Seabourn Antarctica Cruises Complete Guide to Ships, Itineraries & Wildlife
A Seabourn Antarctica cruise combines the adventure of an Antarctic expedition with the comfort and service of an ultra-luxury small ship.
Instead of experiencing Antarctica only from the deck of a large cruise ship, Seabourn's expedition voyages are designed around Zodiac exploration, shore landings, wildlife encounters, expert-led activities and close-up views of the Antarctic environment. Seabourn's dedicated expedition ships, Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit, are purpose-built for exploration and provide an intimate alternative to traditional large-ship cruising. For travelers considering Antarctica for the first time, the biggest question isn't simply where the ship goes. It's what the entire expedition experience will be like — from choosing the right itinerary and suite to preparing for Zodiac landings, changing weather and wildlife encounters. This guide covers what to know before booking a Seabourn Antarctica expedition, including ships, routes, wildlife, excursions, suites, packing, physical requirements and planning tips.
