The ultra-luxury line will celebrate same-day
U.S. arrival with "A Toast on Both Coasts" in Seattle and Miami on September 29,
2023
SEATTLE, Sept. 29,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Seabourn, the leader
in ultra-luxury voyages and expedition travel, is set to raise a
glass for "A Toast On Both Coasts" and celebrate the first time
that both of the line's two new ultra-luxury purpose-built
expedition ships, Seabourn Venture and Seabourn
Pursuit, will be in the continental U.S. on the same day on
Friday, September 29, 2023.
The brand-new ultra-luxury ship, Seabourn Pursuit, which
launched on August 12, made its
maiden arrival in the U.S. in Miami on the morning of September 29. Meanwhile, Seabourn Venture,
which launched in July 2022, is
arrived in the continental U.S. for the first time in Seattle that same morning.
"A Toast on Both Coasts" will commemorate Seabourn's two-vessel
milestone in a style all its own with celebratory events unfolding
on each ship at once. A triumphant moment will be a "virtual toast"
for team members on both ships, traveling Seabourn guests, travel
advisors, media, and invited dignitaries to clink glasses from the
far corners of the country.
"The same-day arrival of our two ultra-luxury, purpose-built
expedition ships in the U.S. is a very symbolic celebration of the
dream and vision we have coming to life. Our dream was to bring our
well-known Seabourn signature luxury to the world of exploration
and adventure, and we did it," said Natalya
Leahy, president of Seabourn. "Both ships now exemplify the
best of both worlds, taking our guests to the most remote
destinations in the world in the elegance and comfort of their
Seabourn home. 'A Toast on Both Coasts' is a testament to the hard
work of our teams and a toast to all of our extraordinary guests
who will fulfill their out of ordinary adventure dreams on board
our state-of-the-art expedition ships."
A New Season for Seabourn's Expedition Vessels in
Antarctica, South Pacific the
Kimberley and Beyond
Seabourn Pursuit will
depart Miami on September 30 for a 10-day voyage exploring
destinations throughout the Caribbean. On October
10, the ship will arrive in Barbados to begin its expedition journeys,
taking guests to remote corners of the globe. Seabourn
Pursuit will head south for expeditions exploring coastal
South America, the Amazon, and
Antarctica into late March 2024. Following its inaugural Antarctic
season, the ship will head across the islands of the South Pacific
and eventually to Australia, which
will be the start of the line's first exploration of the Kimberley
region in the Northern Territory and Western Australia between June and
August 2024. The iconic Kimberley,
with its red sandstone gorges, rivers, waterfalls, wildlife, and
Aboriginal life and history, is the ideal setting for a truly,
world-class expedition experience. In addition to the Kimberley,
Seabourn Pursuit will visit Papua New
Guinea, West Papua,
Indonesia, and sail across the
South Pacific between Chile and
Melanesia between March and October
2024.
Sister ship Seabourn Venture will head down the West
Coast of the Americas before reaching Antarctica, where it will explore the "White
Continent" between November 2023 and
February 2024. In late February 2024, Seabourn Venture will make
a once-in-a-lifetime crossing of the Atlantic encompassing the
Falkland Islands, South Georgia, Tristan
da Cunha, and Ascension Island. In March and April, the ship
will take two sailings up the West Coast of Africa and Europe to be in position for the 2024 Arctic
season.
Exploration, Adventure, and Luxurious Comfort
Both
Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit offer the same
luxurious small ship experience that travelers have come to expect
from Seabourn, enhanced by world-class equipment that allows the
line to offer its widest range of expedition activities led by an
expert 24-person expedition team of scientists, scholars,
naturalists, and more. Designed and built for remote, diverse
environments to PC6 Polar Class standards, the ship includes a
plethora of modern hardware and technology that extends the ship's
global deployment and capabilities. There is close to 30,000 square
feet of deck space and special touches at every turn, as well as
indoor and outdoor guest areas with nearly 270-degree views. In
addition, a 4K GSS Cineflex Camera is
mounted on the mast of the Constellation Lounge and capable of
broadcasting imagery from miles ahead on monitors located
throughout the ship and in guest suites.
The ships are also equipped with enhanced Wi-Fi connectivity
with SpaceX's Starlink, providing its expedition guests with faster
service, greater connectivity and more reliable Wi-Fi wherever
Starlink's services are available.
Seabourn Pursuit and Seabourn Venture, like the
rest of the ships in the Seabourn fleet, offer an abundance of
space and elegance, eight dining experiences serving gourmet
cuisine, and luxurious all-suite accommodations, including a pair
of two-level Wintergarden suites.
