Seabourn has opened bookings for its upcoming 2029 World Cruise: Iconic Islands & Remote Horizons, a luxury cruise of 138 days to transport visitors across five continents, 31 countries and 58 ports of call via Seabourn Quest. The long voyage will embark on 7 January and disembark on 26 May 2029, sailing from Miami to Lisbon while covering 32,000+ nautical miles of destinations, featuring some of the most popular and remote islands of the world.

The 2029 World Cruise: Iconic Islands & Remote Horizons will take guests through an extensive global route covering:

• The Americas
• South Pacific
• New Zealand
• Australia
• Southeast Asia
• Indian Ocean
• Africa
• Europe

The itinerary combines famous destinations with remote locations that are rarely included in traditional cruise programmes.

Highlights include visits to:

• Bora Bora
• Easter Island
• Zanzibar
• Nuku Hiva
• Praslin
• Antsiranana
• Akaroa
• Burnie

These destinations provide travellers with opportunities to experience unique landscapes, indigenous cultures, marine environments and local traditions. Seabourn’s smaller ship size allows Seabourn Quest to access ports and destinations that may not be available to larger vessels, creating more intimate and authentic travel experiences.

Seabourn Quest Visits More Than 25 UNESCO World Heritage Sites

A major feature of the 2029 World Cruise is its focus on global heritage. The journey includes visits to more than 25 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, allowing guests to explore some of the planet’s most significant cultural and natural landmarks. Featured UNESCO locations include:

• Easter Island, Chile
• Fiordland National Park, New Zealand
• Stone Town of Zanzibar, Tanzania
• Sacred City of Kandy, Sri Lanka

These experiences provide travellers with opportunities to discover ancient traditions, historic settlements and extraordinary natural environments. The inclusion of UNESCO destinations reflects Seabourn’s focus on meaningful travel experiences where guests can connect with the history, culture and landscapes of each region.

Extended Stays Allow Deeper Exploration of Global Destinations

Unlike traditional cruises that often provide limited time in port, Seabourn’s world voyage includes extended stays designed to give travellers more time to experience each destination. The itinerary features 20 extended stays, including eight overnight calls. Overnight destinations include:

• Lima, Peru
• Easter Island, Chile
• Bora Bora, French Polynesia
• Bali, Indonesia
• Singapore
• Sydney, Australia
• Zanzibar, Tanzania
• Cape Town, South Africa

Additional extended visits include Cartagena, Auckland, Napier, Melbourne, Portland, Adelaide, Busselton, Fremantle, Colombo, Victoria, Walvis Bay and Las Palmas. Longer port stays allow guests to explore destinations at a slower pace, experience local culture more deeply and participate in activities that are not possible during short visits.

Exclusive Seabourn Experiences Create Unique Cultural Connections

Full World Cruise guests will have access to exclusive experiences created specifically for this global voyage. One highlight is a complimentary two-day, one-night Seabourn Journey in Bali, offering immersive cultural experiences beyond traditional sightseeing. The programme includes:

• Private cultural encounters
• Authentic culinary experiences
• Village visits
• Access to local traditions and artistic heritage

In Cape Town, guests will enjoy an exclusive evening event at the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA). The private after-hours experience will feature African cuisine, live entertainment and views of Table Mountain, creating a unique celebration of regional art, culture and hospitality. These experiences are designed to connect travellers with local communities while showcasing the identity of each destination.

Enrichment Programmes Bring Destinations to Life Onboard Seabourn Quest

The journey continues beyond shore excursions through a range of onboard enrichment programmes. Throughout the voyage, Seabourn Quest will offer:

• Destination-focused lectures
• Expert presentations through Seabourn Conversations
• Culinary events
• Cultural performances
• Region-inspired entertainment

These programmes allow guests to understand the destinations they visit through history, cuisine, traditions and expert insights. The ship will also feature upgrades following one of Seabourn’s most comprehensive dry dock programmes. Improvements include refreshed suites, enhanced public areas, updated dining spaces and spa upgrades designed to further elevate the onboard experience.

Seabourn’s 2029 World Cruise Reflects Future of Luxury Slow Travel

The introduction of the 2029 World Cruise: Iconic Islands & Remote Horizons of Seabourn shows the rising trend of the slow and immersive travel concept.

This 138-day voyage is much more than just a cruise schedule. This is a tour of the world bringing together different cultures, environments, and people and at the same time providing the level of luxury and personalized attention characteristic of Seabourn cruises. The 2029 World Cruise presents an outstanding chance for travelers to visit the best places in the world in one luxurious journey.
