Seabourn Expeditions: Beyond the Edge of the World

Undersea Exploration via Custom Submersibles

Each expedition ship carries two battery-powered U-Boat Worx Cruise Sub 7 submersibles designed exclusively for Seabourn. Accommodating just six guests alongside a licensed pilot, each passenger enjoys 360-degree views through clear acrylic spheres down to depths of 1,000 feet.

• In-Suite Heated Gear Drying Closets: Every suite on Venture and Pursuit features a dedicated heated gear closet for rapidly drying wet parkas, boots, and waterproof gear between landings.
• Swarovski Optik Binoculars & 24 Zodiacs: Custom Swarovski binoculars in every suite, and a fleet of 24 Zodiacs allowing all 264 guests to disembark at once with zero wait times.
• Deep-Sea Benthic Marine Life: Encounter bioluminescent organisms, underwater sea walls, ice formations, and marine species never before seen by travelers.
• 4K Underwater Video Systems: External robotic camera arms beam live high-definition footage directly to the ship's Discovery Center.
• Submersible Champagne Dives: Toast your underwater discovery with chilled champagne at 300 meters beneath the ocean surface.

Missy Tillman’s Polar Tip: “On Antarctica voyages aboard Venture or Pursuit, weather windows in the Gerlache Strait are precious. We pre-coordinate your custom Helly Hansen gear fitting and submersible priority registration so you are fully prepared from Day 1.”

Joe Merendino’s Expedition Suite Tip: “When booking Seabourn Pursuit or Venture, avoid suites far forward on Deck 5 due to anchor noise during early-morning expedition drops. I always place my clients on Deck 7 midship for silence and panoramic navigation vistas.”
