New Seabourn Luxury Expedition Cruise Ship

Ultra Luxury cruise line Seabourn will name its first expedition ship Seabourn Venture. Appropriate, the name is a nod to remote destinations visited by Seabourn’s unique excursion program. On the purpose-built ship, both Expedition Excursions and Ventures by Seabourn will bring a new travel option with a wider variety of fascinating places.

“The name Seabourn Venture is an exciting step in the process of launching even more immersive voyages designed specifically for the expedition traveler who dares to go beyond the norm in terms of destinations and experiences they seek,” -Richard Meadows, Seabourn President


Seabourn began offering expedition experiences during its first sailing to Antarctica in 2013 led by a world-class expedition team. Those itineraries have been offered every season since. Seabourn’s Antarctica program opened the door for Ventures by Seabourn featuring Zodiacs, kayaks, and guided hikes offered on Seabourn ships in a number of desirable destinations around the world.

Seabourn Venture is scheduled to launch in June 2021. A second yet-to-be-named sister ship is slated to launch in May 2022.

  • Both ships are designed and built for rigid PC6 Polar Class safety standards.
  • Both include a plethora of modern hardware and technology that will extend the ships global deployment and capabilities.
  • A new and exciting offering will be two custom-built submarines carried onboard, providing an unforgettable view of the world beneath the ocean’s surface.
  • The ships will also be designed to carry a complement of kayaks and 24 Zodiacs that can accommodate all onboard guests at once, which will allow for a truly immersive experience.
  • Each ship will feature 132 luxurious oceanfront veranda suites. More details and full-color renderings of the ship and its interior spaces will be released in the months ahead.
  • Crew will include outstanding and well-traveled expedition teams comprised of highly regarded wilderness experts, scientists, historians and naturalists.
