Seabourn Sojourn's voyages include less-visited gems in the Inside Passage
Seabourn has returned to Alaska for the first time in 15 years, officially kicking off today with an 11-day 'Ultimate Alaskan' cruise from Vancouver, BC.

The line has curated a series of 11-, 12- and 14-day voyages on Seabourn Sojourn from Seward and Vancouver. They feature popular ports and less-visited gems of the Inside Passage, and Ventures by Seabourn guided kayak and Zodiac tours.

'Like our guests, we've been counting down to this season. We're going to offer an Alaska experience with no compromises—an ultra-luxury hospitality environment combined with adventurous off-ship experiences,' Seabourn president Rick Meadows said.

Rarely visited locations include Alert Bay and Klemtu, a town of fewer than 500 people belonging to the Kitasoo Native Band and where passengers will have an exclusive cultural experience. Travelers may see humpback whales breaching in the Kenai Fjords.

Juneau, Ketchikan and Sitka are also in the itineraries.

And Seabourn Sojourn will visit Glacier Bay National Park as part of its 11-day cruises.

Misty Fjords and Tracy Arm afford other opportunities to experience wildlife-rich waterways, forested mountain vistas and lacy waterfalls on up-close Ventures by Seabourn.

Each cruise includes a complimentary Seabourn all-weather jacket, 'Seabourn Conversations' with special guest speakers and a 'Caviar on the Ice' deck party, among other special deck events.
