Seabourn has elevated its onboard entertainment experience with the introduction of “The Seabourn Six” – a new series of original production shows now featured across the line’s entire fleet of ultra-luxury ocean ships, Seabourn Ovation, Seabourn Encore, Seabourn Sojourn and Seabourn Quest.

Seabourn has officially unveiled its 2026/2027 fall, winter, and spring season with new itineraries to Japan, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia. Between November 2026 and April 2027, Seabourn Ovation, Seabourn Encore and Seabourn Quest will offer 31 departures to 73 destinations in 30 countries.

Seabourn has unveiled two new Solar Eclipse cruises exploring Northern Europe and the Mediterranean in late summer 2026. On 12 August 2026, as the moon passes between Earth and the sun to create a total solar eclipse, both Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Sojourn will be strategically aligned to grant guests a unique viewing opportunity of the rare spectacle. Guests’ eclipse viewing experience may change based on weather or cloud coverage.

Seabourn has completed the near-fleetwide installation of next-gen Wi-Fi connectivity with SpaceX’s Starlink, the leader in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology. The upgraded technology provides Seabourn’s guests with faster service, greater connectivity and more reliable Wi-Fi wherever Starlink’s services are available.

Seabourn has unveiled the next chapter in its award-winning culinary experiences with the debut of Solis, a new fine dining venue, that celebrates Mediterranean cuisine inspired by the places visited by the line’s ultra-luxury ships.

Seabourn has named Natalya Leahy as the ultra-luxury cruise line’s new President, succeeding Josh Leibowitz who is departing the brand to “pursue new opportunities”.

The fleet of luxury cruise line Seabourn will soon swell to seven, with a second purpose-built expedition ship, Seabourn Pursuit, now on track to enter service two months earlier than scheduled. But aside from the obvious differences in ship design and ‘toys’ onboard, how does the experience vary for guests between Seabourn’s traditional Ocean fleet and its new ultra-luxury Expedition vessels?

Seabourn Encore has resumed operation this week, with the 600-guest ultra-luxury ship now sailing the waters of the Mediterranean and Canary Islands after a 23-month COVID pause.

Seabourn has trimmed the elapsed time between voyage check-in and suite entry with the introduction of a streamlined embarkation process. Designed to have guests in their suites quicker than ever before, Seabourn is now utilising electronic and mobile boarding passes, as well as assigned embarkation times.

Housekeeping tends to be one of those topics often shied away from by hospitality companies and cruise lines. It’s the not-so-glamourous, yet essential tasks carried out every day, normally behind the scenes. Housekeeping may be viewed as mundane and not overly interesting, let alone “exciting”. That is unless you’re speaking with Gerald Mosslinger, Seabourn’s Senior Vice President of Guest Operations. Then housekeeping – especially since Seabourn restarted operation back in July – offers an increased level of guest interaction.

A series of innovations, refinements and enhancements now offered by Seabourn have been wowing guests since the ultra-luxury cruise line restarted operations in Greece in early July this year.

Seabourn has relaunched services in the United States with the arrival of Seabourn Ovation into PortMiami, Florida on Thursday [18 November 2021] last week. The vessel arrived after a 12-day Atlantic crossing.
