SEATTLE, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Seabourn, the leader in luxury cruising and expedition travel, has opened for sale its 2028 to 2029 expedition voyage collection, unveiling a compelling season shaped by deeper exploration in the Arctic and the line's second Grand Expedition: Pole to Pole as part of Seabourn's 40^th anniversary in 2028.

During the 2028–2029 expedition season, Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit will offer 49 departures ranging from eight to 96 days and visiting more than 180 destinations across 29 countries. Highlights of the season include expanded Arctic exploration across Svalbard, Greenland, Iceland and Arctic Canada; Antarctica, South Georgia, the Falkland Islands and select remote-region voyages spanning the Chilean Fjords, and remote Atlantic. The itineraries maximize time in nature with Zodiac cruising, kayaking, guided landings, and immersive enrichment. Seabourn Pursuit and Seabourn Venture will explore new and returning destinations including Ellesmere Island, scenic cruising of Boatswain Bird Island in Ascension, deeper exploration of St. Helena & Tristan da Cunha, Cape Clear Island in Ireland, multiple new points across Labrador and Nunavut, and Tvoroyri in the Faroe Islands.

"As Seabourn approaches its 40^th anniversary, our 2028–2029 expedition season is designed for travelers who want to explore the world's most remote places in a deeper and more meaningful way," said Mark Tamis, president of Seabourn. "From the return of our Grand Expedition: Pole to Pole to a broader Arctic program that reaches places like Svalbard and the Canadian High Arctic, these voyages reflect our commitment to pairing purposeful exploration with the service and luxury experience our guests expect from Seabourn."

A Landmark Year: The 2028 Grand Expedition: Pole to Pole
In a defining moment for the brand during its 40^th anniversary year, Seabourn will once again unite the world's southernmost and northernmost frontiers with its second Grand Expedition: Pole to Pole. Departing on August 17, 2028, the extraordinary 96–day voyage will sail from Reykjavik to Ushuaia, traveling more than 20,500 nautical miles across 147 degrees of latitude from the High Arctic to Antarctica in one continuous journey.

Along the way, guests will enjoy rare wildlife encounters and immersive expedition experiences across 14 countries and territories, including five days in Antarctica, three days in South Georgia, and three days in the Falkland Islands with a call to Port Stanley. The voyage also crosses the Equator, Tropic of Cancer, and Tropic of Capricorn, features 62 days of expedition and port experiences, and is bookended with a pre–cruise hotel stay in Reykjavik and charter flight to Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, as well as a post–charter flight to Buenos Aires.

Highlights of the voyage include:

• High Arctic Exploration across Greenland and Arctic Canada where guests can experience stunning landscapes and remote northern cultures of Greenland and Arctic Canada.
  
  
• Wildlife viewing ranging from polar bears and beluga whales to penguins, leopard seals, seabirds and more.
  
  
• South Georgia & the Falkland Islands, home to remarkable concentrations of wildlife such as black–browed albatross and six penguin species across the two destinations, with five species found in the Falklands and four in South Georgia, including king, gentoo, Magellanic, chinstrap, rockhopper and macaroni penguins, and featuring up to 450,000 pairs of king penguins.
  
  
• Northern Lights searching from the ship's Constellation Lounge while in the Arctic, offering sweeping panoramic views.

Two Ways to Sail, One Grand Experience
Guests may choose between two itinerary options: a 96–day voyage or an 82–day option joining later. Both itineraries feature the same expedition experiences and thoughtfully curated amenities and Seabourn's hallmark inclusions, including world–class dining, premium spirits and fine wines; spacious, luxuriously appointed suites equipped with Swarovski binoculars and heated wardrobes; daily expedition briefings, Fireside Chats, Signature Events such as the Polar Plunge, Caviar on the Ice, and more. In addition to complimentary Zodiac tours, guided hikes, guests will receive two kayak tours, a custom Polar Parka, designed exclusively for this Grand Expedition.

Highlights of the 2028–2029 Expedition Voyages
During Seabourn's 40^th anniversary year, the line has curated an expedition season to bring guests closer to the natural world through thoughtfully timed itineraries, longer windows for landings and Zodiac exploration, and in-depth regional programming. The season will include more Arctic expeditions than ever before, including Seabourn Pursuit's first season exploring the Arctic and select remote regions, followed by Antarctica expeditions to close out the year.

The Arctic and Svalbard
Between April and September 2028, both Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit will explore the Arctic across a broader range of itineraries spanning Svalbard, Greenland, Iceland, the Canadian Arctic and Northwest Passage. With both ships exploring the northern polar region in 2028, the season expands Seabourn's Arctic program with more opportunities for exploration across the Arctic. In response to strong guest interest, Seabourn is offering more Arctic sailings in one season, timed for extended daylight hours, favorable ice conditions, and seasonal access to some of the region's most remote and dramatic landscapes.

Guests will sail among Greenland's vast fjord systems, explore the magnitude of Baffin Island, and set sail on new itineraries to the Torngat Mountains of northern Labrador, where soaring peaks and glacial inlets define one of Canada's most striking Arctic landscapes. Other voyages reach the High Arctic, including Ellesmere Island, one of the world's northernmost and most remote frontiers. Seabourn Venture will trace the storied Northwest Passage, long associated with the history of exploration, while Seabourn Pursuit will mark the line's return to Svalbard, where sea ice, glacier-carved coastlines, and isolated landing sites shape the experience. Across the region, exploration is enriched by expert context on both the natural environment and the communities that have long inhabited these northern frontiers.
