Seabourn has announced the first lineup of speakers from The Atlantic who will sail with the cruise line in the Fall of 2026 as part of Seabourn Conversations.

The programming brings thinkers, authors and experts across culture, science, history and the arts onboard, to foster dialogue with guests and enrich their voyage.

Thanks to a partnership with the Atlantic, select sailings will welcome David Frum, Megan Garber, Yvonne Rolzhausen and Evan Smith.

“One of the most powerful things about travel is its ability to change the way we see the world. Our partnership with The Atlantic brings together two brands united by intellectual curiosity and a desire to explore more deeply,” noted Kacy Cole, chief marketing officer for Seabourn.

“By bringing some of today’s most compelling voices aboard, we’re creating conversations that spark new ideas, broaden perspectives and make meaningful discovery an even more defining part of the Seabourn experience.”
