Seabourn opened bookings for its first purpose-built expedition ship's revised inaugural season, which sees Seabourn Venture debuting in December 2021.
October 16, 2020

Between then and April 2022, Seabourn Venture will sail on a series of 10- to 14-day Norwegian winter voyages, giving the opportunity to explore the snow-draped landscape, learn about Viking history and culture and search for the northern lights.
Reindeer sledding and overnight camping
The program offers new inclusive and optional expedition outdoor activities, such as skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, dog and reindeer sledding, and more. Dedicated excursions in search of northern lights will be available, including overnight camps at optimal viewing locations.
Seabourn Venture will also carry two six-seat custom submarines, expedition kayaks and 24 Zodiacs, providing exploration opportunities. Development of the shore excursion program is ongoing, with more details to come.

In addition, a complimentary Seabourn Signature Evening Event will be available on all sailings: a concert in the Northern Lights Cathedral at Alta.
Travelers on all the voyages will receive complimentary custom-designed gear outfitted by outdoor apparel company Helly Hansen, the official apparel partner for Seabourn. The PolarShield parkas will feature a Helly Tech outer shell coupled with a removable insulator puff jacket inside. A waterproof WaterShield backpack will also be provided.
