style attire, including jeans and shorts, is ok in all lounges and dining venues until 6 pm. Bathing suits, short shorts, cover-ups and exercise wear are only acceptable by the pool, on deck or in the spa and fitness center. It includes an oceanview gym with state-of-the-art equipment, personal training services, a motion studio for fitness classes, a full-service hair and nail salon, and an exclusive Barber Shop, a men’s only refuge.
Ventures by Seabourn allow guests to kayak, ride in our Zodiacs, or go on group hikes to see these iconic destinations up close and personal. You can kayak through fjords, circumnavigate the Inian Islands, and witness the Holgate Glacier via Zodiac, or take priceless pictures in our photography hikes at Wrangell. 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.
Moreover, an 18-day cruise from Papeete to Sydney is planned to commence on April 7, 2025, followed by a 16-day Remote Shores of New Guinea & Indonesia voyage sailing from Sydney to Darwin on April 24, 2025. The vessel also ventures southward to Antarctica, dedicating three months to explore the "Great White Continent," providing passengers with the opportunity to navigate around impressive ice formations and encounter unforgettable wildlife. The price of the cruise fare includes gratuities, so there is no need or expectation to tip the staff on the ship. However, gratuities are not included in the pricing of shore excursions, so guests should be prepared to give tips to local guides and drivers. Seabourn is honored to see our fleet nominated in Condé Nast Traveler's 2024 Reader's Choice Awards.

Smoking is also banned in the ships' Observation Lounge (previously allowed after 8 pm). Smoking is allowed on Sky Bar's open-air starboard area (midship Deck 9 / Deck 10 on Encore and Ovation ships) and also on the starboard open-air pool terrace of The Club lounge (Deck 5 aft). While most of the cruisers are likely to be American, Seabourn appeals to well-off and well-traveled vacationers from a variety of countries, particularly English-speaking Great Britain, South Africa, and Australia, among others. The first vessel (Venture) was scheduled for June 2021 (later postponed to December 2021, April 2022, and. eventually, July 2022). The second unit (Pursuit) was initially planned for delivery in 2022 (May) but was postponed to March 2023.
On June 6, 2022, NCLH announced an expansion of its fleetwide sustainability program "Sail & Sustain". Extending its animal welfare policy, the shipowner is now fully committed to responsible animal food sourcing practices (regarding pork, chicken, eggs, and seafood) within the global fleet's supply chain. The goal is by the year 2025, fleetwide (NCL, Oceania, Regent) to be sourced only cage-free eggs, crate-free pork, certified sustainable seafood, and chicken purchased from American and Canadian suppliers who meet GAP (Global Animal Partnership) standards. In 2002, Seabourn Sun was transferred to Holland America Line (Carnival-owned subsidiary), thus reducing Seabourn's fleet to the three original vessels. The company was demerged from Cunard and reorganized as an independent brand (still part of Carnival Corporation).
Seabourn Source operates on a shipboard network, so users do not incur additional Internet/cellular data charges while in use. 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.
In an industry first, Seabourn has become the first cruise line to appoint Traditional Owners, or an Aboriginal people, as the godparents of a new vessel. But the cruise line couldn’t imagine a better choice to celebrate Seabourn Pursuit’s inaugural season in Australia, which will begin at the end of this month on April 30, 2024. A shorter, 27-night segment of the above voyage that includes only the Caribbean portion of the trip, as well as stops in Brazil, also is available. In addition, the line often operates an epic voyage to South America out of Miami every winter that brings stops in the Caribbean in addition to a complete circumnavigation of South America. The next such voyage, an 80-night trip, is scheduled to start Jan. 4, 2024, and will include calls at Barbados, Martinique, Antigua, St. Kitts and Puerto Rico. When sailing outbound from Barbados, the trips typically bring stops at the islands of St. Vincent, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Nevis, Antigua and St. Kitts.
There’s turndown service each night, and you’ll be welcomed with Champagne and bite-sized nibbles upon arrival. 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. One of the western most cities in the Inside Passage, the coastal town of Sitka offers vivid history and stunning vistas truly unique, containing vaulted mountain peaks and crystal-clear waters.
The cruises also incorporate Seabourn's Ventures by Seabourn program, offering expedition-style excursions such as kayaking, Zodiac cruising, and hiking for those interested. Embark on an unparalleled journey through the cradle of civilization - the Mediterranean. From the moment you step on board your Seabourn luxury cruise ship, you will enter a world of history, culture, opulence, and exploration. Enjoy the sophistication of our fine-dining restaurants, or the casual charm of al fresco eateries.
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. 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.
Keep in mind that infants who are 6 months or younger are not allowed on non-transocean sailings, and those who are 12 months or younger cannot go on transocean sailings. Since there are no specific facilities for children, parents must take responsibility for their children’s behavior and entertainment. Anyone under the age of 21 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or chaperone, and each person requires one adult chaperone. In the evening, the dress is “elegant casual” with women wearing anything from jeans with dressy tops to long, flowing sun dresses. Jackets are optional for men except for formal nights that occur once on cruises up to 13 days, twice on cruises of 14 to 20 days and three times on cruises that are 21 days or more.
