Seabourn is once again raising the bar for ultra-luxury ocean travel with the announcement of its 2027 World Cruise: Australia & South Pacific Panorama. Embarking roundtrip from Miami on 5 January 2027 aboard the sophisticated Seabourn Quest, this awe-inspiring voyage spans 145 days, covers nearly 34,000 nautical miles, and visits 67 destinations across 19 countries. Designed to indulge guests in luxury while unlocking the most extraordinary corners of the world, this world cruise is an invitation to explore the planet with purpose, elegance, and unforgettable depth.
A Journey Through the World's Most Storied Waters
This voyage by Seabourn is more than a collection of destinations—it's a carefully curated expedition across hemispheres. From the ancient civilisations of Peru to the rugged beauty of New Zealand and the paradisiacal islands of the South Pacific, Seabourn's 2027 World Cruise encapsulates what it means to travel well.
Exceptional Geographic Breadth
Sailing roundtrip from Miami, guests will experience a complete circle of cultural and natural discovery. Among the voyage's most exciting features are two maiden calls—Wallaroo in South Australia and Whangārei in New Zealand. Wallaroo delights with its rich maritime heritage and seaside charm, while Whangārei offers cultural insights and natural beauty in equal measure, including the majestic Whangārei Falls and the unique Hundertwasser Art Centre.
In addition to these maiden stops, five overnight port calls in key cities like Lima (Callao), Sydney, Darwin, Hobart, and Papeete allow guests to dive deeper into the cultural heartbeat of each destination. Seabourn’s renowned shore experiences offer tailored moments of connection, whether it’s exploring the galleries of Lima’s Barranco district or discovering Australia’s ancient Dreamtime stories in Darwin.
Scenic Passages and Immersive Landings
The scenic cruising elements of the itinerary are breathtaking in their own right. The voyage includes a double transit of the Panama Canal—an engineering marvel that continues to awe travellers more than a century after its opening. Additionally, the ship will pass through the Kimberley Coast, one of Australia's most rugged and majestic coastal wildernesses, and New Zealand’s pristine Fiordland National Park, renowned for its glacier-carved fjords.
Optional mid-voyage Seabourn Journeys offer even more depth with land-based adventures to sites like Machu Picchu, the Galápagos Islands, Easter Island, and the sacred landscape of Uluru. These multi-day experiences blend seamlessly with the cruise and offer access to some of the planet’s most remote and revered locales.
Signature Seabourn Touches Enhance Every Mile
While the destinations are the undeniable stars of this global voyage, Seabourn’s signature service and luxurious touches ensure the journey is just as memorable as the stops along the way.
World-Class Onboard Inclusions
The full 145-day and the shorter 126-day Miami-to-Long Beach segment come with a portfolio of complimentary benefits that redefine premium travel. These include upgraded Starlink-powered Wi-Fi, a comprehensive onboard medical package valued at USD 1,000 (approx. AUD 1,500), and up to USD 10,000 (approx. AUD 15,500) in Shipboard Credit depending on the suite level. Guests also enjoy unlimited laundry services, round-trip Business or First-Class air, and even door-to-door private car transfers.
Additional perks like a one-night pre-cruise hotel stay, a spectacular Gala Bon Voyage dinner, Personal Valet® luggage shipping, and exclusive President’s Event ensure the experience begins long before embarkation and continues well after disembarkation.
Exclusive Experiences and Culinary Immersion
Signature moments like Shopping with the Chef in global food capitals—including Sydney, Auckland, and Papeete—provide unforgettable excursions where local ingredients and culture take centre stage. These small-group outings offer guests a behind-the-scenes look at regional gastronomy while enriching the onboard dining experience.
Back on board, guests will delight in Seabourn’s refined atmosphere—intuitive service, elegantly appointed staterooms and suites, and an exceptional selection of restaurants where regional cuisine is celebrated with global flair.
