Seabourn Venture’s inaugural cruises go on sale

The ship, which is due to launch in December 2021, will be the Carnival Corporation-owned line’s first purpose-built expedition ship.

Venture’s inaugural season, running from December 2021 to April 2022, will sail on a range of 10- to 14-day Norwegian Winter voyages.

Seabourn president Josh Leibowitz said: “Our Norwegian Winter itineraries were carefully designed to offer guests the potential to view one of earth’s true wonders, the northern lights.

“There will be no better way to explore Norway’s winter beauty than on our new ultra-luxury expedition ship and all the activities it offers.”

Seabourn Venture, which will offer 132 oceanfront veranda suites, will carry two six-seat custom submarines, expedition kayaks and 24 Zodiacs, allowing guests to explore Norway’s winter landscape and wildlife.

A sister ship to Venture will be launched in 2022, but has yet to be named.
