Seabourn’s ‘Explore More Event’: Save Up to 15% Plus Shipboard Credit on Ultra-Luxury Cruises

Seabourn is kicking off 2026 with a serious invitation to travel lovers: its annual Explore More Event is back, offering savings of up to 15 percent plus up to US$1,000 shipboard credit per suite on a huge range of ultra‑luxury voyages and expeditions sailing between 2026 and 2028. Available to book until 17 February 2026, the promotion covers most of Seabourn’s global programme, from Alaska and Antarctica to Japan, the Mediterranean and beyond, making it one of the brand’s strongest value offers of the year.​

What the Explore More Event includes

Guests booking eligible sailings during the Explore More Event can unlock three key benefits: up to 15 percent off select ocean and expedition itineraries, a 15 percent reduced deposit, and up to US$1,000 in shipboard credit per suite (amounts vary by voyage and accommodation type). The savings apply across much of Seabourn’s 2026–2028 schedule, allowing travellers to secure future bucket‑list trips at a sharper price, while the lower deposit makes it easier to confirm longer or more premium voyages.​

That shipboard credit can be used to elevate almost every part of the journey: curated shore excursions, spa treatments, boutique shopping, reserve wine packages, and the Stream Wi‑Fi package powered by Starlink are all eligible, as are private cabanas at The Retreat and immersive shoreside experiences such as private tours and culinary adventures. It’s a flexible bonus that suits both expedition guests who want extra adventures off the ship and ocean cruisers who prefer to indulge on board.​

Sample voyages: from Alaska fjords to Antarctic ice

As part of the promotion, Seabourn is highlighting some standout itineraries. In Alaska, a 7‑day Alaska Fjords & Canadian Inside Passage sailing on Seabourn Encore on 19 June 2026 brings guests into glacier‑carved fjords, narrow inlets and wildlife‑rich channels, with optional Ventures by Seabourn Zodiac and kayak outings led by an expert Expedition Team. For those drawn to the polar south, a 21‑day Antarctica, South Georgia & Falkland Islands expedition on Seabourn Venture on 18 November 2026 combines Zodiac landings, guided walks and wildlife encounters with ultra‑luxury expedition comforts and optional extras like kayaking, submarine dives and dedicated photography programmes.​

In Japan, Seabourn Encore’s 14‑day Japan’s Crafts & Cherry Blossoms (16 March 2026) and 12‑day Harvest Horizons: Japan’s Coastal Charms (22 October 2026) are timed for sakura and autumn foliage, pairing marquee ports with smaller harbours where larger ships rarely call. Guests can expect craft and culinary‑focused shore experiences, such as exploring markets with Seabourn chefs, valley hikes, sake brewery visits and hands‑on cultural encounters. Around the Med, a 14‑day Grecian Gems & Dalmatian Delights itinerary on Seabourn Quest on 16 August 2026 threads through smaller yacht harbours and boutique ports like Monemvasia, Sarandë and Brindisi, with time for volcano hikes in Santorini, wine tasting in Dubrovnik and snorkelling off Korčula.​

Life on board: small ships, big inclusions

All Explore More Event voyages feature Seabourn’s hallmark ultra‑luxury style: all‑suite, ocean‑front accommodation, personalised service, complimentary premium drinks, fine dining, gratuities included and a relaxed, yacht‑like atmosphere. On expedition ships such as Seabourn Venture, guests also have access to Zodiacs, kayaks and a dedicated Expedition Team, combining serious exploration with creature comforts like lounges, spa facilities and gourmet cuisine.​

Seabourn president Mark Tamis describes the Explore More Event as the ideal moment to plan a “voyage of true discovery,” whether that means glaciers in Alaska, wildlife in Antarctica or cherry blossoms in Japan. For travellers who prefer small‑ship luxury and carefully chosen ports over mega‑ship crowds, the combination of fare savings, reduced deposits and substantial shipboard credit makes this a particularly appealing window to book.​

With offers spanning three years of departures and covering both classic and expedition itineraries, Seabourn’s Explore More Event is a strong option for anyone considering an ultra‑luxury cruise – especially those eyeing longer voyages or once‑in‑a‑lifetime destinations that are usually at the top of the pricing curve.
