SEATTLE, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Seabourn, the ultra-luxury resort at sea, has
announced updated itineraries and schedule changes to its 2021
Alaska and British Columbia season between May and
September 2021 on Seabourn Odyssey.
The entire season will now consist of 18 seven-day voyages
between Vancouver, Canada, and
Juneau, Alaska, taking guests
to the region's most popular destinations, as well as hidden gems
along the Inside Passage rarely visited by most cruise lines.
Seabourn revised the itineraries to operate on a seven-day basis
to meet the requirements of the Framework for Resuming Cruise Ship
Operations order issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) for sailings with U.S. port calls. To accomplish
this, the line has changed its deployment to rotating seven-day
north and southbound itineraries operating from Vancouver, British Columbia and Juneau, AK. A number of these voyages will
feature the incredible Glacier Bay experience as Seabourn is one of
the only ultra-luxury brands with permits to explore Glacier
Bay.
"We're dedicated to delivering an authentic ultra-luxury
experience in one of the most spectacular regions in the world,
including remote, pristine ports that are difficult to access if
you're not coming by Seabourn-sized ships," said Josh Leibowitz, president of Seabourn. "At
the same time, we are committed to meeting the CDC's requirements
to return to service and bring guests back to our ships in a safe
and healthy model."
Seabourn's newly revised itineraries for its 2021 Alaska and
British Columbia season will
feature voyages carefully curated to provide guests with an
in-depth and enriching experience in "The Great Land." Each
week-long cruise will include spectacular glacier experiences in
places like Glacier Bay, Hubbard Glacier or Tracy/Endicott Arm.
Voyages also include the popular Ventures by Seabourn program of
expedition-style experiences led by the onboard expedition team.
More information on the line's Alaska season is available on Seabourn's
website.
The updated Alaska and
British Columbia season will
re-open for booking on the following dates:

As a result of the deployment changes, Seabourn's revised 2021
Alaska and British Columbia season
will begin on May 28, 2021, and
therefore, the line has canceled two voyages: the Pacific Coastal
sailing scheduled for May 15, 2021
and the Alaska voyage that was set
to depart May 21, 2021.
Seabourn will be communicating changes and specific details to
guests and their travel advisors on the affected voyages.
