Seabourn Cruise Line

 

Ultra-luxury, the relaxed way.

Seabourn is an ultra-luxury cruise line — think six-star — with a more relaxed, less formal feel than its contemporaries. Small ships with a yacht-like sense of space, effortlessly elegant service, and a genuine warmth that keeps guests coming back.

Current Seabourn Offer — Explore Beyond

Up to US$2,000 shipboard credit, plus a 15% reduced deposit

From the Mediterranean and Northern Europe to Alaska, the Arctic and Antarctica — Seabourn’s Explore Beyond event adds shipboard credit and a reduced deposit on select 2027 and 2028 voyages booked by 16 November 2026. And until 31 October, Arctic expedition bookings made through a travel advisor collect a further US$300.

Explore Beyond, by 16 November

Shipboard credit, by suite

US$500 per suite on Oceanview and Veranda suites, and US$2,000 per suite on Penthouse Suites and above — to spend on board, from spa treatments to shore excursions. A 15% reduced deposit holds your suite.

Arctic bonus — through us, by 31 October

A further US$300 on Arctic expeditions

Svalbard, Greenland, Iceland and the Northwest Passage: new Arctic expedition bookings confirmed by 31 October carry a US$300 bonus credit — a trade offer, only available booking through an advisor like us, stacking to US$2,300 on eligible sailings.

The fine print, honestly

Select sailings, earlier payment

Both offers are capacity-controlled, and bookings under Explore Beyond pay in full earlier than usual — for many 2027 sailings, soon after booking. We check your sailing against the current eligible list and set out exactly what applies before you commit.

These are a few favourites from a long eligible list. Tell us the voyage or the region you’re drawn to and we’ll confirm the current offers and pricing — or browse the full collection on our cruise calendar.

*Explore Beyond applies to new bookings made by 16 November 2026 on select 2027 and 2028 voyages; World Cruises are excluded. Shipboard credit is per suite in US dollars for the first two guests: US$500 on Oceanview and Veranda suites, US$2,000 on Penthouse Suites and above. The 15% reduced deposit requires 15% per person at booking for the first two guests, with the balance due at final payment — and bookings under this offer carry earlier final-payment terms than standard, which we’ll confirm for your sailing before you book. The US$300 Arctic Month bonus applies to new Arctic expedition bookings confirmed by 31 October 2026 and combines with Explore Beyond on eligible sailings. Credits are non-refundable, expire at the end of the voyage, and both offers are capacity-controlled and may be withdrawn. Contact us for current eligibility and fares; full terms with Seabourn.

The Fleet

Five small ships, two ways to explore

Seabourn's fleet of five intimate, all-suite ships divides into three ocean ships — Encore, Ovation and Quest — and two purpose-built expedition ships, Pursuit and Venture. All share the same yacht-like sense of space and relaxed ultra-luxury feel. Explore any ship below to see its suites, deck plans and current voyages.

“Our guests don’t want a chair that looks like something else. They want a chair that looks like a chair, and is comfortable when you sit in it. They want the basics done right.”

01

Country Club Casual

Seabourn’s point of difference is a less formal onboard environment — dress jeans are perfectly welcome — which resonates with many of our New Zealand guests. There are no butlers; instead, the ultra-luxury experience is maintained through dedicated Suite Hosts and Suite Attendants.

02

A small-ship, yacht-like feel

Seabourn’s ocean ships offer an intimate, yacht-like experience that can reach more remote and less crowded ports in regions like the Mediterranean and Alaska. Small in feel, yet with multiple restaurants onboard and suites that are generally more spacious than you’d expect.

03

A genuine commitment to knowing guests

Seabourn has one of the highest return-guest ratios at sea. The crew invest time to learn the names of up to 80 guests before each voyage, and tips are neither required nor expected — underlining the genuine nature of the service.

With over 20 years’ experience booking Seabourn — including onboard inspections when ships call in New Zealand — Fine Travel pairs Seabourn’s ultra-luxury experience with our boutique, concierge-style service, plus a few added benefits when you book through us.

Luxury Expedition

A more active luxury expedition

Seabourn’s purpose-built expedition ships, Pursuit and Venture, appeal to guests who want a more active, hands-on expedition — while staying firmly within the “soft expedition” category. The thoughtful design of the shore excursions and onboard activities is what sets them apart. As the official cruise partner of UNESCO World Heritage, Seabourn weaves that expertise through its expedition itineraries and shore experiences.

World Cruises & Grand Voyages

The journey of a lifetime

Seabourn's World Cruises are amongst the most sought-after voyages at sea. Each is also available as a shorter segment, should the full journey be more time than you have.

Australia & South Pacific Panorama World Cruise route map

Australia & South Pacific Panorama

Seabourn Quest • 145 Days • Jan 2027

A round-trip from Miami through the Panama Canal and South America to Easter Island and French Polynesia — then an extensive exploration of New Zealand and Australia, the Pacific islands and Hawaii. A rare chance to sail your own waters as part of a true World Cruise.

Cape to Cape World Cruise route map

Cape to Cape World Cruise

Seabourn Quest • 120 Days • Jan 2028

From Miami to Southampton via Panama and South America, the Chilean fjords and the five-day Seabourn Antarctic Experience, the Falklands and the remote islands of the South Atlantic, then up the coast of Africa to Europe. One of the most extraordinary voyages afloat.

A World Cruise is a wonderful but significant commitment. If you'd like to talk it through — the itinerary, the suites, flights and timing — rather than book online, we'd be delighted to help.

Antarctica & Polar Expeditions

The white continent, in ultra-luxury

For most of recorded time Antarctica lay beyond the edge of the known world — its isolation keeping all but the most intrepid away. Today you can reach it in a style those early pioneers never dreamed of, yet the wonder is unchanged: sentinel mountain ranges, teeming penguin colonies, stately parades of icebergs, and the unexpected rainbow of mist from a breaching whale.

Every Seabourn Antarctica voyage includes

✓ Inclusive Zodiac tours and landings
✓ A complimentary expedition-grade parka and day pack
✓ Frequent wildlife sightings from ship and shore
✓ A veteran Expedition Team providing narration and insight
✓ An inspiring Enrichment Program and guest speakers
✓ Purpose-built PC6 polar-class expedition ships
