Seabourn Venture sets sail on its first voyage
Seabourn Venture, the first of Seabourn‘s two new ultra-luxury expedition ships, entered service and welcomed its first guests aboard on a 12-day Northern Islands expedition, departing from Tromsø, Norway, and heading to the Arctic and the Svalbard archipelago.
“Exploration has always been a part of our brand heritage, but the launch of Seabourn Venture opens a new chapter for us, offering our guests the opportunity to explore remote destinations in every corner of the globe and truly be a part of the natural wonders, wildlife, history and culture they will find there,” said Josh Leibowitz, president of Seabourn. “Seabourn guests are as passionate about discovery as they are about ultra-luxury travel, and Seabourn Venture offers a new kind of expedition experience that allows our guests to discover magnificence from the Arctic to Antarctica.”

Seabourn Venture now begins its inaugural season with a series of 12- to 15-day voyages exploring the Arctic, Greenland and Iceland and the Canadian Arctic Archipelago in Nunavut. Destination highlights include Scoresby Sound, Greenland, Sermilik Fjord, Svalbard and Pond Inlet, Nunavut.
The ship will head south in October 2022, stopping at various locations in the Caribbean, Central America, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Chile on a series of 10- to 14-day voyages.
