Ultra-luxury ocean and expedition cruise line Seabourn has taken delivery of its first expedition ship Seabourn Venture. The vessel is the first of two purpose-built, ultra-luxury expedition ships for Seabourn.
Seabourn has taken delivery of Seabourn Venture, the ultra-luxury cruise line’s first expedition ship. The handover ceremony took place at the T. Mariotti shipyard in Genoa, Italy.
The vessel features 132 luxurious oceanfront veranda suites and will take travelers to some of the most awe-inspiring places in the world, some of which are only accessed by ship.
“Today is so incredibly special and important as we take ownership of our first ultra-luxury expedition ship and welcome Seabourn Venture to the Seabourn family,” said Seabourn President Josh Leibowitz. “The Mariotti team has done a wonderful job in the building of the ship and bringing Adam Tihany’s stunning design vision to life. Seabourn Venture will raise the bar in ultra-luxury expedition travel, and we look forward to introducing her to the world as she sets sail to explore remote destinations from the polar regions in the Arctic to the southernmost continent of Antarctica.”
Seabourn Venture has been designed and built for diverse environments to PC6 Polar Class standards and includes a plethora of modern hardware and technology that will extend the ship’s global deployment and capabilities.
