Image generated with Ai

Seabourn Quest will whisk travellers through jungle environs, village life and unique communities during its 30-day luxury cruise which departs Miami in 2028.

New Amazon Explorer: Rivers and Rainforests allows cruise goers, a chance that occurs all too seldom, to visit and discover the natural wonders and local life which inhabit the expanse of one of the most notable rivers in the world. The new cruise runs between 18 November and 18 December 2028 with stops to several islands in the Caribbean, a cruise of Amazon River waters, and an overnight shore excursion in Manaus, Brazil.

The 30-day itinerary will present a tour of 15 points of interest spanning seven nations and promising experiences centering on the richness of biodiversity, the richness of local heritage, and that of isolated and untamed, river-bound conditions. Furthermore, the Amazon explorer segment will contribute to the Seabourn 40th anniversary celebration that is planned for 2028.

Luxury Amazon Cruise Will Connect Travellers With Rainforest Landscapes

The Seabourn Quest Amazon cruise 2028 will begin in Miami, United States, before travelling through Caribbean destinations and continuing towards the Amazon River. The route has been designed for travellers seeking slower-paced exploration and cultural experiences beyond traditional cruise ports.

The Amazon region remains one of the planet’s most significant natural areas. The rainforest stretches across several South American countries and supports thousands of plant and animal species, while the Amazon River remains a vital transportation route for many communities.

During the voyage, guests will experience scenic river cruising through rainforest landscapes while observing the relationship between local communities and the surrounding environment.

Key destinations included in the itinerary are:

• Manaus, Brazil: An overnight stay will allow travellers additional time to explore the city’s historic architecture, markets, waterfront areas and cultural attractions.
• Santarém, Brazil: Visitors will see the meeting point of the Amazon and Tapajós rivers, where different coloured waters create a distinctive natural sight.
• Boca da Valeria, Brazil: The small riverside community will provide insight into everyday life along the Amazon.
• Parintins, Brazil: Travellers will experience one of the region’s important cultural destinations.
• Devil’s Island, French Guiana: The remote island destination will introduce visitors to its historic background.
• Gustavia, Saint Barthelemy: The Caribbean stop will combine French and Swedish influences with harbour views, boutiques and restaurants.

Manaus Overnight Stay Adds More Time for Amazon Cultural Experiences

A long stay in Manaus will be one of the best features of the cruise. The city is one of Brazil’s gateways to the rainforest. It’s located way inside it.

By staying overnight we gain flexibility compared to the usual few hours available at cruise ports. We’ll have more time for discovering the taste of the country, monuments of culture and buildings of history or markets of tradition. The capital of Amazonia, the city will also help us discovering the link between human settlement and one of the most significant rainforests of the world.

Seabourn Quest Offers Boutique Cruise Experience for Amazon Exploration

The Amazon journey will take place aboard Seabourn Quest, a smaller luxury ship designed to provide a more personalised travel experience. The vessel will feature ocean-view suites, many with private verandas, along with premium dining and enrichment programmes.

The ship’s smaller size will allow access to destinations that may not be available to larger cruise vessels. This creates opportunities for travellers to explore less-visited ports and river communities.

Following planned updates, Seabourn Quest will offer refreshed suites, public areas, dining spaces and wellness facilities. The improvements will support the company’s focus on luxury cruising with personalised service.
