Seabourn Venture

Our guests travel with us because they want to see, hear, learn and discover new places and experiences. To ensure that our guests have memorable and enriching experiences in the over 450 ports of call we offer annually, we contract the best local agents to create and operate some 12,000 carefully curated shore experiences, offering our guests a range of choices in duration, content and the type of activity involved to fully satisfy their wishes. To assist our guests in choosing among these numerous excursion options, we are categorizing our overall Shore Experiences by Seabourn into seven ‘Collections,’ according to the general interests they are designed to captivate.

The Cultural Collection
The Cultural Collection explores the arts, ideas and legacy of places, including access to UNESCO World Heritage sites around the world.

The Bespoke Collection
The Bespoke Collection affords guests opportunities to customize their shore experiences by arranging private cars and drivers, guides, yachts, reservations and other services in ports of call

The Adventure Collection
The Adventure Collection is an array of excursions offering guests active and participatory experiences in ports, including Ventures by Seabourn™ and expedition excursions on our Expedition ships.

The Mindful Living Collection
The Mindful Living Collection consists of guided shoreside experiences in Mindful Living, designed in partnership with world-renowned integrative medicine pioneer.

The Epicurean Collection
The Epicurean Collection invites guests to explore the unique flavors of a destination by indulging their passion for tasting both traditional and contemporary foods and drinks.

The Essential Collection
The Essential Collection offers shorter-duration introductory experiences such as guided walking tours, allowing guests with general interest to learn the highlights about a port.

The Journeys Collection
The Journeys Collection offers escorted pre-, post- and mid-cruise overland experiences of two to 13 days, exploring iconic landmarks impossible to visit during a scheduled port call.

Discover the Wonders that Wait Under the Waterline in Seabourn’s Luxurious New Expedition Submarines

Consider it the ultimate luxury perk on the ultimate luxury expedition ships: a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the wonders of the ocean floor in the comfort of Seabourn’s custom submarines.

The deeper you explore beneath the ocean’s surface, the more unique the scenery becomes, and the more secrets the sea reveals, from incredible sunken shipwrecks to stunning coral reefs to unique marine wildlife normally hidden from human view.

The only way to experience this otherworldly realm is by submarine, and at Seabourn our exacting standards for comfort and luxury mean these undersea explorations take place in custom-built submarines crafted to be the best at the sea.

Each environmentally friendly, battery-powered sub carries just seven people — six guests, three each in two clear acrylic spheres — plus the highly trained pilot guiding the journey. The intimate and innovative new exploration vehicles are capable of diving to depths of 300 meters (984 feet) offering passengers an awe-inspiring perspective of the marine world just outside. Thanks to undisturbed and undistorted views in virtually all directions you’ll come face-to-face with the wonders that lie below the waterline.

Not only will passengers be kept dry and comfortable while the submarine dives under the sea, in keeping with the ultra-luxury experience found on Seabourn, subs are outfitted with custom-embroidered leather upholstery, a Bluetooth stereo system, air conditioning, and champagne chiller so you can toast your extraordinary journey.

To memorialize your time under the sea, the subs are outfitted with a high-tech, 4K underwater video camera system that will capture your underwater experience. The videos will be screened in the Discovery Center for workshops and conversations with guests that are led by marine biologist or oceanographer Expeditions leaders.

This is truly the adventure of a lifetime. Experience it for yourself when Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit set sail for breathtaking locations and remote destinations in the Arctic and Antarctica, as well as in the Caribbean, Central and South America.

Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit's submarines are a high-profile amenity of its expedition capabilities. Itineraries where submarines may be deployed are indicated by an icon, however their use is limited by conditions of currents and visibility, cannot be guaranteed, and are at the Captain’s discretion.

Seabourn is committed to providing safe, easy, and accessible accommodations for all persons with disabilities, to the extent that is feasible. It is for this reason that Seabourn is honoured to be a part of Carnival Corp., which received the Society For Accessible Travel & Hospitality's (SATH) "Access to Freedom" award. This award is the highest honour in the travel industry that SATH presents to recognise individuals or organisations that have made the greatest strides in advancing opportunities for persons with disabilities, and for promoting the awareness of, and access for, travellers with disabilities.

The Importance of Planning Ahead

Seabourn does not discriminate against individuals on the basis of disability. We seek, to the extent feasible, to accommodate guests with disabilities. However, some needs require adequate time to prepare for a guest's arrival. It is recommended that guests make every effort to contact Guest Accessibility and to submit a Special Requirements Information form (SRI) well in advance of the departure of their cruise and/or cruise tour. We recommend submitting an SRI upon booking or a minimum of 45 days prior to departure.

Guests who are unable to care for their basic needs (e.g. dressing, eating, and attending safety drills) MUST have a capable traveling companion. The medical staff on board is not available for daily care unless an individual is hospitalised in the ship's Medical Centre. In limited situations (either on board or ashore), we may find it necessary to ask the individual to make alternative travel arrangements, such as if an individual with a disability is unable to satisfy certain specified safety and other criteria, even when provided with appropriate auxiliary aids and services.

Our vessels have specially designed suites for guests who need mobility assistance. If you have not booked one of these accessible suites but instead will be using a standard suite you need to know about some limitations that adversely impact manoeuvrability, especially ingress and egress. Most entry doors and bathroom doors in non-accessible suites measure 23 inches wide. Bathrooms have a doorsill and the bathtubs are often difficult to negotiate for guests who have limited mobility. Passageways within the suite may be too narrow for a wheelchair or scooter to manoeuvre throughout the suite.

Accessible Suites offer features such as wider entry doors to the suite and bathroom measuring a minimum of 32 inches wide, accessible showers with grab bars, benches/seats, and hand-held shower heads as well as lowered closed and towel rods.

Accessible suite numbers are detailed in the section below by ship and their locations are noted on the deck plans for each ship within the “Onboard Life” section of this website.

Note: For safety reasons, mobility devices must be stored and charged in the guest’s suite.

Seabourn dopušta samo životinje pomagače na brodu, definirane kao one životinje koje su pojedinačno obučene za pružanje pomoći osobi s invaliditetom. Ne dopuštamo gostima da sa sobom donose kućne ljubimce, terapijske/prateće životinje ili druge životinje koje ne ispunjavaju definiciju životinja pomagača. Ako imate bilo kakvih pitanja o tome je li životinja koju želite povesti sa sobom doista životinja pomagač, možete se obratiti službi za pristupačnost gostiju.

Vaš itinerar može uključivati luke s vrlo specifičnim i strogim zahtjevima koje je potrebno ispuniti prije nego što vašoj životinji pomagaču bude dopušteno iskrcavanje s broda. Molimo vas da se upoznate s uvjetima za iskrcaj životinje pomagača u svakoj luci. Najbolji izvori za dobivanje točnih informacija o potrebnoj dokumentaciji i cijepljenjima za vašu životinju pomagača su web stranica Ministarstva poljoprivrede SAD-a, lokalne carinske službe u pojedinim lukama te veterinar vaše životinje pomagača. Sva dokumentacija i zahtjevi za cijepljenje propisani su od strane državnih vlasti, a ne Seabourna. Ako vam je potrebna pomoć u pronalaženju ovih informacija, molimo kontaktirajte službu za pristupačnost gostiju.

Za ukrcaj na brod, vaša životinja pomagač mora imati važeće cijepljenje. Potvrde o statusu cijepljenja trebaju biti dostavljene službi za pristupačnost gostiju prije vašeg polaska. Također preporučujemo da sa sobom nosite evidenciju o cijepljenjima u slučaju da bude potrebna u nekoj luci. Ukoliko nemate odgovarajuću dokumentaciju i dokaz o cijepljenju potrebnom u određenoj luci ili postoje lokalni zahtjevi za karantenom, vašoj životinji pomagaču neće biti dopušteno iskrcavanje s broda. Ako vašoj životinji pomagaču bude uskraćeno iskrcavanje u određenoj luci, osoblje i posada će s vama surađivati kako bi se utvrdile moguće opcije koje vam omogućuju posjet luke bez životinje pomagača. Imajte na umu da u vašoj odsutnosti morate osigurati skrb i nadzor nad svojom životinjom pomagačem. Osim u slučajevima kada je životinji pomagaču uskraćeno iskrcavanje, nije dopušteno ostavljati životinju pomagača bez nadzora na brodu ili u vašem apartmanu u bilo kojem trenutku.

Australske karantenske vlasti promijenile su pristup prema psima pomagačima na kruzerima. Nažalost, njihov novi pristup praktički onemogućuje prihvat životinja pomagača na domaćim ili kružnim putovanjima iz Australije. Ministarstvo poljoprivrede sada ove plovidbe smatra međunarodnim putovanjem te ih stavlja pod 'biološku sigurnosnu kontrolu'. Kao kompanija, izrazito smo razočarani novim pristupom Ministarstva i uputili smo pismo saveznom ministru s molbom za povratak na prethodni način postupanja. Trenutno gosti neće moći putovati sa životinjama pomagačima na putovanjima koja završavaju u Australiji ili koja uključuju luku u Australiji nakon posjete inozemnoj zemlji. Gosti koji putuju na putovanjima koja počinju u Australiji moći će putovati sa svojom životinjom pomagačem pod uvjetom da putovanje ne završava u Australiji nakon posjete inozemnoj luci. Za dodatna pitanja molimo kontaktirajte službu za pristupačnost gostiju putem e-pošte na Access@Seabourn.com.

Attire Ashore:

Packing clothing that can be layered is the best way to plan for cruising in virtually any climate. For tropical cruises, bring light, loose-fitting garments that can be paired with a lightweight jacket or sweater. For cooler climates, pack extra layers of warmer garments such as a light top coat and some sweaters. When dressing to go ashore, it is helpful to be aware of the customs of the countries you are visiting. In some ports men and women should not wear shorts. Many cultures prefer that women wear dresses or skirts when visiting shrines, churches, mosques and temples.

Some of our more adventurous destinations like Alaska and Antarctica voyages have additional special packing requirements.

• Packing for an Alaska Cruise
• Packing for an Arctic or Antarctic Cruise
• Packing for a Kimberley or South Pacific Expedition Cruise
• Packing for an Amazon or Tropics Expedition Cruise
• Packing for a Northern Europe Cruise

Your ship's small but modern basic medical facility is staffed by a doctor and a nurse. This facility is equipped to provide medical care for illness or accidents that may arise during the cruise, but is not intended to provide ongoing medical treatment. Since we are either at sea or in ports where availability of medical facilities and pharmaceutical products may be limited, we suggest you bring adequate supplies of prescription medications and other health-related items.

Onboard medical facilities are equipped to provide care for unexpected illness and accidents. These basic facilities are not intended or designed for ongoing treatment of pre-existing conditions. If you anticipate a need for medical services, your special requirement must be cleared in writing with Seabourn before your booking can be finalized.

Program zaštite okoliša tvrtke Carnival Corporation & plc poziv je na akciju svim zaposlenicima da čuvaju naše oceane, mora i vodene putove od štetnih utjecaja – osiguravajući da ekosustavi, biljni svijet i vodene životinje napreduju, sada i u budućnosti.

Smanjenje jednokratnih predmeta i plastike

Čvrsto smo predani značajnom smanjenju neesencijalnih jednokratnih predmeta, uključujući plastiku, na brodovima za 50% do kraja 2021. Unatoč pandemiji i potrebi za korištenjem nekih jednokratnih predmeta iz zdravstvenih i sanitarnih razloga, nastavljamo neumorno raditi na ostvarenju ovog cilja.

Smanjenje bacanja hrane

Bacanje hrane predstavlja ključni globalni problem, a svatko od nas ima ulogu u smanjenju gubitaka i otpada hrane. Kao dio naše predanosti smanjenju bacanja hrane, uspostavili smo radnu skupinu za poboljšanje upravljanja otpadom hrane diljem flote. Također instaliramo bio-digestore za hranu kako bismo minimalizirali količinu otpada od hrane.

Ciljevi za 2030.

• Postići 50% smanjenje jednokratnih plastičnih predmeta do 2021.
• Postići 30% smanjenje jedinica otpada hrane do 2022.
• Postići 50% smanjenje otpada hrane do 2030.
• Povećati pokrivenost naprednim sustavima pročišćavanja otpadnih voda na više od 75% kapaciteta naše flote.
• Upravljati većim udjelom otpada prema postrojenjima za pretvaranje otpada u energiju gdje je to moguće.
• Partnerstvo s glavnim dobavljačima radi smanjenja volumena ambalaže u početnoj fazi.

Aspiracije za 2050.

• Izgradnja brodova bez potrebe za ispuštanjem u ocean ili zrak (brodovi s nultom emisijom).
• Slanje 100% otpada u postrojenja za pretvaranje otpada u energiju.
• Partnerstvo s glavnim dobavljačima radi osiguravanja gotovo 100% ponovne upotrebe materijala za pakiranje.

Bio-digestori za otpad hrane

Godine 2020. nastavili smo s instalacijom dodatnih bio-digestora na floti. Bio-digestori koriste aerobni proces razgradnje unutar strojeva koji učinkovito razgrađuje otpad hrane. Ova zelena tehnologija također podržava i unapređuje operacije na brodu, čineći upravljanje i kontrolu otpada hrane učinkovitijim za članove posade.

Putovanje sa Seabournom je luksuzno, a opet opušteno; elegantno, a opet nenametljivo; raskošno, a opet suptilno; i prosvjetljujuće kao i zabavno.
