Seabourn

What Seabourn is like

Seabourn sails small ocean ships and purpose-built expedition ships with drinks, all dining venues and tips included, suiting travelers who want an uncrowded setting and few onboard bills.

Few onboard extras

Fares include wines and spirits, all restaurants and Starlink Wi-Fi, and tipping isn't expected; spa and optional excursions cost extra.

Included expedition landings

Expedition ships carry about 264 guests, with Zodiac cruises, hikes and lectures included; submarine dives cost extra. (Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit only)

Small ocean ships

Ocean ships such as Seabourn Encore carry about 600 guests in ocean-front suites, most with verandas. (Ocean fleet; capacity cited for Seabourn Encore)

Check before booking

• Ocean voyages include one to three formal nights in The Restaurant depending on length; pack accordingly or plan to dine elsewhere those nights. (Seabourn Quest, Encore and Ovation; no formal nights on Venture or Pursuit)
• Smaller ships move more in rough seas; if prone to seasickness, consider a midship suite, especially on expedition routes with open-ocean crossings. (Noted for expedition ship Seabourn Pursuit; applies generally to small ships)
