Seabourn has scouted the world to deliver the most extraordinary experiences and create opportunities for unexpected Seabourn Moments that only an expedition can deliver, all without sacrificing ultra-luxury creature comforts. Guests will notice in many of these itineraries that Seabourn describes them solely as an “Experience” or note that they are subject to change. Embracing this flexibility allows Seabourn’s expedition team to be actively curating a voyage that is personalised to the guest, sure to move them closer and deeper to wildlife, history and new cultures than ever before.

Seabourn has unveiled an extraordinary collection of custom art on board Seabourn Pursuit, its newly launched, purpose-built expedition vessel. The extensive, permanent installation includes more than 700 artworks and takes guests on a curated journey across the seven seas.

Seabourn Pursuit, the second ultra-luxury expedition ship for Seabourn, embarked on its first voyage and welcomed its first guests on board last weekend, on 12 August 2023. The ship kicked off its maiden year with an eight-day voyage from Valletta, Malta, to Rome.

Natalya Leahy, President of Seabourn, and Marco Ghiglione, Managing Director, T. Mariotti Shipyard, sign documents to complete the delivery of Seabourn Pursuit.

Seabourn has held an intimate coin ceremony for the second of its two expeditions ships, Seabourn Pursuit, at the T. Mariotti shipyards in Italy where the vessel is being constructed. The coin laying ceremony is a maritime tradition at which the madrina places coins on the vessel, viewed as a symbol of good fortune for her sailings.

The fleet of luxury cruise line Seabourn will soon swell to seven, with a second purpose-built expedition ship, Seabourn Pursuit, now on track to enter service two months earlier than scheduled. But aside from the obvious differences in ship design and ‘toys’ onboard, how does the experience vary for guests between Seabourn’s traditional Ocean fleet and its new ultra-luxury Expedition vessels?
