Seabourn’s second ultra-luxury expedition ship, Seabourn Pursuit, has welcomed its first guests onboard and embarked on its inaugural voyage from Valetta, Malta, to Rome.
The eight-day sailing kicks off the ship’s maiden season, sailing to the Kimberley Region and South Pacific over the next year.
“For 10 years, we have offered immersive, ultra-luxury expedition experiences with our team of experts, and now we have two purpose-built, ultra-luxury, state-of-the-art expedition ships: Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit. They take expedition experiences to the next level and deliver truly out of the ordinary experiences to our extraordinary guests.”
Natalya Leahy, president of Seabourn
Seabourn Pursuit is a purpose-built expedition vessel designed to provide guests with extraordinary experiences combined with life-expanding moments in ultra-luxury comfort. The ship will offer all of the Seabourn amenities and services that guests know and love, such as the cruise line’s fine dining options, entertainment, luxury suites and personalised onboard service.
Seabourn Pursuit is enhanced by world-class equipment that allows the cruise line to offer its widest range ever of expedition activities led by an expert team of scientists, scholars, naturalists, and more. The brand-new ship is designed and built for remote, diverse environments and will include modern hardware and technology to extend the ship’s global deployment and capabilities.
Onboard the ship, guests can find up to 30,000 square feet of deck space, including indoor and outdoor guest areas with nearly 270-degree views, and a 4K GSS Cineflex Camera mounted on the mast of the Constellation Lounge- capable of broadcasting imagery from miles ahead on monitors located throughout the ship and in guest suites.
Alike the rest of Seabourn’s fleet, Seabourn Pursuit offers plenty of space and elegance, eight gourmet dining facilities, and luxurious all-suite accommodations- including a pair of two-level Wintergarden suites. Additionally, the vessel is equipped with SpaceX’s Starlink to enhance WiFi connectivity and speed for guests.
Between August and October this year, Seabourn Pursuit will sail five voyages in the Mediterranean, plus two cruises across the Atlantic and through the Caribbean.
On 10th October 2023, the ship will arrive in Barbados, ready to begin its expedition journeys and head south for expeditions exploring coastal South America, the Amazon, and Antarctica into March 2024.
Following its inaugural Antarctic season, Seabourn Pursuit will head across the South Pacific islands and eventually to Australia- which will be the beginning of the cruise line’s first exploration of the Kimberley region in the Northern Territory and Western Australia between June and August 2024.
In addition to the Kimberley, the ship will visit Papua New Guinea, West Papua, Indonesia and sail across the South Pacific between Chile and Melanesia between March and October 2024.
“Our guests will discover natural wonders and amazing wildlife above and below the sea in the most remote destinations, guided by our expert expedition team, while enjoying our signature ultra-luxury style when they sail on our beautiful new ship.”
Natalya Leahy, president of Seabourn
