Seabourn already takes guests on expedition cruises to the icy wilds of the Arctic and Antarctica. Now, a new itinerary will combine both into one voyage.
The luxury line will offer its “Pole to Pole: Grand Expedition” in 2027, sailing more than 20,500 nautical miles over 94 days.
“This is the first time in Seabourn’s history – and one of the first in the cruise industry – that a luxury expedition has been designed to explore both polar regions in a single sailing,” Robin West, Seabourn’s Vice President of Expedition Operations & Planning, told USA TODAY in an email. “The idea was born from our desire to push the boundaries of expedition travel and create a journey that few could even imagine, let alone undertake. With Seabourn Venture’s advanced capabilities and PC6 Polar Class rating, we knew we had the right ship to make it a reality.”
Here’s what guests can expect.
The itinerary will start in Reykjavik, Iceland, on Aug. 17, 2027. Guests will spend the night there before taking a charter flight to Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, to board the 264-guest Venture.
