Seabourn has launched a limited-time promotion covering selected cruises through 2029. The luxury cruise line’s Explore Beyond Event offers up to $2,000 in shipboard credit per suite for new bookings made between September 23 and November 16, 2026.
Reduced deposits are also available in selected markets, including the United States, Canada and Australia. The promotion covers itineraries across several regions and includes both conventional luxury cruises and expedition voyages.
Mediterranean programme includes Ephesus experience
The Mediterranean is one of the main regions featured in the promotion, with selected 2027 and 2028 departures included. Seabourn combines its itineraries with destination experiences such as local market visits and its “Shopping with the Chef” programme.
In Turkey, the cruise line offers its “Evening at Ephesus”, a private concert staged among the ancient ruins. Mediterranean itineraries combine major ports with smaller destinations across the region.
One of the selected voyages is an eight-day Seabourn Ovation cruise from Genoa to Rome, departing April 30, 2027. The itinerary includes destinations in Italy, France and Tunisia.
Caribbean and Northern Europe among selected itineraries
The promotion also covers a seven-day Southern Caribbean voyage aboard Seabourn Ovation from January 2 to 9, 2027. The itinerary visits Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao, combining the three Dutch Caribbean islands in a single sailing.
In Northern Europe, Seabourn Quest will operate a seven-day Sweden, Denmark and Kiel Canal itinerary from August 7 to 14, 2027. The voyage combines Scandinavian destinations with a transit of Germany’s Kiel Canal.
Guests receiving shipboard credit can use it for a range of additional services, including shore excursions, spa treatments, boutique purchases and an upgraded Starlink-powered Stream Wi-Fi package. It can also be applied to private guided tours and selected culinary experiences.
Expedition ships head for Arctic and Antarctica
More remote destinations are represented by voyages aboard Seabourn’s expedition ships. Seabourn Venture will operate a 14-day Wild Isles of the North Atlantic itinerary from June 19 to July 3, 2027, visiting destinations including the Shetland Islands, Faroe Islands and Iceland.
Seabourn Pursuit will head south for an 11-day Antarctic voyage departing March 13, 2027. The programme combines exploration of the Antarctic landscape and wildlife with expedition activities accompanied by the ship’s specialist team.
Alaska is also included. A 14-day roundtrip voyage from Vancouver aboard Seabourn Encore, departing June 25, 2027, will combine glaciers, fjords, the Inside Passage and calls at coastal communities.
Promotion runs until November 16
“The Explore Beyond Event showcases the breadth of experiences available across our global voyages,” said Seabourn President Mark Tamis. “Whether exploring local cultures and flavors in the Mediterranean through Shopping with the Chef, discovering the vibrant islands of the Caribbean, or venturing to the remote reaches of the Arctic, guests can experience how exploration and luxury come together at Seabourn.”
The booking window remains open until November 16, giving the travel trade a sales period of almost eight weeks. With qualifying departures extending as far as 2029, the promotion also covers customers planning luxury and expedition cruises several years in advance.
