ABROAD & BEYOND
Chill Out
Next-level Antarctica, thanks to
Seabourn’s newest itineraries.
When one thinks of a luxury vacation, images of sun-soaked beaches, tropical cocktails, and palm trees typically come to mind. But dare to swap your swimsuit for a parka, palm trees for icebergs, and dolphins for penguins and discover an enchanted place where luxury cruising meets pure wonder. Antarctica awaits.
Seabourn is redefining high living on the high seas with luxurious Antarctic cruise offerings. As such, South America to South Pole itineraries should quickly perch at its rightful place — the top of your travel wish list.

Antarctic Adventuring
Sail and step where few have gone before with Seabourn. Historically, Antarctica’s isolation and the necessary rigors of the journey kept all but the most intrepid of travelers away. Those who do venture to the fringes of the South Pole come away with stories of its magnificence. Trip adventure highlights include daily Zodiac landings, catamaran-ing the Beagle Channel, and kayaking South Georgia Island. Walk on the Wild Side with a hike across stunning landscapes to spot wildlife and sights few have seen before.
Depending on the cruise you choose, you’ll have the option to sail by volcanos, fjords, and lakes on the Chilean coastline, spot the imposing glaciers of Patagonia, and ignite your senses with a taste South American culture.

Excursion with Experts
Each day is an opportunity to discover something new with experts by your side. Seabourn’s Excursion Team, equipped with top-of-the-line Swarovski binoculars and only the best tools of the trade, lead you to up-close views of some of nature’s most elusive landscapes and wildlife — from colonies of curious penguins to napping fur seals to whales swimming alongside the ship.
Along the journey, your expert guides are there to share keen insights and details of the history, ecology, and culture of each region through formal presentations and casual conversations, imparting you with a deeper knowledge and appreciation of the areas you’re passing through.

Back Onboard
A Seabourn ship is more than a portal to adventure, but a luxurious floating home-away-from-home. The smaller ship sizes create an atmosphere of an intimate club, complete with intuitive service. Enjoy enriching programs, award-winning culinary offerings, and world-class spa treatments — ideal for unwinding after a day of sightseeing thrills.
Stay in luxuriously-appointed all oceanfront suites with walk-in closets, spacious marble bathrooms, and sitting and dining areas. Most even feature private verandas to take in the sights from the comfort of your own space.
Experience the extraordinary thanks to Seabourn.
