SEATTLE, March 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Seabourn, the
ultra-luxury cruise line, has unveiled its new expedition
itineraries in the summer and fall 2022 for Seabourn
Venture, the line's first ultra-luxury purpose-built expedition
ship. Between early May and late October
2022, Seabourn Venture will visit breathtaking
locations and remote destinations throughout the Arctic, the
Caribbean, and Central and
South America – offering
travelers unique opportunities to experience expedition travel and
exhilarating adventure in a way that is unique to Seabourn.
The new 2022 expedition itineraries include 16 immersive
voyages, ranging from 10- to 15-days and featuring a variety of
opportunities for travelers to discover diverse wildlife, pristine
landscapes, and learn about the natural wonders, rich history and
culture of each region. Additionally, select voyages may be
combined to create sailings of up to 29 days in length. The
itineraries, fares and additional booking details are available at
www.seabourn.com.
"With new routes winding from the Arctic to the coast of
Chile, our expedition itineraries
in 2022 will offer a 'safari at sea' where travelers experience the
diversity of nature and wildlife on either side of the equator
together with Seabourn," said Josh
Leibowitz, president of Seabourn. "Seabourn
Venture will offer the perfect balance of immersive, compelling
adventures combined with our unrivalled luxury service to provide a
truly breathtaking experience."
Seabourn Venture is the line's first dedicated
expedition ship. Seabourn has been offering expedition-style
experiences, including Zodiac, kayak and hiking excursions, since
2013 in worldwide destinations such as Antarctica, Alaska, the Amazon, Northern Europe, Greenland, Iceland and Australasia.
Highlights of Seabourn Venture's expedition itineraries
for summer and fall 2022 include:
The Arctic, Greenland,
Iceland & the Canadian
Arctic
Seabourn Venture will celebrate the
coming of summer in the Arctic, where guests can explore the
seasonal extravagance in the northern polar region, visit Viking
ruins, view whales, walrus and seals up close, and trek to
waterfalls and shining blue-white glaciers.
Starting May 4, 2022, Seabourn
Venture's Arctic summer season will begin halfway between
Norway's North Cape and the
North Pole as the ship embarks on
a series of eight Arctic Svalbard summer cruises between Tromso and
Longyearbyen (which includes a return flight to Oslo), lasting 11 days. Rising dramatically
from the Arctic Ocean, the islands of Svalbard, Norway are both rugged and fragile natural
beauties, despite being largely covered by glaciers. Travelers
riding in Zodiacs, paddling kayaks, and trekking past old Trapper
huts will experience and explore the islands through the summer
season, between May and July
2022.
Seabourn Venture will spend the remainder of summer
through September 2022 exploring the
Arctic. The ship will sail on five 11- to 15-day voyages in the
region, visiting many far-flung locations in Svalbard, the North Cape and other locations
in Norway, as well as Iceland, Greenland, and the Canadian Arctic Archipelago
in Nunavut, the most remote and
least-populated destinations explored during Seabourn
Venture's Arctic season. Destination highlights include
Scoresby Sound, Greenland,
home to the largest and longest fjord system in the world;
Sermilik Fjord, located in southeastern Greenland and renowned for the many icebergs
that flow from multiple glaciers at its head into the Denmark
Strait; Svalbard; and
Pond Inlet, Nunavut, the
eastern entry to the Northwest Passage. For a more in-depth
experience, these voyages may be combined for up to 29 days in
length.
Caribbean, Central America and South America
Following Seabourn
Venture's expedition voyages up north, the ship will make its
way south in October 2022, stopping
at various exotic locales in Bermuda, the Caribbean, Panama Canal, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, and Chile. During three 10- to 14-day voyages,
there will be opportunities to explore in Zodiacs under teeming
bird cliffs, kayak among tropical coral islands, visit ancient Inca
sites, and snorkel unspoiled Caribbean coral gardens. The season will
finish with Sailing the Humboldt Route departing from Callao
(Lima), Peru, on October 26,
2022, and arriving 12 days later in San Antonio, Chile, with destinations including
Isla Pan De Azucar, the
National Humboldt Penguin Reserve on three islands a short
distance off the coast of the mainland, and Coquimbo,
renowned for seafood brought in by colorful fishing boats; and
more. Guests may also book back-to-back cruises for a longer
and more immersive voyage lasting up to 26 days.
Featuring 132 oceanfront suites each, Seabourn's two new
expedition ships are being designed from conception for expedition
travel blended with ultra-luxury and personalized service by a
world class team of professionals with great depth of experience in
expeditions, hospitality, and luxury cruising. Hospitality
design icon Adam D. Tihany is fashioning the indoor and outdoor
guest areas for the ships.
Both ships will be designed and built for diverse environments
to PC6 Polar Class standards and will include a plethora of modern
hardware and technology that will extend the ships global
deployment and capabilities. Two custom-built submarines will be
carried onboard, in addition to expedition kayaks and 24
Zodiacs that can accommodate all onboard guests at once. Both
expedition vessels will feature an onboard crew that will include a
world class expedition team of 26 highly regarded wilderness
experts, scientists, historians and naturalists. These fascinating,
accomplished experts are also part of the Seabourn Conversations
