Quick Answer: Seabourn Venture is a luxury expedition ship — 23,000 GT, 264 guests, launched in 2022. She carries two custom submarines, Zodiac landing craft, and a 26-person expedition team for polar and remote-destination voyages. This page covers deck plans, live tracking, dining venues, and videos.
Who She's For: Adventurous luxury travelers who want expedition landings and submarine dives without sacrificing Seabourn's signature service. Venture suits those heading to Antarctica, the Arctic, or remote coastlines who want fine dining alongside Zodiac excursions.
Seabourn Venture bridges the gap between luxury cruise and expedition voyage. At 264 guests she is far smaller than the ocean-going Seabourn fleet, purpose-built for ice and remote landings with a PC6 ice-class hull. The two onboard submarines (optional, extra cost) offer undersea exploration unavailable on most other luxury lines. If you want traditional Seabourn luxury cruising without the expedition element, Encore or Ovation (604 guests) offer the larger ocean experience. Her sister ship Seabourn Pursuit offers identical expedition capabilities on different itineraries.
