Seabourn names second expedition ship
Luxury line Seabourn will name its second new purpose-built expedition ship Seabourn Pursuit.
Construction for Seabourn Pursuit began in 2020 during a ceremony in San Giorgo di Nogare, Italy, with the build process well underway.
The ship is scheduled for delivery in February 2023, with its sister ship, Seabourn Venture, slated for delivery in March 2022.
"The name Seabourn Pursuit is truly fitting for a ship envisioned and designed to take expedition travelers into those places where they can see vast landscapes, diverse wildlife and remote regions of the world," said Josh Leibowitz, president of Seabourn.
"Seabourn Pursuit will navigate the most unexplored parts of the world. We are defining an entirely new category of expedition travel with Seabourn Pursuit and its sister ship, Seabourn Venture."
After delivery, Seabourn Pursuit heads north with an inaugural ‘fire and Ice’ voyage scheduled for April 4, 2023, departing roundtrip from Reykjavik, Iceland.
The itinerary will wind its way along the coast of Greenland and Iceland, visiting waterfalls, hot springs and the lava fields of Dimmuborgir and Leirhnjukur.
The ship then continues onward by exploring the waters and landscapes of Greenland, Iceland and Norway throughout the spring and early summer, in some instances retracing the path of the Vikings to the frontier town of Tromsø.
In August 2023 is the ship’s Northwest Passage journey ventures to some of the most remote areas in the Northern Hemisphere from Kangerlussuaq, Greenland to Nome, Alaska.
Itineraries for the Seabourn Pursuit inaugural season are set to open for sale in mid-December 2021.
Both Seabourn Pursuit and sister ship Seabourn Venture are designed to PC6 Polar Class standards and include modern hardware and technology that will extend the ships’ global deployment and capabilities.
Each will carry two custom-built submarines, 24 Zodiacs, kayaks, and a 26-person expert expedition team.
