Seabourn Opens 2027-2029 Ocean Voyages – Celebrates 40 Years in 2028

Luxury and expedition cruise line Seabourn has opened its 2027-2029 ocean voyage collection for sale, unveiling a year of curated itineraries as the luxury line prepares to celebrate its “Ruby Jubilee” in 2028, marking 40 years of exploration at sea. 

Spanning four continents, the new collection features voyages ranging from seven to 40 days, with extended time in port, new destinations, and special anniversary programming woven throughout the3 year.

The 2027–2029 season includes 118 departures to 243 destinations in 45 countries, with sailings across Alaska, Japan, Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean, the Baltic and Northern Europe, the Caribbean, and Canada and New England. Designed for travellers seeking deeper, more meaningful exploration, the itineraries emphasize smaller ports, longer stays, and experiences only intimate, yacht–style exploration can deliver.

“Travellers choose Seabourn because they want to genuinely connect with the places they visit,” said Seabourn president Mark Tamis. “As we look ahead to our 40th anniversary, this collection reflects where we began and where we are going, combining our heritage of small–ship luxury with new destinations and itineraries, new first-of-its-kind collaborations, and more opportunities to bring luxury and exploration together in an immersive way.”

Seabourn’s 2028 season marks the line’s Ruby Jubilee, commemorating four decades of pioneering small–ship luxury travel that began in 1988 with The Yachts of Seabourn. Throughout the year, every sailing will feature special onboard enhancements inspired by the milestone.
