The luxury cruise line introduces new global itineraries and special anniversary programming for its Ruby Jubilee in 2028

Seabourn has opened bookings for its 2027–2029 ocean voyage collection, presenting a series of global itineraries as the luxury cruise line prepares to celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2028. The upcoming Ruby Jubilee season combines new destinations, extended port stays and anniversary-inspired onboard programming across four continents.

The collection includes 118 departures to 243 destinations in 45 countries, with voyages ranging from seven to 40 days. Sailings cover regions including Alaska, Japan, Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Caribbean and Canada and New England. According to the company, the itineraries are designed to emphasise smaller ports and deeper destination immersion typical of yacht-style cruising.

Mark Tamis, president of Seabourn, said: “Travelers choose Seabourn because they want to genuinely connect with the places they visit. As we look ahead to our 40th anniversary, this collection reflects where we began and where we are going, combining our heritage of small-ship luxury with new destinations and itineraries, new first-of-its-kind collaborations, and more opportunities to bring luxury and exploration together in an immersive way.”

Ruby Jubilee celebrations across the fleet

The 2028 season marks four decades since the launch of The Yachts of Seabourn in 1988. Throughout the anniversary year, every sailing will feature special events, themed entertainment and enrichment programmes highlighting the brand’s history.

The celebrations include the Ruby Collection Voyages, a curated series of 40 sailings featuring exclusive experiences and enhanced onboard offerings. The anniversary year will also feature an expanded Seabourn Conversations programme and a new collaboration with The Atlantic, including a special 12-day Canada and New England voyage with guest speakers and moderated discussions.

A highlight of the anniversary season will be the 2028 Cape-to-Cape World Cruise. Departing on 7 January 2028 aboard Seabourn Quest, the 120-day voyage will travel across five continents and include destinations such as Antarctica, Easter Island and the Falkland Islands, as well as a transit of the Panama Canal.

Global itineraries from Alaska to Southeast Asia

The new collection features a wide range of regional programmes. Seabourn Encore will return to Alaska in summer 2028 with voyages of seven to 21 days visiting 22 ports along the Inside Passage and Alaska’s remote coastline.

The same ship will also operate extended seasons in Japan, with voyages timed to coincide with the country’s cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons. Sailings will include visits to UNESCO World Heritage sites as well as overnight stays in major ports.

Additional programmes include Southeast Asia itineraries between Singapore and Hong Kong, Mediterranean voyages on Seabourn Ovation with more than 50 departures, and Northern Europe sailings exploring Scandinavia, Norway and the Baltic.

The Caribbean season between November 2027 and March 2028 will feature voyages to 21 islands, while autumn sailings in Canada and New England will highlight the region’s fall foliage and coastal landscapes.

With the expanded programme, Seabourn aims to offer travellers deeper cultural immersion and access to destinations often beyond the reach of larger cruise ships.
