I just sailed on 1 of the world's most luxurious expedition cruise ships. Here's a 1st look

Editor's Note

Seabourn Cruises' new Seabourn Venture, the line's first expedition vessel, is absolutely one of the most aesthetically pleasing and luxurious to enter the expedition sector. Carrying up to 264 passengers, the ship features a small atrium with a crystal sculpture and gorgeous skylight; comfy lounges reminiscent of upscale lodges, complete with faux fireplaces; two submarines that take passengers on for-fee underwater excursions; and elegantly appointed accommodations, all of which are suites with their own bathtubs and clothes dryers (perfect for use in the Arctic and Antarctic).

Although it's beautiful, the ship doesn't feel like a private yacht or, conversely, a rugged ice-breaking vessel, but a smaller, more adventurous version of a typical Seabourn Cruises ship. That similarity will work well for the line because many of my fellow cruisers on a 14-night voyage around Greenland and Arctic Canada were Seabourn stalwarts — loyalists who sail with the brand over and over and enjoy the sense of familiarity it provides across its vessels.

Like the line's other ships, Seabourn Venture houses Seabourn Square, a social hub with snacks, coffee and a guest services desk; The Restaurant, which serves as the main dining room for breakfast, lunch and dinner; and The Colonnade, a buffet and table-service venue that converts to table-service-only Earth & Ocean for dinner, offering bistro-style cuisine that rotates throughout each voyage.

Although the vessel excels in the way of aesthetics and food, there were some minor service niggles in the dining room (long waits between courses, incorrect items delivered) that I'm sure will be worked out soon. The biggest pain point, however, is that onboard activities are limited; in regions where the itinerary can change at a moment's notice due to weather or sea conditions, there should be more contingency plans in place.

Here, I'll further break down what makes the ship truly feel like a luxury experience and what Seabourn is still learning about expedition cruising.

What I loved

Elegant design.

"Oh, it's green!" I caught myself saying as my Zodiac (inflatable boat) pulled away from the ship on the second day of the voyage. When we embarked via Zodiac the day prior, the vessel was backlit by the sun, and I could have sworn it was dark blue. Instead, Seabourn Venture's hull is done up in an earthy, dark forest green, fitting for hardware that focuses heavily on itineraries to remote places replete with nature.

But don't let the intriguing color choice fool you; underneath the glitz is a specially strengthened hull that can cut straight through first-year ice, allowing the ship to travel close to the top of the world.

The onboard vibe is also one of earth tones, with greens, grays, browns, tans and taupes taking center stage. Lounges are outfitted with plush couches and chairs, faux fireplaces and decor — like diving mask artwork, sculptures designed to look like coral and odes to explorers like Roald Amundsen — that evokes both nature and adventure.

Cabins are especially swanky, with bright bathrooms, all of which feature bathtubs (although not all passengers liked them and said they'd rather have a larger shower instead). Walk-in closets provide ample storage, even for long sailings, and every room comes with a small drying closet that's a welcome touch after rainy days and wet landings (when you put on waterproof boots provided by the ship and step off the Zodiac into the water when you reach the shore). It's small in-room touches like Swarovski binoculars and a pillow menu that further embellish the ship's already thoughtful design.

Luxurious touches

From over-the-top extras like submarine rides and unlimited complimentary caviar and Champagne to smaller indulgences like bubble baths (fake rose petals and all, thanks to my room stewards who surprised me), it's the added elements that make Seabourn Venture stand out.

Caviar in the surf is one of Seabourn's signature events during each cruise. When the climate permits, members of the crew stand in the water, usually in a beachy port, to serve passengers caviar and Champagne. On cold-weather itineraries, the event is presented on the pool deck, with small tables set up to accommodate the soiree. If that's not enough, passengers can call room service to order caviar and Champagne to their rooms any time of day, absolutely free.

Additionally, all cabins are provided with Molton Brown toiletries (five types of shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and lotion at the most basic level) and small touches like nightly treats (chocolates, cookies, nuts and other snacks). My room stewards were also kind enough to deliver a paper copy of The Herald, the ship's daily schedule, to my cabin each day. (Seabourn now leans heavily on its mobile app to advertise what's happening around the ship.)

Excellent food

Although there were some minor service issues, the ship's dining experiences were consistently stellar across the board.

The food was generally excellent, but my favorite place to eat for dinner was Earth & Ocean, a sit-down restaurant that takes up residence in The Colonnade buffet each night, presenting waiter-served cuisine that changes daily.

The venue offers a variety of food that's thoughtfully prepared and delicious to boot. For me, the two best were the "Earth & Ocean" and Indian-themed nights. The former served out-of-this-world bacon breadsticks; burrata with heirloom tomatoes, basil and toasted ciabatta bread; buttered chicken curry; curried crisp naan; and royale bouillabaisse including lobster, sole, and scallops. The latter's menu consisted of mouthwatering dishes like naan with raita, mango chutney and chili butter; chicken and vegetable samosas; shrimp curry; chicken tikka masala; and curried vegetables with saffron pilaf rice.

Also worth a shout-out is the gelato served for dessert in all venues. However, you'll find the largest selection, made fresh daily, at Seabourn Square. It's free, and you can snag flavors like cookies and cream, pistachio and hazelnut coffee in cups or cones.

Friendly, well-traveled passengers

Seabourn passengers are a largely well-traveled group. During my sailing, I was surrounded by doctors, lawyers, government workers, finance experts and others whose life experiences made for some of the most intelligent conversations I've ever had on a cruise. (It also meant that onboard trivia sessions were a close race every single time, often with ties for first place.)

I was a bit worried that, given the voyage's high price point — cabins started at $36,000 for two people — I might feel out of place among the other passengers. Apart from a slight age gap that caused several of my fellow cruisers to mistake me for a crew member, I found there to be no shortage of friendly conversation and invitations to grab drinks or play cards.

Because the ship is small and the sailing lasted two weeks, I ran into the same people again and again and had more time to get to know them — a welcome occurrence because I was traveling by myself.

What needs work

Contingency plans.

As the expedition staff on Seabourn Venture says, sailings to places like the Arctic require "flexibility, flexibility, flexibility." Passengers were forced to be flexible after poor conditions forced the staff to cancel most of the voyage's scheduled submarine dives and kayaking excursions, both of which cost extra. Other planned excursions, such as hikes and helicopter sightseeing, were also scrapped.

On the back half of the itinerary, the original schedule included two port days, two sea days, another port day and two more sea days. All three port days were aborted due to weather, leaving the 14-day itinerary with seven consecutive days at sea to finish out the voyage.

What shocked me more than the changes and cancellations was the fact that the expedition and entertainment teams didn't seem to have a plan B. There were no backup ports to visit, and only very late in the sailing did I start to hear of alternative onboard programming — lectures, bridge and submarine visits, wildlife viewing opportunities — being offered to help pass the time that we would otherwise have spent taking Zodiac rides.

Although unpredictable weather isn't anyone's fault, I wonder if, perhaps, the ship visited the region too late in the season, an observation made by several of my fellow cruisers and some members of the expedition team. Changes can happen on any cruise, but they're flat-out expected on expedition cruises — something with which I think Seabourn might struggle to get across to its most loyal passengers ahead of time, given that they're accustomed to ocean cruises with more static plans.

I'm sure the decisions were made with everyone's safety in mind, and that's a good thing. But, as a side note, I do wonder if the way Seabourn has chosen to house its expedition ships' Zodiacs is a hindrance, particularly when the weather isn't perfect. Instead of including a marina on the vessel — which many other expedition ships do — the line opted to store its Zodiacs on the top deck. Cranes are needed to lower them down several decks into the water, which is a much more cumbersome process than simply dropping them into the water from a marina on a lower deck, and it's possible rough waves make the process even more difficult.

Announcements

One of my biggest goals for this sailing was to finally see the northern lights. Unfortunately, I wasn't successful, but one of my fellow passengers was. He strolled into the ship's Bow Lounge one night while I was up late working and went out onto the observation area to look for them. He mentioned they had been out in full force for several hours in the wee hours of the morning earlier that day, but no announcement ever came from the bridge.

Similarly, although there were some brief stops made for whale, polar bear and musk ox viewings, I was told by a few passengers that they spotted whales on several other occasions. There were no announcements made for those, either. When I asked some of the expedition staff why, the answers included "it wasn't worth it" and "it was too late at night/early in the morning."

One of the hallmark aspects of these types of sailings is the ability for expedition ships to stop what they're doing and divert from the planned itinerary to chase wildlife when appropriate. It didn't seem there was enough of that on this trip (and it wasn't for lack of opportunities).

Formal nights

Seabourn continues to hold strong with the tradition of formal nights, meaning that, in addition to Gore-Tex clothing, hiking boots and base layers, passengers will also have to pack formal-night clothing into their luggage. Frankly, on an expedition cruise, the concept is ridiculous.

As you can see in the above photo from a cruise on a different sailing, I normally love to dress up for formal nights on ships — even the ones that have relaxed their policies in recent years. However, there's nothing I'd rather do less after a day of cold-weather activities than don heels and taffeta and fuss over my hair and makeup.

In that vein, I heard several complaints from fellow travelers about the fact that there's no true casual dining option on the ship at night. I was frustrated by it, too. If you don't want to dress up or sit down for a two-hour meal, the only choice is room service. Not even the buffet venue is casual for dinner. (There is a small sushi menu available in The Club, one of the ship's lounges, but it doesn't feel quite right to be underdressed there, either.)

The crew isn't super strict about the dress code, so I got away with black jeans and a nice top with a blazer, plus flats, on most nights. On others, though, I just couldn't be bothered and ordered club sandwiches or pasta to my cabin. (The dining team also allows passengers to order from the main dining room menu for delivery.)

Bottom line

Seabourn is still getting its feet wet with regard to the world of expedition cruising, and I'm betting there will be some changes as a result of the lessons it has learned from this inaugural season.

Ultimately, Seabourn Venture is a terrific first iteration for the line's expedition debut. Seabourn does luxury well. The ambiance, food, service and little touches are all as they should be, but some work is needed to bring the product in line with what luxury expedition ships from other lines are providing in terms of the expedition experience.

An all-inclusive cruise with the feel of a privately chartered yacht? If that sounds like a dream, it’s close – and with Seabourn ultra-luxury cruises and expeditions, that dream can be a reality. Seabourn's luxurious voyages are elevated ocean and expedition experiences with refined touches and top-notch amenities you won’t find on many ships. With up to 300 suites, Seabourn’s sailings are intimate and carefully curated, with attentive service dedicated to ensuring guests enjoy a yacht-like cruise experience. 

Every spacious suite aboard Seabourn’s fleet of seven well-appointed ships is oceanfront. During your stay, you can enjoy complimentary fine wine and premium spirits and dining at a number of world-class restaurants. The moment you step on board, you’ll be greeted with chilled welcome Champagne and your personal Suite Host welcoming you with a warm smile – just a few of many touches that speak to Seabourn’s attention to detail and personalized service for their valued guests. 

And, when you book a Seabourn voyage through American Express Travel®, Platinum Card® Members can get additional benefits on eligible cruise bookings of five nights or longer with the Cruise Privileges Program .* Receive $300 onboard credit per suite to use toward spa experiences, premium dining, and excursions. Plus, enjoy Suite Dreams turn-down service once per cruise, and one bottle of premium wine delivered to your suite once per cruise. In addition, you can earn 2X Membership Rewards® points on eligible bookings, which you can put toward your next adventure using Pay with Points.*

Seabourn’s ocean and expedition adventures span all seven continents, with stops in 450 ports that comprise both prime destinations and lesser known, tucked away gems that many larger ships can’t access. From Antarctica to Japan, every itinerary is designed to awe. You’ll embark on excursions curated to your passions – choose from a collection of explorations that include cultural, culinary, wellness, and adventurous activities. 

Inspired to sail in style with Seabourn? We’ve highlighted just three exciting itineraries to get you started.

Alaska Fjords and Canadian Inside Passage

Best for: Whale watching, breathtaking scenery, wildlife encounters

Departing from Juneau, your first stop on your seven-day voyage aboard Seabourn Odyssey is the Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness , a 653,179-acre Alaskan nature preserve marked by dramatic scenery that includes glaciers, forests, and two stunning fjords. Designated as a wilderness area in 1980, the preserve is rife with wildlife. You’re likely to spot both brown and black bears, wolves, deer, mountain goats, and seals. 

As you sail to your next destination, keep your eyes out for even more wildlife – you’ll journey through the Stephens Passage, a 105-mile channel between craggy peaks that is known for its whale- and sea lion-watching. While you cruise to your next destination, you can take full advantage of the many onboard amenities, from the top-notch fitness center to the observation bar, which offers seascape views. Take a dip in the top deck pool or partake in some at-sea enrichment at the Discover Center, which hosts natural history and cultural programming.

A notable stop is Rudyerd Bay, carved out by glaciers within the Misty Fjords National Monument . Card Members booking with the Cruise Privileges Program can use their $300 onboard credit toward a Ventures by Seabourn. Their Kayak Misty Fjords venture is an opportunity to take in the towering granite cliffs, dark forests, and lush vegetation that blankets the coastline as you cruise through the pristine waters. Wildlife is abundant here too, with bald eagles, porpoises, humpback whales, and orcas among the many animals that call the fjords home. 

Your journey concludes in Vancouver, after passing through channels and bays known for their abundant wildlife and a stop at Cormorant Island. Visit U'mista Cultural Centre, Canada's longest-running First Nations museum, or explore Cormorant by kayak as you glide past seals and shorebirds.

Celtic Sea and Portugal’s Silver Coast

Best for: Architecture, cultural immersion, art

Embark on a 14-day European adventure that departs from Dover, England and takes you through ports in France, Spain, Ireland, and more.

Cruise aboard Seabourn Ovation through the emerald waters of the Celtic Sea, whose salt is known for its healing properties, rivaling Himalayan sea salt. Dock in the picturesque French fishing town of Saint-Jean-de-Luz , where you can tour a centuries-old church, stroll the coastal path of Sentier du Littoral , and dine at one of the many charming waterfront restaurants in the promenade. 

A stop in the Irish port of Bantry Bay offers the opportunity to tour the green countryside of West Cork by car, stopping in some of the small, lively towns for a pint. Or visit the Bantry House and Garden , a sprawling estate dating back to around 1710 where you can stroll through lush gardens and experience a formal tea service. 

Tour the vineyards in the coastal French village of Le Verdon-sur-Mer, where you can sample the Bordeaux wines the region is known for. When you dock in the northern Spanish city of Bilbao , admire contemporary art at the famed Guggenheim Museum – and indulge in an authentic meal of local tapas. 

Your voyage ends in Lisbon, where more cultural and culinary delights await. 

Turkey’s Turquoise Coast and Greek Isles

Best for: Pristine beaches, ancient ruins, crystal clear waters

The Turquoise Coast – also known as the Turkish Riviera – is marked by spectacular beaches and crystal clear, cerulean waters. Your seven-day voyage aboard Seabourn Encore begins in Athens , where you’ll set sail for the island of Cyprus . You’ll dock in Limassol , where you can explore archaeological sites dating back to 7,000 B.C. and indulge in fine Mediterranean wines – the seaside city is a wine-making hub and is home to numerous pastoral vineyards. 

The Turkish coastal city of Antalya notably combines temperate weather and beaches with a backdrop of snow-capped mountains. Wander through ancient Roman ruins; explore a 13th-century Seljuk mosque; pick up keepsakes by local artisans in the bustling bazaars; and grab a bite to eat at one of the quaint cafes that line the winding streets of the Old Quarter. 

You’ll also stop at the Greek islands of  Crete and Milos , both of which have plenty of appeal and comparatively fewer crowds than Mykonos. Milos was formed by volcanic eruptions and is known today for its beaches and vibrant fishing villages. 

The Mediterranean voyage concludes back in Athens, where you can tour even more ancient wonders like the Acropolis and the Parthenon, as well as the Athens National Garden.

These three itineraries are just a taste of the many offerings in Seabourn’s diverse portfolio—and there’s more to come. In spring 2025, Seabourn will debut The Collection , a series of even more finely curated sailings that feature access to exclusive shoreside events and experiences. Add some spice to your excursion with Andalusian Nights: Spotlight On Seville , a 10-day voyage between Barcelona and Lisbon that stops in Seville for an evening of fine dining and flamenco at Villa Luisa, an estate dating back to the 1920s with beautifully manicured gardens. Oenophiles might opt for Vineyard Vistas: An Evening In Bordeaux , an eight-day sail between Lisbon and Dublin with a stop in Bordeaux for an exclusive wine dinner at the opulent Château Smith Haut Lafitte. From sought-after seats at tennis matches to private dinners at vineyard chateaus, every itinerary in The Collection is set to provide a truly singular experience at sea and onshore.

The Hotel Collection bookings may be made by eligible U.S. Consumer Basic and Additional Platinum Card Members and Companion Platinum Card Members on the Platinum Card Account.

Statement credits are typically received within a few days, however it may take 90 days after an eligible prepaid hotel booking is charged to the Card Account. American Express relies on the merchant’s processing of transactions to determine the transaction date. The transaction date may differ from the date you made the purchase if, for example, there is a delay in the merchant submitting the transaction to us or if the merchant uses another date as the transaction date. This means that in some cases your purchase may not earn the statement credit benefit for the benefit period in which you made the purchase. For example, if an eligible purchase is made on December 31st but the merchant processes the transaction such that it is identified to us as occurring on January 1st, then the statement credit available in the next calendar year will be applied. Statement credits may not be received or may be reversed if the booking is cancelled or modified. If the Card Account is cancelled or past due, it may not qualify to receive a statement credit. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as eligible, you will not receive the statement credits. For example, your transaction will not be eligible if it is a booking: (i) made with a property not included in the Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection programs, (ii) not made through American Express Travel, or (iii) not made with an eligible Card. Participating properties and their availability are subject to change. If American Express, in its sole discretion, determines that you have engaged in or intend to engage in any manner of abuse, misuse, or gaming in connection with this benefit, American Express will not have an obligation to provide and may reverse any statement credits provided to you. If a charge for an eligible purchase is included in a Pay Over Time balance on your Card Account, the statement credit associated with that charge may not be applied to that Pay Over Time balance. Instead, the statement credit may be applied to your Pay In Full balance. Please refer to  AmericanExpress.com/FHR  and  AmericanExpress.com/HC  for more information about Fine Hotels + Resorts and The Hotel Collection, respectively.  

5X Membership Rewards ®  Points Platinum Card:  Basic Card Members will get 1 Membership Rewards ®  point for each dollar charged for eligible purchases on their Platinum Card ®  or an Additional Card on their Account and 4 additional points (for a total of 5 points) for each dollar charged for eligible travel purchases on any Card on the Account (“Additional Points”), minus cancellations and credits.

If booking is cancelled, the extra points will be deducted from the Membership Rewards account. Extra points will be credited to the Membership Rewards account approximately 6-10 weeks after eligible purchases appear on the billing statement. Additional point bonuses you may receive with your Card on other purchase categories from American Express may not be combined with this benefit (e.g., 1.5X and 2X bonuses for Business Platinum Card Members, etc.). Purchases eligible for multiple additional point bonuses will only receive the highest eligible bonus. The benefits associated with the Additional Card(s) you choose may be different than the benefits associated with your basic Card. To learn about the benefits associated with Additional Card(s) you choose, please call the number on the back of your Card.
