Seabourn has unveiled its first-ever expedition Grand Voyage in 2027—the 94-day “Pole to Pole: Grand Expedition” on the purpose-built Seabourn Venture. Departing August 17 and concluding November 19, 2027, the voyage will span over 20,500 nautical miles, charting a course from the High Arctic to Antarctica and offering a combination of remote landings, immersive expeditions, rare wildlife sightings and signature experiences. Reservations for the 2027 “Pole to Pole: Grand Expedition” voyage are open for sale to past guests and will be open for sale to the public on August 13, 2025.
The 94-day voyage begins with an overnight stay in Reykjavik, followed by a charter flight to Kangerlussuaq, where guests will embark the ship. Over the course of the sailing, Seabourn Venture will offer 60 days of expedition experiences and visits to destinations across 14 countries and territories, including five days in Antarctica, three in South Georgia and three in the Falkland Islands, as well as six days in the Northwest Passage and a new three-day experience to the remote and rarely visited Ellesmere Island in the Arctic Archipelago. Additional highlights include 33 sea days; and crossings of the equator, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. Between the poles, guests will also explore sun-drenched tropical islands and coastal regions across the Caribbean and South America. The sailing concludes in Ushuaia with a post-cruise charter flight to Buenos Aires.
Seabourn’s “Pole to Pole: Grand Expedition” voyage will offer a range of expedition experiences led by an expert 23-person expedition team of scientists, scholars, naturalists, and more. Seabourn Venture’s 30,000 square feet of open deck space provides an ideal vantage point for witnessing the Northern Lights, a breathtaking possibility on this voyage. This journey spans the ends of the Earth, offering access to some of the most remote and awe-inspiring destinations on the planet. Destination highlights include:
- High Arctic Exploration – Guests will venture deep into the remote reaches of Greenland and northern Canada. When ice conditions allow, they can step directly onto the frozen ocean, a rare opportunity to walk where few ever have.
- Northwest Passage Route – The ship will navigate much of the Northwest Passage, known for its fascinating history of exploration.
- South Georgia & the Falkland Islands – Guests will explore the smaller of the Falkland Islands that are a haven for wildlife, including black-browed albatross, four species of penguins, and more. In South Georgia, guests may witness a wildlife sanctuary filled with more than 450,000 pairs of king penguins.
For added flexibility, Seabourn will also offer a shorter 82-day “Grand Expedition” option from August 29–November 19, 2027. Guests sailing on the 94- or 82-day voyage will enjoy a range of benefits, including up to $10,000 shipboard credit per suite; upgraded stream Wi-Fi packages (two devices); unlimited laundry services; round-trip Business Class Air; one submarine dive in one of the ship’s two custom-built submarines; two kayak tours, one per hemisphere; and a commemorative, custom Polar Parka designed exclusively for the voyage.
Designed and built for remote, diverse environments to PC6 Polar Class standards, Seabourn Venture is equipped with Starlink-powered enhanced Wi-Fi and a 4K GSS Cineflex camera mounted on the mast of the Constellation Lounge, broadcasting imagery from miles away to monitors throughout the ship and in guest suites. The voyage will also offer “Image Masters,” an optional onboard photography workshop that provides in-the-field instruction on photo composition, camera technique, editing and retouching, all led by the ship’s accomplished photographer.
