Seabourn: 7 entries in our inventory, 5 ships in service, 398 departures

Two of the seven entries no longer sail for this line, and the second departure is very recent. Seabourn Odyssey was sold to Mitsui O.S.K. Lines in March 2023. Seabourn Sojourn was sold to the same operator in March 2025 and sailed under Seabourn colours until May 2026 — three months ago. Both carry no departure on our calendar, which is exactly what you would expect. Five ships remain in service: Quest, Encore, Ovation, Venture and Pursuit.

What we carry, measured — and one figure that needs explaining

Seven entries, 398 distinct departures across 343 dates and 782 routes, from 12 July 2026 to 21 April 2029. Seabourn Ovation alone carries 403 itinerary records, more than the fleet's total number of departures. That is not a misreading: a record is not a departure. Our database holds 1,121 records for this fleet and only 398 distinct departures — the widest gap in our whole catalogue. What we publish is departures.

Two expedition ships, built for it

Seabourn Venture was delivered on 29 June 2022 and Seabourn Pursuit entered service in August 2023. These are not cruise ships strengthened after the fact: the hull, the inflatables and hours set by the weather are part of the product. An expedition departure does not compare with a week in the Mediterranean, even under the same brand.

The house

Founded in 1986 by Norwegian investor Atle Brynestad and Warren S. Titus, first under the name Signet Cruise Lines. Based in Seattle, owned by Carnival Corporation.

What "small ship" costs and returns

A few hundred people. That opens ports large ships cannot approach, and closes the door on the choice of restaurants, the main-stage shows and the children's activities. It is a trade, not a superiority, and it is better to know which side you are on before booking. We will not say what the fare covers: ask your advisor for the written list of the exact departure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Seven entries in our inventory — 7 exactly — and 398 distinct departures across 343 dates and 782 routes, from 12 July 2026 to 21 April 2029.
No, two are not. Seabourn Odyssey was sold to Mitsui O.S.K. Lines in March 2023 and Seabourn Sojourn in March 2025; Sojourn sailed under Seabourn colours until May 2026. Both carry no departure on our calendar, which is as it should be. Five ships remain in service: Quest, Encore, Ovation, Venture and Pursuit.
Yes, two, and they were built for it. Seabourn Venture was delivered on 29 June 2022 and Seabourn Pursuit entered service in August 2023. These are not strengthened cruise ships: the hull, the inflatables and hours set by the weather are part of the product.
It was founded in 1986 by Norwegian investor Atle Brynestad and Warren S. Titus, first under the name Signet Cruise Lines. It is based in Seattle and belongs to Carnival Corporation.
Seabourn Ovation, with 403 records — a figure that needs explaining, because it exceeds the fleet's total number of departures. See the next question.
Because a record is not a departure. Our database holds 1,121 itinerary records for this fleet and only 398 distinct departures — the widest gap in our whole catalogue. The same departure appears several times, cut differently. We publish departures, not records.
Yes, a few hundred people. That opens ports large ships cannot approach and closes the door on the choice of restaurants, the shows and the children's activities. It is a trade, and it is better to know which side you are on before booking.
We will not say it in the line's place. What the fare covers changes here from one departure, market and cabin grade to the next, and we have not measured it departure by departure. Ask your advisor for the written list of the exact departure before booking, not after.
One ship on one date. If the same ship leaves on the same day, that is one departure, not two. Our database holds more records than departures, and what we publish is the number of departures.
No. Everything given here — number of hulls, number of departures, dates, routes — comes from OUR inventory, measured on 31 August. A zero with us is not a zero with them.
Often, yes. Your advisor can look beyond what appears here. The online catalogue is a way in, not the limit of what exists.
It depends on the departure and the market, not on the line. If French matters to you, say so before booking: it is checked departure by departure.
Because a duplicate or a misspelled permalink sends you to the wrong ship, and a client who notices after paying a deposit is right to hold it against us. We would rather say it here. What is flagged also goes on our correction list.
On fleets this small, yes: few cabins, and the best go early. Booking far ahead fixes a choice but commits money in advance. Talk cancellation terms through with your advisor before you decide.
Your agency, and it alone. Voyages AquaTerra operates under a licence from Quebec's Office de la protection du consommateur, your payments pass through a trust account, and the compensation fund for travel agency clients covers your departure. That holds whichever line you choose.
