Seabourn Takes Delivery of First Expedition Ship

Seabourn Venture, the first ultra-luxury expedition ship to join the fleet, has officially been handed over to its new owners. The official handover maritime ceremony took place at the T. Mariotti shipyard in Genoa ahead of her inaugural voyage on 15 July.

Featuring 132 luxurious oceanfront veranda suites, Seabourn Venture has been designed and built to PC6 Polar Class standards and will include modern hardware and technology. The vessel will provide a luxury small-ship experience and be led by a 26-person team of scientists, scholars, naturalists and more.

Complimentary Seabourn Expedition amenities include Zodiac cruises, nature walks, scuba diving and hiking. Two custom-built submarines will also be deployed at certain destinations.

President of Seabourn Josh Leibowitz said:

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.

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.
