The news of the cruise line's return to Canadian waters comes following an announcement by the Canadian federal government prescribing protocols for the return of cruise ships to Canada in 2022. Seabourn has confirmed its scheduled to return to Alaska and British Columbia and Canada and New England itineraries this year.
“We welcome this new guidance from the Canadian government that will allow our guests to visit beautiful ports in Canada again,” said Josh Leibowitz, President of Seabourn.
“We look forward to returning to these amazing destinations and offering our travelers a world of experiences on land and at sea. With only 458 guests on board the Seabourn Odyssey, these voyages to Canada this summer space is very limited.”
Whether choosing to explore Alaskan glaciers aboard Seabourn Odyssey or sail alongside the beauty of the east coast on Seabourn Quest, all guests will enjoy a small ship experience, which provides an intimate glimpse of destinations - and is "especially appealing to those looking to travel a bit closer to home," says the cruise line in a release.
In 2022, Seabourn confirms it will offer a selection of voyages on both the eastern and western sides in Canada.
Alaska and British Columbia
From May through September 2022, Seabourn Odyssey will sail to Alaska and British Columbia with a series of seven-day voyages between Vancouver and Juneau. Each seven-day cruise can be combined to create a 14-day round-trip Vancouver voyage.
In addition, the ship will sail four 10- and 11-day round-trip voyages from Vancouver. Each voyage will include spectacular glacier experiences in places like Glacier Bay, Hubbard Glacier or Tracy/Endicott Arm, and will also offer the popular Ventures by Seabourn program of expedition-style experiences led by the onboard expedition team.
Canada and New England
Beginning late August 2022, Seabourn Quest will explore the vivid beauty of autumn along the eastern side of Canada with a series of 12-day voyages to Canada and New England. The ship will sail between Montreal and Manhattan in New York City, with one 12-day Canadian Autumn cruise with heavy Canadian content sailing round-trip from Montreal on September 22.
With the season cooling, the ship will head south in late October from Montreal on a 14-day Atlantic Coast Harbors cruise to Miami.
