Seabourn, the epitome of ultra-luxury cruises, has recently announced an exciting lineup of 2026 itineraries, now available for booking. With over 200 destinations spread across nearly 40 countries, these voyages promise unforgettable journeys aboard the brand's exquisite ships. What makes this announcement even more remarkable is the inclusion of two unique opportunities to witness the 2026 solar eclipse at sea—an experience designed to captivate and awe guests with Seabourn’s signature touch of luxury.

A New Era of Voyages

Starting from March to December 2026, Seabourn's fleet—including Seabourn Ovation, Seabourn Encore, Seabourn Quest, and Seabourn Sojourn—will set sail on diverse itineraries ranging from seven to 21 days. These carefully crafted journeys cover various breathtaking regions, including the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Alaska, Japan, and Canada and New England. Seabourn’s focus on providing a balance between well-known destinations and lesser-explored ports promises a voyage filled with discovery, culture, and unparalleled luxury.

Seabourn 2026 Season

Mediterranean Magic: Seabourn Quest and Seabourn Sojourn

Exploring the Mediterranean

Seabourn Quest and Seabourn Sojourn will immerse travellers in the sunlit beauty of the Mediterranean, visiting 84 destinations across 15 countries. These voyages will not only highlight well-loved destinations like Barcelona, Civitavecchia (Rome), and Monte Carlo but will also venture into smaller ports that offer a more intimate look at the local culture. Highlights include overnight stops in St. Tropez, Taormina, and the enchanting La Joliette in Marseille.

A Solar Eclipse Experience Like No Other

One of the standout voyages aboard Seabourn Sojourn is the 10-Day Spanish Gems & Solar Eclipse journey departing from Barcelona on August 7, 2026. This cruise offers guests a front-row seat to witness the total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, from the serene waters of the Balearic Sea. This astronomical event promises to be a moment to remember, set against the backdrop of Spain’s most vibrant coastal destinations.

Northern Europe: British Isles, Iceland & Norway

Discovering the Northern Charms

Onboard Seabourn Ovation, guests will explore the natural beauty and cultural richness of Northern Europe. With over 70 destinations across 18 countries, these voyages feature a mix of historic castles, majestic fjords, and quaint coastal towns. One of the season's highlights is a 14-day voyage through Norway’s fjords, including the North Cape, where guests will experience the stunning Midnight Sun during the summer solstice.

Exclusive Eclipse Experience

Seabourn Ovation also offers a 14-Day West Ireland Gems & Solar Eclipse voyage, setting sail from Dover (London) to Reykjavik, Iceland. This journey will include a special Seabourn Conversations program with Jane A Green, a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, who will provide in-depth insights into the solar eclipse, making it an enlightening and awe-inspiring experience for all aboard.

Japan, Asia & Pacific Crossings: A First for Seabourn Encore

New Horizons in Asia

For the first time, Seabourn Encore will offer a series of voyages through Japan, taking guests on a journey through the country's seasonal beauty, including the famous cherry blossoms in spring and vibrant autumn foliage. These itineraries also include maiden calls to destinations like Sokcho in South Korea and Beppu and Toba in Japan, bringing a blend of natural beauty and cultural riches.

Pacific Passages and Beyond

In addition to Japan, Seabourn Encore will offer 18- and 21-day Pacific Passage voyages between Japan and Alaska, highlighting the pristine wilderness and serene landscapes of these regions. These extended voyages allow travellers to experience the tranquillity and grandeur of the North Pacific in true Seabourn style.

Alaska & British Columbia: An Adventure in the Great North

Pristine Wilderness and Wildlife

Seabourn Encore’s Alaska program will feature 27 unique departures, taking guests deep into the heart of Alaska and British Columbia. This itinerary showcases a variety of landscapes, from the Hubbard Glacier to the tranquil waters of Glacier Bay National Park. Guests will also have the opportunity to engage in Seabourn’s Ventures by Seabourn program, offering guided kayak and Zodiac tours led by expert naturalists.

An Intimate Small-Ship Experience

With its all-suite accommodations, Seabourn Encore ensures an intimate and personalised experience that includes verandas in every suite, exclusive dining options like Sushi and Solis, and access to The Retreat, a private sanctuary on deck. The emphasis on luxury and small-ship charm makes these Alaskan journeys truly unforgettable.
