A new trail of new adventures to remote destinations and fascinating places
The purpose-built ship Seabourn Venture is scheduled to arrive in December 2021, launching Seabourn Expedition Cruises on a new trail of adventures to remote destinations already visited and fascinating places yet to be explored.
The ship, with a second yet-to-be-named sister expecting to launch in 2022, boasts a brand new innovative design, created specifically for the ultra-luxury expedition traveller, and will include many features that have already made Seabourn ships so successful.
Both ships, being built by the T. Mariotti Italian shipyard, are designed for diverse environments to PC6 Polar Class standards and will include a mass of modern hardware and technology that will extend the ships global deployment and capabilities.
To enhance the experience, a new offering will be two six-person custom-built submarines carried onboard, providing an unforgettable view of the world beneath the ocean’s surface.
The ships will also carry a complement of double sea kayaks, mountain bikes and ebikes as well as 24 Zodiacs that can accommodate all onboard guests at once, allowing a truly immersive experience.
Seabourn Venture is designed and purpose-built specifically for cruising in elegance and ease in the most coveted, remote and unspoiled destinations on earth.
Engineered for adventure, the ship’s 132 all veranda, all ocean-front suites, as well as all indoor and outdoor social areas designed by the preeminent hospitality designers Adam D Tihany.
The onboard staff will be augmented with a world-class 26-person Expedition Team comprised of veteran wilderness experts, scientists, historians and naturalists.
They will provide expert insights into the history, ecology and culture of the places visited, both in formal presentations and casual conversations over meals or at leisure.
