SEATTLE, Sept. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Seabourn,
the ultra-luxury resort at sea, will offer a host of immersive
experiences and adventures in Alaska and British
Columbia in 2021 aboard the luxurious Seabourn Odyssey. The
ship will take travelers to explore the vast wilderness and beauty
of "The Great Land" as it winds its way through the region next
summer during a series of 7-, 10- and 11-day voyages
in a way that is unique in the market.
With its small ship, club-like atmosphere and award-winning
onboard luxury rivaling any resort, Seabourn is the best way to
explore America's Last Frontier for travelers looking to book a
vacation for next summer. The intimate size and maneuverability of
Seabourn Odyssey, which carries just 458 guests, all in spacious
oceanfront suites, most with verandas, assures a privileged
view of this great land that is virtually unmatched and where
larger cruise ships cannot access.
"Alaska and British Columbia have so much to offer, from
amazing wildlife to breathtaking, natural scenery, and unique
culture," said Chris Austin,
Seabourn's senior vice president of Global Marketing & Sales.
"Our ultra-luxury voyages and experiences, combined with the
splendor of this region, will provide the ultimate Alaska experience that will undoubtedly leave
them feeling rejuvenated by the incredible wide-open spaces."
Inspired by the success of the past several seasons, Seabourn
has carefully curated an enriching and in-depth schedule for its
2021 season. These include eight innovative 7-day voyages between
Vancouver and Juneau, Alaska, which are ideal for a one-week
vacation or can be combined into 14-day voyages with no repeated
ports. Guests who book the back-to-back voyages can also save up to
15 percent on the cruise fare. Seabourn's 7-day itineraries are
unique in the marketplace because they provide a comprehensive
Inside Passage experience with ports that aren't visited by most
cruise lines.
The schedule will also feature 10- and 11-day voyages sailing
between Whittier (Anchorage), Alaska, and Vancouver. Every voyage will include a
spectacular glacier experience at either Hubbard Glacier or
Tracy Arm/Endicott Arm. In addition,
four sailings will visit the remote Glacier Bay National
Park, with narration and insider observations by a National
Park Service Ranger to enhance the experience.
All the 2021 voyages will offer optional for-charge Ventures
by Seabourn expedition-style tours, featuring guided Zodiac
and kayak excursions launched directly from the ship, as well
as hiking and wildlife viewing. Guests will not only enjoy
glaciers, fjords and rustic Alaskan ports that every Alaska cruiser expects, but also signature
"hidden gems" like Misty Fjords that larger ships cannot access.
These excursions will be led by Seabourn Odyssey's expedition team
of naturalists, science, wildlife and historical experts. They will
also interact with guests throughout each sailing, including
complimentary formal presentations as part of the Seabourn
Conversations program, and on deck, pointing out, interpreting
and enhancing desirable locations as well as in more casual
conversations over meals or at leisure. Guests who can't get enough
can get more through team chronicles and photos shared via
Seabourn's Voyage Tracker.
In addition to Ventures by Seabourn, the line will offer a
number of exciting, optional shore excursions for guests to explore
the destinations, from whale watching outings and nature walks to
helicopter and seaplane adventures. One of the offerings include
the line's popular "Enjoy Your Catch" experience, an exclusive
culinary experience available at select ports where guests can hook
and savor their own personal catch of the day prepared by the
onboard culinary team.
Guests can extend their time in Alaska and British
Columbia with Seabourn Journeys, pre- and/or post-cruise
packages featuring destinations and experiences in treasured
locations that cannot be accessed on single-day excursions from
Seabourn Odyssey. These include a visit to Banff National Park, a designated UNESCO World
Heritage site, aboard the Rocky Mountaineer luxury
train.
