Seabourn Celebrates Keel Laying For Its Initial Ultra-Luxury Purpose-Built Expedition Vessel

Seabourn celebrated the keel laying for the Seabourn Venture during a ceremony held this month at the T. Mariotti shipyard in San Giorgio di Nogaro, Italy. With Seabourn Venture scheduled to debut in June 2021, the ceremony marked a significant milestone in the construction of the line’s first ultra-luxury purpose-built expedition ship.

A second Seabourn expedition vessel, still to be named, is scheduled to launch in May 2022. Together, the ships will offer the epitome in expedition travel blended with ultra-luxury amenities and personalized service by leading travel experts and seasoned professionals with extensive experience in expedition, hospitality, and ultra-luxury cruising. Both vessels are being built for diverse environments to PC6 Polar Class standards and will include an array of modern hardware and technology that will extend their global deployment and capabilities, including two custom-built submarines onboard each vessel to provide passengers unforgettable views of the world beneath the ocean’s surface.

The ship will reflect an impeccable design of the public areas and all categories of the ship’s 132 luxurious oceanfront veranda suites, including the first-ever two story Grand Wintergarden Suite, as well as a bespoke furniture collection for both expedition vessels.
