Seabourn has opened for sale its 2028–29 expedition voyages aboard the Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit.
According to a press release, the cruise line will offer 49 departures ranging from eight to 96 days and visiting more than 180 destinations across 29 countries.
“As Seabourn approaches its 40th anniversary, our 2028–2029 expedition season is designed for travelers who want to explore the world’s most remote places in a deeper and more meaningful way,” said Mark Tamis, president of Seabourn.
“From the return of our Grand Expedition: Pole to Pole to a broader Arctic program that reaches places like Svalbard and the Canadian High Arctic, these voyages reflect our commitment to pairing purposeful exploration with the service and luxury experience our guests expect from Seabourn.”
Seabourn’s second Grand Expedition: Pole to Pole will depart on August 17, 2028.
