SEABOURN Cruise Line has taken delivery of Seabourn Pursuit (pictured) the brand’s second purpose-built ultra-luxury expedition ship.
The official maritime handover ceremony took place at the T. Mariotti shipyard in Genoa.
Pursuit is scheduled to enter service on 12 Aug, and will sail five voyages in the Mediterranean, before embarking on two cruises across the Atlantic and through the Caribbean.
The ship will arrive in Barbados on 10 Oct to begin her expedition journeys, before heading south for voyages exploring coastal South America, the Amazon, and Antarctica into late Mar.
Following her inaugural Antarctic season, Pursuit will head across the islands of the South Pacific and Australia, which will be the start of the line’s first exploration of the Kimberley region in the NT and Western Australia between Jun and Aug 2024 (CW 27 Feb).
In addition to the Kimberley, Pursuit will visit Papua New Guinea, West Papua, Indonesia, and sail across the South Pacific between Chile and Melanesia between Mar and Oct 2024.
“I am honoured to share this incredible moment with the entire Seabourn family as we welcome Seabourn Pursuit, our highly anticipated second ultra-luxury expedition ship, into our fleet,” President Natalya Leahy expressed.
“With remarkable craftsmanship by the Mariotti team, an abundance of space, and the breathtaking style of Tihany Design, Seabourn Pursuit raises the bar for ultra-luxury expedition travel.
“We are grateful to Mariotti and Tihany Design for their expertise in shaping and making our dream come true for our guests,” she added.
