Seabourn's second purpose-built expedition vessel, Seabourn Pursuit, will enter service on 12AUG, 2023 with a series of seven new pre-inaugural sailings to the Mediterranean, Transatlantic and Caribbean, which are now on sale.
“We are excited to offer our guests the chance to sail on our new ship, Seabourn Pursuit, and visit some of the very best destinations and hidden harbors along the Rivieras and Caribbean,” said Seabourn President Josh Leibowitz. “As with every ship in our fleet, Seabourn Pursuit will invite guests to enjoy small ship cruising as only Seabourn delivers it, with an intimate atmosphere that encourages guests to make meaningful connections, and a welcoming onboard team that is focused on delivering unforgettable ‘Seabourn Moments’.”
The second of two new expedition vessels from Seabourn in the past two years, Seabourn Pursuit is purpose-built and designed to provide adventurous guests with life-changing moments in ultra-luxury comfort. While expedition experiences will not be offered on these new itineraries, guests will still experience the many Seabourn amenities and services they know and love, such as the line’s renowned fine dining options, entertainment, luxurious suites and personalized service.
