Seabourn’s first ultra-luxury, purpose-built expedition ship, the Seabourn Venture offers the luxurious small ship experience that travelers have come to expect from Seabourn, while transporting guests to the most coveted, remote destinations in the world.
Our Take
The Venture is where the world’s most refined luxury meets the planet’s most rugged frontiers. We scouted this vessel specifically for its “indoor-outdoor” flow. It was built to handle the High Arctic and Antarctica with a level of grace that makes you forget you’re in sub-zero temperatures. From the custom-built furniture to the expansive glass throughout the ship, the focus is always on the horizon.
What Stood Out
- The sushi bar and lounge: Open nightly, this is a hip spot to order some sashimi and play some trivia under the notes of live music.
- The Constellation Lounge: Located on the highest deck, this is our favorite spot for a “Midnight Sun” scouting session. With 270-degree views and high-end telescopes, it is the best observation post in the Arctic.
Who It’s Perfect For
- The Modern Traditionalist: If you love the heritage and service of Seabourn’s ocean fleet but want to push into the Northwest Passage or the Weddell Sea.
- Photography Enthusiasts: The ship’s stability and numerous open-deck viewpoints make it a dream for long-lens wildlife work.
The Bottom Line
The Seabourn Venture remains the gold standard for travelers who want to explore the Arctic or Antarctica without ever feeling like they’ve left a 5-star resort. We love this ship.
