Seabourn Opens Bookings for Landmark 138-Day Global Journey
Ultra-luxury ocean line Seabourn has officially opened bookings for its grand voyage, the Seabourn World Cruise 2029, titled “Iconic Islands & Remote Horizons”. Charting a multi-continent course aboard the intimate Seabourn Quest, the 138-day itinerary spans over 32,000 nautical miles, visiting 58 international destinations across 31 countries and territories.
Departing from PortMiami on January 7, 2029, and concluding in Lisbon on May 26, 2029, the global voyage connects iconic world capitals with hidden yacht harbors. Designed around extended port stays and boutique harbor access, the vessel will navigate through the Americas, the South Pacific, New Zealand, Australia, Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean, Africa, and Europe.
Route Destinations and UNESCO World Heritage Sites
The itinerary integrates major international urban centers with remote, lesser-traveled island destinations. Because Seabourn Quest features a small-ship design, the vessel can access secluded harbors that are inaccessible to larger commercial cruise liners.
The voyage includes visits to more than 25 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, providing travelers with direct access to globally recognized cultural, ecological, and historical landmarks:
Easter Island (Chile): Rapa Nui National Park and its monumental moai statues.
Fiordland National Park (New Zealand): Dramatic glacial fjords and protected coastal wilderness.
Stone Town of Zanzibar (Tanzania): Historic Swahili coastal trading architecture.
Sacred City of Kandy (Sri Lanka): Revered Buddhist heritage site accessed via Colombo.
In addition to major ports, the route highlights remote destinations including Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas Islands, Praslin in the Seychelles, Antsiranana in Madagascar, Akaroa in New Zealand, and Burnie in Tasmania.
Extended Port Stays and Exclusive Shoreside Events
To prioritize immersive destination discovery over rapid transit, the itinerary includes 20 extended port stays, featured alongside eight overnight calls in key international destinations:
Overnight Call Locations: Lima (Callao), Easter Island, Bora Bora, Bali, Singapore, Sydney, Stone Town of Zanzibar, and Cape Town.
Extended Stay Destinations: Cartagena, Auckland, Napier, Melbourne, Portland, Adelaide, Busselton, Fremantle, Colombo, Victoria (Seychelles), Walvis Bay, and Las Palmas.
Full World Cruise passengers will receive complimentary access to exclusive mid-voyage events. In Indonesia, guests will participate in an included two-day, one-night mid-voyage Seabourn Journey in Bali, featuring private cultural workshops, regional culinary experiences, and village visits.
In South Africa, full-voyage travelers will attend an exclusive private evening at the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa in Cape Town. The event features after-hours museum access, live regional performances, authentic African gastronomy, and views of Table Mountain.
Shipboard Refurbishments and Traveler Benefits
Seabourn Quest embarks on the 2029 global sailing following a comprehensive dry-dock transformation. The interior overhaul includes updated suite accommodations, refreshed public lounges, modernized wellness and spa facilities, and enhanced specialty dining venues.
