Story
Founded in 1986, Seabourn reinvents small-ship ultra-luxury cruising by bringing the relaxed elegance of a private yacht to travelers around the world. The first ship, Seabourn Pride, enters service in 1988, followed by Seabourn Spirit in 1989 and Seabourn Legend in 1991, establishing a legacy of personalized service and guest-focused experiences. You sail aboard intimate, all-suite ships that combine spacious accommodations, intuitive service, and thoughtfully curated journeys across all seven continents, from the Mediterranean, Alaska, and Northern Europe to Antarctica, the Arctic, and other remote destinations. In 2009, Seabourn introduces Seabourn Odyssey, followed by Seabourn Sojourn in 2010 and Seabourn Quest in 2011, raising the standard for ultra-luxury cruising with generous space, private verandas, and exceptional onboard amenities. The fleet continues to expand with Seabourn Encore in 2016 and Seabourn Ovation in 2018, offering private verandas for every suite and enhanced complimentary fine dining. In 2022, Seabourn enters a new era of exploration with the purpose-built expedition ship Seabourn Venture, followed by Seabourn Pursuit in 2023, bringing you closer to the world's most remote destinations through Zodiac excursions, kayaking, hiking, nature walks, and expert-led expeditions. Every voyage blends the atmosphere of a private yacht with immersive exploration, allowing you to discover smaller ports, hidden harbors, and extraordinary landscapes beyond the reach of larger ships.
