The Details: Seabourn Alaska 2017 Sailings
After a seventeen year absence, luxury cruise line Seabourn is returning to the Land of the Midnight Sun in 2017, offering their signature mix of authentic Seabourn Alaska shore experiences and six star amenities. That’s good news for luxury cruise travelers; no other luxury category ships go there. Better news, the itineraries and excursion choices are absolutely amazing.
Personal favorite ship Seabourn Sojourn will run a variety of innovative itineraries sailing from Vancouver, British Columbia and Anchorage (Seward), Alaska. We’ll get to those amazing Seabourn Alaska adventures shortly.
Like their cold water sailings to Antarctica, Seabourn will bring along a veteran Alaska expedition team to supplement Seabourn’s award-winning hospitality staff throughout the cruise, offering insights about the wildlife and destinations in lectures and on open, un-crowded decks.
The optional Ventures by Seabourn™ Zodiac and kayak excursions, curated by Seabourn’s Manager of Expedition Operations and Planning, Robin West, will deploy right from the ship.
In addition, Seabourn’s skilled culinary staff will take full advantage of the region’s seasonal bounty of fresh produce and seafood to prepare exceptional meals meeting the exacting specifications of world-renowned American chef and restaurateur Thomas Keller.
Each of the new Seabourn Alaska 11-, 12- and 14-day cruises will include:
- Amazing itineraries featuring marquee ports such as Juneau and Ketchikan
- The hidden gems of the Alaska Inside Passage
- Optional Ventures by Seabourn excursions
- Guidance from our onboard Expeditions Team
- Complimentary Seabourn All-Weather Jackets
- Inspiring Seabourn Conversations with special onboard guest speakers
- Opportunities for frequent wildlife sightings from the ship and shore
- “Caviar on the Ice” deck party and other special deck events
Further solidifying Seabourn’s designation as “Best Small-Ship Cruise Line” for 2015 by the sophisticated and discerning readers of Condé Nast Traveler, the ultra luxury line brings to the table a unique Alaska product, worthy of your consideration.
Seabourn Alaska 2017
Details at hand, Seabourn Alaska sailings in 2017 offer a choice of four different itineraries, ranging from 11 to 25 days in length. This first one, an 11-day sailing from Vancouver to Seward, is offered June 1 and June 26 as well as July 21 and August 15. Like other Seabourn sailings, itineraries can be combined for an even longer sailing.
On this and the other itineraries below, see the unique highlighted ports of call. Most are rarely offered (if ever) by other cruise lines. This is not simply a case of a luxury cruise line visiting the waters of Alaska, running the same amazing itineraries other lines might offer.
Capitalizing on the smaller size of Seabourn Sojourn here, as Seabourn does at other destinations around the world, cruise travelers will enjoy unique itineraries that stop at different places, with time-honored favorites included as well.
