Published on January 8, 2026

The Seabourn Sojourn has left Long Beach, California, and has begun the first leg of the 129-day world cruise. This voyage sails to 63 ports across 14 different countries. This cruise will be an immersive experience with the opportunity to explore the richest of the world’s cultures and the most beautiful of the world’s landscapes, and will visit the most notable cities. Aside from the luxury of the cruise experience, the most rewarding aspect of the trip will be the opportunity to connect with the countries and the people that comprise the various cultures.

An event to Remember: an Evening Before Departure, Inspired by Hollywood

The cruise line Seabourn organized an event for the exclusive use of the guests, before the departure of the cruise, at the Managed Spago Beverly Hills, the most famous restaurant of chef Wolfgang Puck, located in the heart of Beverly Hills. His Excellency, President of Seabourn, Mark Tamis, and his distinguished guests, leaders from the cruise line, experienced the first taste of the cruise from the world-class cruise line. The event was designed to be a prelude and a curtain raiser to the cruise experience, an experience that combines an epicurean delight and world-class cruising with an immersive experience of the various cultures from the countries to be visited. The event combined a culinary masterpiece of the nicest world-class dishes, with the music of movies from the world, composed by the best conductors of Hollywood.

Next came a custom-made orchestral experience, especially for Seabourn guests. The first orchestral performance, hosted at the Newman Scoring Stage on the Fox Studios Lot, was produced by the accomplished Gregg Field, an 8 time Grammy and Emmy winner. The performance, tribute to the iconic film scores, featured music from the legendary John Williams, Henry Mancini, Hans Zimmer, James Horner, and many more. The performance was conducted by Chris Walden, a famous composer and music director with several prestigious awards, including an Academy Award and the Kennedy Center Honors.

The World Cruise: An Experience Beyond Travel

For Seabourn, the upcoming 2026 World Cruise is a landmark occasion that celebrates the heritage of the brand, delivering an experience that is luxury at its finest and is transformative. World Cruise for Tamis is a collection of everything the guests of Seabourn cherish – more time on the world, access to numerous and varied destinations, and a sense of luxury that is unmatched. But more than just a travel experience, the journey is designed for guests to develop a relationship with the world, its myriad cultures, the people they meet enroute, and other travelers with whom they will make a connection.
