Seabourn Unveils 2027–2029 Ocean Voyages As It Sails Into Its Ruby Jubilee

Seabourn has opened its 2027–2029 ocean voyage collection for sale, unveiling an ambitious lineup of itineraries that will carry the ultra‑luxury line into its 40th anniversary “Ruby Jubilee” year in 2028. Spanning four continents, the new program blends hallmark small‑ship experiences with fresh routes, extended time in port, and special anniversary‑inspired programming across the fleet.

A Milestone “Ruby Jubilee” At Sea

In 2028, Seabourn will celebrate four decades of pioneering small‑ship luxury, tracing its heritage back to the launch of The Yachts of Seabourn in 1988. Every sailing during this Ruby Jubilee year will feature special onboard enhancements, from elevated entertainment to thoughtfully curated celebratory moments that spotlight the brand’s four‑decade story at sea.

A centrepiece of the anniversary celebrations is Seabourn’s exclusive, first‑of‑its‑kind collaboration with The Atlantic, which will bring leading writers and thinkers on board for in‑depth conversations and moderated discussions. Guests can look forward to a signature 12‑day Canada & New England voyage as part of the Seabourn Conversations program, offering a rare blend of editorial insight and immersive destination discovery.

Ruby Collection Voyages And A Landmark World Cruise

To honour this milestone, Seabourn has curated a special Ruby Collection: 40 ocean voyages designed to reflect the line’s pioneering spirit while looking boldly ahead. These voyages span yacht‑harbor‑focused Caribbean and Mediterranean sailings, new itineraries in Japan and Southeast Asia, and a show‑stopping 2028 Cape‑to‑Cape World Cruise aboard Seabourn Quest.

Departing 7 January 2028, the 120‑day Cape‑to‑Cape World Cruise will cross five continents, linking Antarctica, Easter Island, the Falkland Islands, and more with a dramatic Panama Canal transit that nods to Seabourn’s very first sailing. Throughout this globe-spanning journey, guests can expect hallmark Seabourn touches—intuitive service, elevated cuisine, and access to remote destinations only intimate, yacht‑style ships can reach.

2027–2029 Ocean Voyages: Global Highlights

Across the 2027–2029 ocean season, Seabourn will operate 118 departures to 243 destinations in 45 countries, with voyages ranging from seven to 40 days. Each itinerary is crafted for deeper immersion, pairing longer days and overnights with off‑the‑beaten‑path ports that reward curious, well‑travelled guests.

Alaska: Solstice Light And Glacier Frontiers

Seabourn Encore returns to Alaska between May and September 2028 with 16 departures of seven to 21 days, exploring 22 ports along the Canadian Inside Passage and Alaska’s wild coastline. Every voyage features glacier viewing and expedition‑style exploration by Zodiac or kayak, supported by Seabourn’s expert Expedition Team for close‑up encounters with wildlife and dramatic scenery.

New Summer Solstice‑themed sailings offer ten‑ and eleven‑day itineraries that can be combined into a 21‑day Alaska In‑Depth Exploration & Summer Solstice voyage, designed around extended daylight and longer time in nature. Guests can also look forward to new and returning highlights such as Petersburg, Valdez, the wildlife‑rich Chiswell Islands, and scenic cruising at Holgate Glacier and College Fjord.

Japan: Seasonal Moments And Culinary Depth

Seabourn Encore will return to Japan with 18 departures of 12 to 40 days, timed for spring cherry blossoms, autumn foliage, and other iconic seasonal moments across February–April and September–December 2028–2029. The program visits 47 ports and offers access to 23 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, with overnights and extended stays that allow for deeper cultural immersion.

New itineraries include a 16‑day Shanghai and Seoul cruise and a 12‑day Shanghai and Taiwan voyage, expanding the line’s reach across East Asia. Guests will also discover new and returning ports such as Yatsushiro and Muroran in Japan; Ko Samui in Thailand; and Taichung and Tainan (Anping) in Taiwan, enriched by Shopping with the Chef experiences that spotlight regional ingredients and local food culture.

Southeast Asia: After‑Dark Discovery Between Singapore And Hong Kong

Between December 2027 and January 2028, and again from December 2028 to January 2029, Seabourn Encore will sail three 14‑day itineraries between Singapore and Hong Kong, with eight departures focused on immersive Southeast Asia exploration. Calls at nine ports across five countries are planned with extended stays and overnights so guests can experience cultural capitals and coastal gems after dark.

Highlights include a 14‑day holiday voyage visiting Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam; a maiden call at Ko Samui, Thailand; and seasonally timed experiences such as Lunar New Year in Asia and Taiwan’s Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival. On board, the region’s flavors come alive through chef‑led market tours and regionally inspired menus.

Mediterranean: Boutique Harbours And Long Evenings Ashore

From April through December 2028, Seabourn Ovation will operate more than 50 seven‑ to 12‑day sailings across the Mediterranean, with itineraries that can be linked into journeys of up to 37 days. Emphasis is placed on boutique ports and intimate harbours, well away from the big‑ship crowds, enabling a more authentic sense of place.

Longer days and evening departures from ports such as Athens, Dubrovnik, Valletta, Portofino, Cádiz, Tarragona, and Patmos allow guests to linger over late dinners, twilight strolls, and exclusive events like Seabourn’s signature Evening at Ephesus. Shopping with the Chef experiences deepen the connection between local markets and the plate on board.

Northern Europe: UNESCO‑Rich Coasts And Baltic Routes

Between May and September 2028, Seabourn Quest will explore Northern Europe on 13 departures of seven to 14 days, touching the British Isles, Norway, Scandinavia, and the Baltic. The itineraries prioritize extended time ashore, lesser‑visited ports, and experiences tied closely to regional landscapes, traditions, and culinary heritage, including destinations that collectively host more than 27 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

New Baltic sailings round‑trip from Copenhagen and maiden calls in Bodø and Narvik, Norway, expand Seabourn’s footprint in the region for guests seeking cooler‑climate exploration with a strong sense of occasion.

Caribbean: Yacht‑Style Islands And Caviar In The Surf

From November 2027 through March 2028, Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Quest will deliver yacht‑style Caribbean cruising with 21 departures of seven to 14 days, visiting 21 islands. Itineraries are crafted to access secluded harbours and idyllic beaches, with the line’s signature Caviar in the Surf experience at Carambola Beach, St. Kitts, bringing champagne, caviar, and a beach barbecue together in true Seabourn style.

A standout moment of the season will be New Year’s Day 2028, when both Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Quest meet at Carambola Beach for an elevated, beach‑chic celebration to ring in the Ruby Jubilee year.

Canada & New England: Fall Colour With An Editorial Edge

In peak foliage season between September and November 2028, Seabourn Quest will operate four voyages of 12 to 13 days to Canada and New England, combining boutique ports, narrow fjords, and evocative autumn landscapes. Guests can join Shopping with the Chef market visits and savour regional flavours on board, creating a strong culinary throughline to the destinations.

The program will see Seabourn return to Red Bay, Canada, for the first time since 2018, and extend its popular round-trip Montréal itinerary from 12 to 13 days. One of these sailings will host the headline collaboration with The Atlantic, pairing striking fall scenery with thought‑provoking Seabourn Conversations at sea.
