Seabourn has revealed “The Ruby Collection,” a curated series of 54 voyages in 2028 to commemorate the line’s 40th anniversary. Now open for booking, the Ruby Collection spans the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, Japan, Alaska, Northern Europe, the Arctic, and Antarctica.
From yacht harbours to polar regions, the Ruby Collection commemorates Seabourn’s Ruby Jubilee with Yachtsman sailings, newly designed itineraries and notable voyages.
2028 Cape to Cape World Cruise
The centrepiece of The Ruby Collection is the 120-Day “Cape to Cape” World Cruise. Departing January 7, 2028, Seabourn Quest will visit 58 destinations across 23 countries on five continents, with immersive exploration in destinations such as Antarctica, Easter Island, the Falkland Islands, and Cape Town. The voyage begins with a transit of the Panama Canal. A 112-day option from Miami to Lisbon is also available.
2028 Grand Expedition: Arctic to Antarctica
Seabourn Venture will once again unite the world’s northernmost and southernmost frontiers with a 96-day voyage departing August 16, 2028, sailing from the Arctic to Antarctica. The journey begins in the High Arctic, exploring Ellesmere Island, one of the world’s northernmost and most remote frontiers. Along the way, guests experience wildlife sightings and expedition landings across 14 countries and territories. An 82-day Arctic to Antarctica option is also available, departing August 30, 2028.
The Yachtsman Collection
The Yachtsman Collection concentrates on smaller Mediterranean and Caribbean ports. Itineraries call at secluded yacht havens including Bequia, Martinique, and British Virgin Islands, Corsica and Sardinia. Several sailings include an overnight in Portofino and time on Pátmos to visit the Monastery of St. John.
In the Caribbean, Seabourn Ovation operates a series of seven- to 14-day yacht-harbour voyages between Sint Maarten and Barbados, including the ABC Islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao. Two New Year’s itineraries culminate in a New Year’s Day Caviar in the Surf celebration as Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Quest converge at Carambola Beach, St. Kitts.
In the Mediterranean, Seabourn Ovation runs a series of seven-day yacht-harbour sailings across the Aegean Sea, the Côte d’Azur, the Dalmatian Coast, and the islands of Sardinia and Corsica.
New Voyages
Southeast Asia & Japan
Seabourn Encore sails a series of Southeast Asia and Japan itineraries built around overnights in Shanghai, Osaka, and Kobe, and new Taiwan port calls at Taichung and Tainan.
Alaska
Seabourn Encore returns to Alaska with itineraries timed to the extended daylight of the summer solstice, adding maiden calls to Petersburg, Valdez, and the Chiswell Islands.
Canada & New England
On Seabourn Quest, a new Canada and New England itinerary marks Seabourn’s return to Red Bay, with an overnight in St. John’s, Newfoundland, and scenic cruising along the St. Lawrence River.
Northern Europe, the Arctic and the Canadian Maritimes
Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit expand the line’s exploration of the North. A round-trip Reykjavík expedition dedicates six days to Svalbard, home to the Arctic’s largest concentration of polar bears, with 199 guests aboard.
South America & Antarctica
Seabourn’s expedition ships extend deeper into the Southern Hemisphere, with itineraries that combine Antarctica with the Juan Fernández Islands and Chilean Fjords, or with the Falklands, South Georgia, and Brazil.
A 34-day voyage will cross the Atlantic Ocean, with visits to the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, and the remote islands of Saint Helena and Tristan da Cunha – the most remote inhabited island in the world. The season emphasises expedition access with Zodiac and kayak exploration, penguin colonies, and landings on remote Antarctic shores.
Returning Favourites
The Ruby Collection also brings back guest favourites that have anchored the Seabourn experience for nearly four decades. Baltic itineraries return alongside established routes across Alaska, the British Isles, Southeast Asia, and Antarctica, from the glacier-lined Inside Passage and the Scottish Isles to the Northwest Passage and the wildlife-rich waters of South Georgia and the Falkland Islands.
