Seabourn has unveiled its 2029 Summer Ocean Voyages, featuring 166 sailings to more than 180 destinations across the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Alaska, Canada and New England.
Highlights include a return to Egypt for the first time in more than five years, a new seven-day itinerary exploring Sweden and Finland’s Gulf of Bothnia, as well as maiden calls in Northern Europe.
Operating the voyages will be the Seabourn Ovation, Quest and Encore.
“Our 2029 Ocean Voyages collection offers guests more ways to spend meaningful time in the destinations they visit, whether that means an overnight at the gateway to the pyramids of Egypt, exploring new ports in Northern Europe or experiencing Alaska with our Expedition Team,” said Crystal Morgan, senior director, deployment and itinerary planning of Seabourn.
“It also reflects what Seabourn does particularly well: combining access to smaller ports and less-traveled places with the personalized service and onboard experience our guests expect.”
Mediterranean – Return to Egypt
Sailing from March through November 2029, the Ovation’s Mediterranean season offers 21 itineraries throughout the Western Mediterranean, Italy, the Adriatic, the Aegean and beyond.
The cruise line underlined its return to Egypt as one of the highlights, with select voyages featuring an overnight stay in Alexandria, providing guests with time to explore Cairo, the Great Pyramids of Giza and other ancient treasures.
New specialty voyages include Italian Coast & Fireworks Over Corsica and Pyramids & Evening at Ephesus.
In addition, the season will include visits to boutique ports and hidden harbors, including a maiden call at Kapsali on the Greek island of Kythira.
The season will feature Seabourn’s complimentary “Evening at Ephesus,” an exclusive private event that brings guests into the ancient city after hours for a classical music performance among its ruins.
In select ports, guests can join Seabourn chefs ashore for Shopping with the Chef, visiting local markets and specialty food shops to discover regional ingredients and culinary traditions.
