Seabourn History

Seabourn has been reinventing small-ship ultra-luxury cruising for over 35 years. In 1986, a small group of luxury hospitality and cruising executives embarked with a goal to provide the relaxed elegance previously available only to owners of the world’s most fabulous private yachts.

Our fleet’s first three ships: Seabourn Pride, entered service in 1988, Seabourn Spirit entered service in 1989, followed by Seabourn Legend in 1991. Over the next two decades, these three ships built an extraordinary legacy of personalized, intuitive service and guest-centric experiences. 

 

In 2009, Seabourn raised the bar with the debut of Seabourn Odyssey, hailed as “a game-changer for the ultra-luxury segment. Seabourn launched two identical sisters, Seabourn Sojourn in 2010 and Seabourn Quest in 2011. Although larger than the original Seabourn ships, these 3 ships carry just 458 guests and offer a wealth of amenities made possible by the highest ratio of space per guest in the cruise industry, including the largest spa on any luxury ship and generous private verandas on 90 percent of their suites. Our first 600-passenger ship, Seabourn Encore, was delivered in 2016 and a second 600-passenger ship, Seabourn Ovation, was delivered 2018. This new class of ocean vessels featured private verandas for every suite and expanded Seabourn’s complimentary fine dining offerings. 

Seabourn Expansion: Expedition Cruises

In 2022, Seabourn redefined expedition travel with the launch of our first ultra-luxury, purpose-built expedition ship Seabourn Venture, joined by her sister ship, Seabourn Pursuit in 2023.
