Image: SeabournAn expedition cruise is generally characterized by a smaller ship that can navigate well in ice and reach remote isolated destinations. The experience is provided by a team of guides, all experts in their fields, depending on the area the ship is visiting. Zodiacs are the backbone of the expedition industry and are used several times a day to go ashore, take cruises to explore nature, spot wildlife or get a closer look at local culture. The fascinating destinations are brought to life through lectures, presentations, guided hikes, tours by kayak and submarine as well as snorkeling and diving, among other activities. An expedition cruise gives you greater insight, understanding and appreciation of the world we live in.

Comprehensive range

Seabourn's newest expedition ship, the Seabourn Venture, launched last summer. A sister ship will follow in 2023. Both ships are typified by a brand new design and a design to PC6 Polar Class standards, which also makes them suitable for hard-to-reach locations. An abundance of modern hardware and technology extends their reach worldwide. The ships also include features made specifically for ultra-luxury expedition enthusiasts, including two custom-built submarines that offer unforgettable views of the world below the ocean surface. Also on board are expedition kayaks and 24 Zodiacs, with enough space to transport all guests at once. There are even e-bikes going along! Each ship is equipped with 132 luxurious veranda suites with ocean views. The Expedition Lounge, a space with comfortable chairs and two large touchscreen TVs, lends itself to exploring photos, maps, weather information and navigational charts. Of course, conviviality and privacy are provided while dining. Open seating allows guests to dine anytime, anywhere, with whomever they choose. Skilled chefs guarantee a culinary experience guests will never forget.

A vacation like never before

An expedition trip changes the way you look at the world, enriches you and teaches you about nature. Such a cruise is suitable for anyone who wants to explore this incredible planet and learn more. Children are also welcome on board, noting that such trips are better suited for slightly older children, partly because of the lectures and presentations given on board. Younger children may lose interest because small expedition ships are not equipped with traditional cruise entertainment. The entertainment offered is minimal and subtle, such as the occasional live performance by a pianist. It's all about the expedition and the quality of the experience. Adventure with a capital A. And new adventures are coming as the ultra-luxury cruise line in ocean and expedition travel, Seabourn, has announced the latest itineraries of the Seabourn Venture. In April 2022, the expedition ship will depart for the new inaugural itineraries Wild & Ancient British Isles Voyage and Scottish and Norse Legends Expedition.
