Details About Seabourn Cruises
State-of-the-Art Expedition Ships
Since 1988, Seabourn has redefined luxury cruising by blending the intimacy of a private yacht with the amenities of a world-class ship. Now, with its two cutting-edge expedition vessels, Seabourn brings this ultra-luxury standard to the polar regions — including Antarctica.
You’ll sail aboard a Polar Class 6 vessel, offering the highest level of comfort and safety in icy waters. Advanced stabilizers ensure a remarkably smooth journey through the polar seas, reducing motion by up to 90%, so you can focus on the wonder of exploration — not the waves.
A Floating 5-Star Resort
An Antarctic expedition with Seabourn is a luxurious, ultra-all-inclusive experience from the very beginning of your journey to the moment you return home.
You’ll travel in one of only 132 spacious suites, enjoying an impressive range of five-star amenities and the intimate atmosphere of a boutique luxury resort at sea.
Seabourn’s world-class dining has been elevated even further through a culinary partnership with Chef Thomas Keller, recipient of three Michelin stars. All eight onboard restaurants are complimentary, allowing you to dine when and where you wish.
Between your shore adventures, warm up with a rejuvenating spa treatment — complete with breathtaking views of drifting icebergs.
Daily Choice of Activities
With Seabourn, every day in Antarctica is yours to design — exactly the way you want it. You can simply relax on deck with a book and a view of the passing icebergs, or take part in a wide range of unforgettable activities.
Each expedition ship features a dedicated Expedition Team of 24 to 26 experts, including naturalists, scientists, and historians who share their insights in small groups, helping you deepen your understanding of the White Continent’s wildlife, landscapes, and history.
Enjoy a daily selection of complimentary Zodiac landings, engaging lectures, and a variety of optional adventures. These include Ventures by Seabourn — guided kayak excursions and unforgettable dives in one of the ship’s two custom-built submarines (available at an additional cost).
