Set Sail in Style: Seabourn’s Exciting New 2026–2027 Itineraries

If you’re after a cruise experience that marries ultra‑luxury with off‑the‑beaten‑track adventures, Seabourn is set to impress. The leader in ultra‑luxury cruising and expedition travel has just unveiled a dazzling new season of sailings, spanning fall, winter, and spring from 2026 to 2027. With 31 departures taking you to 73 unique destinations across 30 countries, there’s something to spark every wanderer’s imagination.

Between November 2026 and April 2027, the award-winning Seabourn Ovation, Seabourn Encore, and Seabourn Quest will be your keys to exploring everything from the blossoming landscapes of Japan to the sun‑kissed islands of the Caribbean and the culinary treasures of Southeast Asia. And, as if that weren’t enough, signature events like Seabourn Caviar in the Surf promise those special moments that define a Seabourn voyage.

An Immersive Taste of Japan and Southeast Asia

For those dreaming of Japan’s alluring springtime magic, Seabourn Encore is rolling out two brand‑new itineraries timed perfectly with the plum blossom season. Imagine a 12‑day “Jewels of Taiwan & Japan” voyage setting off from Hong Kong and arriving in Tokyo on 15 February 2027, or a 14‑day “Sea of Japan & Plum Blossoms” roundtrip from Tokyo commencing on 27 February 2027. These journeys promise glorious floral displays alongside the chic urban charm of Tokyo and exquisite cultural stops in Osaka, Kanazawa, and beyond.

But that’s not all. Seabourn Encore will also immerse you in the vibrant culinary and cultural scenes of Southeast Asia. With a series of sailings ranging from eight to 14 days, you’ll explore bustling Singapore, sample local delicacies with “Shopping with the Chef” experiences, and even enjoy overnight stays in gems like Laem Chabang or Ho Chi Minh City. Two new roundtrip voyages from Singapore further tempt you with an eight‑day “Malaysia & Thailand: Malacca Strait Explorer” and a 14‑day “Gulf of Thailand & Malaysian Peninsula” itinerary. And don’t miss the chance to revel in a signature Caviar in the Surf event on the pristine shores of Ko Kood, Thailand.

Caribbean Escapades Among White Sands and Vibrant Culture

Looking to trade cityscapes for turquoise waters and powder‑blue beaches? Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Quest are set to explore the Caribbean’s diverse islands between November 2026 and March 2027. With 20 departures featuring voyages from seven to 16 days, departures will be available from Barbados, St Maarten, Miami, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

On these sailings you’ll visit 24 ports across 19 islands and countries, including seven UNESCO World Heritage sites. Enjoy exclusive experiences such as “Shopping with the Chef” in Bridgetown and a memorable Marina Day, before taking part in the unique Caviar in the Surf beach barbecue at Carambola Beach, St Kitts. Whether it’s:

• Little Bay, Montserrat – Where volcanic landscapes earn it nicknames like the “Pompei of the Caribbean” and the “Emerald Isle of the Caribbean.”
• Carambola Beach, St Kitts – The scene for Seabourn’s signature beach event, where uniformed officers serve up chilled Champagne right in the surf.
• Willemstad, Curacao – With its colourful Dutch‑inspired colonial streets and gracefully arching bridges linking the city’s two halves.

Each stop is crafted to allow you to savour the Caribbean’s natural beauty and cultural dynamism.

Unforgettable Holiday Voyages

Seabourn isn’t forgetting the festive season either. New for 2026, Seabourn Encore will set sail on a 22‑day holiday voyage from Singapore, departing on 14 December and concluding in Hong Kong on 5 January 2027. This itinerary offers a dazzling taste of Southeast Asia with stops in Malaysia, the Gulf of Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam—including a magical Christmas Day visit to Ko Kood.

Meanwhile, Seabourn Quest will charm with a 16‑day roundtrip from Miami, featuring a Christmas Day call at Carambola Beach and ringing in the New Year with a special stop at St John’s, Antigua. And for those who fancy a Caribbean holiday, Seabourn Ovation presents:

• A seven‑day voyage from Barbados to Sint Maarten, departing on 21 December 2026, with a Christmas Day stop at Jost van Dyke.
• A complementary seven‑day voyage from Sint Maarten back to Barbados on 28 December 2026, featuring a New Year’s Day call in Grenada.

These shorter itineraries can even be combined for an extended 14‑day roundtrip, ensuring your festive season is as indulgent as it is adventurous.
