Seabourn Pursuit

Descoperiți minunile ascunse sub linia apei în noile submarine de expediție luxoase ale Seabourn

Considerați aceasta drept cea mai rafinată facilitate de lux pe cele mai exclusive nave de expediție: o oportunitate unică în viață de a admira minunile fundului oceanic în confortul submarinelor personalizate Seabourn.

Cu cât explorați mai adânc sub suprafața oceanului, cu atât peisajele devin mai unice, iar secretele mării se dezvăluie în toată splendoarea lor — de la epave scufundate incredibile, la recife de corali uimitoare și la faună marină rară, ascunsă ochiului uman.

Singura modalitate de a pătrunde în acest tărâm de basm este prin submarin, iar la Seabourn, standardele noastre exigente de confort și lux asigură că aceste explorări subacvatice se desfășoară în submarine construite special pentru a fi cele mai bune din largul mării.

Fiecare submarin ecologic, alimentat cu baterii, găzduiește doar șapte persoane — șase oaspeți, câte trei în două sfere clare din acril — plus pilotul extrem de bine pregătit care conduce călătoria. Aceste vehicule intime și inovatoare de explorare pot coborî până la adâncimi de 300 de metri, oferind pasagerilor o perspectivă uluitoare asupra lumii marine din jur. Datorită vizibilității neîntrerupte și nealterate în aproape toate direcțiile, veți întâlni față în față minunile ascunse sub linia apei.

Pasagerii vor rămâne nu doar uscați și confortabili pe durata scufundării, ci, în spiritul experienței ultra-luxoase Seabourn, submarinele sunt dotate cu tapițerie din piele brodată personalizat, sistem stereo Bluetooth, aer condiționat și răcitor de șampanie, pentru a vă putea celebra călătoria extraordinară.

Pentru a păstra amintirea timpului petrecut sub mare, submarinele sunt echipate cu un sistem video subacvatic 4K de ultimă generație, care va surprinde experiența dumneavoastră subacvatică. Înregistrările vor fi proiectate în Discovery Center, unde vor avea loc ateliere și discuții conduse de biologi marini sau oceanografi, lideri ai expedițiilor.

Aceasta este cu adevărat aventura vieții. Trăiți-o personal când Seabourn Venture și Seabourn Pursuit pornesc spre destinații uluitoare și locuri îndepărtate din Arctica și Antarctica, precum și în Caraibe, America Centrală și America de Sud.

Submarinele Seabourn Venture și Seabourn Pursuit reprezintă o facilitate de prestigiu în cadrul capacităților lor de expediție. Itinerariile în care submarinele pot fi utilizate sunt marcate printr-un simbol, însă folosirea lor depinde de condițiile curenților și vizibilității, nu poate fi garantată și este la discreția căpitanului.

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.

The Landing Zone is the area where exploration begins. There are two landing zones, port and starboard side on Deck 3. The launch and recovery point for landings, it's a spacious environment where guests change and clean their gear in comfort, as well as a place to store excursion essentials like boots. It's designed for functionality, accessibility and ease, offering direct access to one of the 24 Zodiacs available for Ventures by Seabourn® adventures. In tropical areas, it's the place to kick off scuba, snorkelling and similar undersea adventures.

Shopping with the Chef — at local food markets. Shop a bustling Sicilian market, gather spices in Istanbul or explore the local wines of Tuscany and Provence. Wherever you are in the world, you'll enjoy an insider's look at unique regional markets with an expert Seabourn chef as your guide

Enjoy fascinating Seabourn Conversations sessions with guest experts from the fields of arts, history, science, and more.

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 permite la bord doar animale de serviciu, definite ca acele animale antrenate individual pentru a oferi asistență unei persoane cu dizabilități. Nu permitem oaspeților să aducă animale de companie, animale terapeutice/însoțitoare sau alte animale care nu corespund definiției de animale de serviciu. Dacă aveți întrebări privind dacă animalul pe care doriți să îl aduceți la bord este, într-adevăr, un animal de serviciu, vă rugăm să contactați Departamentul de Accesibilitate pentru Oaspeți.

Itinerariul dumneavoastră poate include porturi cu cerințe foarte specifice și stricte care trebuie îndeplinite înainte ca animalul dumneavoastră de serviciu să fie autorizat să părăsească vasul. Vă rugăm să vă asigurați că înțelegeți cerințele pentru ca un animal de serviciu să poată debarca în fiecare port. Cele mai bune surse pentru a obține informații precise despre documentația necesară și vaccinările obligatorii pentru animalul dumneavoastră de serviciu sunt site-ul Departamentului Agriculturii al SUA, birourile vamale locale din porturile respective și medicul veterinar al animalului. Toate cerințele privind documentația și vaccinările sunt stabilite de autoritățile guvernamentale, nu de Seabourn. Dacă aveți nevoie de asistență pentru a găsi aceste informații, vă rugăm să contactați Departamentul de Accesibilitate pentru Oaspeți.

Pentru a urca la bord, animalul dumneavoastră de serviciu trebuie să aibă vaccinările la zi. Documentele care confirmă starea vaccinării trebuie furnizate Departamentului de Accesibilitate pentru Oaspeți înainte de plecare. De asemenea, recomandăm să purtați cu dumneavoastră aceste înregistrări de vaccinare, în cazul în care sunt solicitate în vreun port. Dacă nu dețineți documentația corespunzătoare și dovada vaccinărilor necesare pentru animalul dumneavoastră de serviciu într-un port de escală sau dacă există cerințe locale de carantină, animalul dumneavoastră va fi refuzat să părăsească vasul. În cazul în care animalul de serviciu este refuzat la debarcare într-un port, personalul și echipajul vor colabora cu dumneavoastră pentru a identifica ce opțiuni sunt posibile pentru a vă permite să vizitați portul fără animalul de serviciu. Vă rugăm să rețineți că, în absența dumneavoastră, va trebui să asigurați îngrijirea și supravegherea animalului. Cu excepția situațiilor în care debarcarea animalului a fost refuzată, nu este permis să lăsați animalul de serviciu nesupravegheat pe vas sau în suite în niciun moment.

Autoritățile australiene de carantină și-au schimbat abordarea privind câinii de serviciu la bordul vaselor de croazieră. Din păcate, noua lor politică face practic imposibilă acceptarea animalelor de serviciu pe croazierele interne sau cele cu plecare și întoarcere în Australia. Departamentul Agriculturii consideră acum aceste croaziere echivalente cu o călătorie internațională și, prin urmare, supuse „controlului de biosecuritate”. Ca companie, suntem profund dezamăgiți de această schimbare și am adresat o scrisoare Ministrului Federal pentru a solicita revenirea la politica anterioară. În prezent, oaspeții nu pot călători cu animale de serviciu pe croaziere care se încheie în Australia sau care includ un port australian după o escală într-o țară străină. Oaspeții care pornesc în croaziere din Australia pot călători cu animalul de serviciu, cu condiția ca itinerariul să nu includă o întoarcere în Australia după vizitarea unui port străin. Pentru întrebări suplimentare, vă rugăm să contactați Departamentul de Accesibilitate pentru Oaspeți prin e-mail la Access@Seabourn.com.

Guests under 21 years of age must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or chaperone who is at least 21 years old; one adult chaperone is required for every five people under age 21. A guest must be at least 6 years of age at the time of embarkation in order to sail on voyages to Antarctica or on Expedition Cruises. We will not accept reservations for infants 6 months or younger for non-transocean sailings, 12 months or younger for transocean sailings at the time the cruise commences. Seabourn cannot accept a booking or carry any guest who will be 24 completed weeks or more pregnant on the last day of the intended cruise. All pregnant women are required to produce a physician’s letter stating that mother and baby are in good health, fit to travel, and that the pregnancy is not high-risk.

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
• Here are some brief videos on packing for Polar and Tropical expedition voyages.
• What Do I Pack and Wear on a Polar Expedition?
• What Do I Pack and Wear on a Tropical Expedition?

Please Note: Firearms, explosives, fireworks, other weapons and knives or sharp blades over 2.5 inches long and illegal drugs of any kind are prohibited without exception. Due to safety and onboard security reasons personal Satellite dish/receivers, routers and other internet related equipment are not allowed onboard.

Full list of Prohibited Items

For safety reasons drones and any other remote controlled aerial devices/toys, as well as hoverboards or similar devices are not allowed on board our ships.

For the comfort of all guests, most public areas on board, as well as guest suites, are smoke-free.

Cigarette smoking is permitted in the following areas:

• Smoking of electronic cigarettes is permitted in guest suites.

Outside smoking of cigarettes, cigars and pipes are permitted in designated areas of Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit:

• The designated smoking area is the starboard half of the Sky Bar open deck.

Outside smoking of cigarettes is permitted in designated areas of Seabourn Sojourn, Seabourn Quest, Seabourn Encore, and Seabourn Ovation:

• The designated smoking area for all ships is the starboard half of the Sky Bar open deck.
• Cigarette, cigar & pipe smoking is allowed on the starboard half of the Seabourn Square outside deck.

Inside smoking of cigarettes is not permitted. Smoking of water-pipes, glass-pipes or other smoking devices is not permitted on board. Smoking is not permitted on open decks during fuel bunkering operations in port. Guests are asked to refrain from smoking anywhere inside the ship, including in guest suites, on verandas and balconies. If you have any doubts about any area, please consult your onboard staff.

Any guest who smokes inside staterooms or on adjoining verandas in violation of our policy will be charged a US$250 cleaning fee per day of violation.

Seabourn ships offer guests access to the internet by means of transmission between satellites orbiting approximately 20,000 miles above the earth and our mobile shipboard system. While this technology enables mid-ocean access in virtually every part of the world, satellite service is frequently noticeably slower and slightly less reliable than land-based methods of access due to the motion of the ship and limitations of bandwidth. There are two main reasons for this:

• The available bandwidth from satellite transmission is much lower than is available from most shoreside systems served by stationary cables with much greater bandwidth capacity.
• In addition, a shipboard system is typically serving a greater number of users simultaneously than most shoreside networks. Many shoreside users use wireless cell phone systems for internet access, further reducing demand on hardwired systems. Each user’s data transmission occupies a portion of the available bandwidth. More users means slower service.

For these reasons, we ask that guests not use internet service for high volume uses such as gaming, file sharing or streaming video content. The internet service on board is generally quite adequate for all guests’ usage when web browsing and sending or retrieving email.

Guests can access the internet either at terminals located in Seabourn Square, or wirelessly using their own wireless-enabled devices in most locations on board, including in guest suites, lounges and most areas on open decks.

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.

At Seabourn we do not discriminate against individuals on the basis of disability. We seek to the extent feasible to accommodate the needs of all individuals with disabilities, including children. However, due to the sensitivity of caring for any child, with or without a disability, we must first determine what the child's specific needs are so we may properly evaluate and determine the best and safest way to meet the child's needs. We encourage families to contact Guest Accessibility prior to their cruise, to evaluate and determine what the child's specific needs will be and how best to accommodate those needs.

Seabourn Cruise Line offers pre- and post-cruise transfers in luxury sedans for two guests. Private van transfers can also be arranged for a minimum of four guests traveling in the same group. A standard private sedan will accommodate two guests, two large pieces of luggage and two carry-ons. If you require additional space, requests for vans can be accommodated.

We recommend booking your transfer no later than 60 days prior to departure. To request a transfer please call Seabourn Reservations. Please be sure to have your Seabourn booking number, airport name/city, flight date, airline carrier and flight number available. Transfers for disembarkation may be either purchased in advance through Seabourn Reservations or arranged on board. Please note: Transfers between most hotels in Venice are via water-taxi.

Once you have supplied Seabourn with your flight details or hotel information, any subsequent changes must be communicated to Seabourn at least 14 days prior to embarkation. Failure to advise of changes may result in a missed transfer and charges are non-refundable. Local Seabourn representatives are unable to assist guests without advance transfer arrangements. Local representatives are independent service contractors for whom Seabourn acts solely as an agent.

Please allow sufficient time pre-cruise for airport landing formalities and transportation time to the pier in order to check-in for the ship prior to the ship departing. All guests must be checked in at least one hour prior to departure. For post-cruise transfers, please allow sufficient time for the ship to be cleared with Immigration and local Customs authorities, and the transportation time to get to the airport for departing flights. Flights booked with Seabourn take these times into consideration when booking.

Seabourn air/sea programs include group transfers between the airport and the pier on the day of embarkation/disembarkation. For deviations in air arrival/departure schedule, private transfers must be purchased separately. Seabourn land/hotel programs include appropriate transfers between the airport, hotel and pier.

Transfers from the port city airport to the ship on day of sailing and from the ship to the port city airport on the day of disembarkation are available for purchase from Seabourn. Transfers are available to Fly Cruise guests and to guests who have independent flight plans. Reservations and payment are required at least 14 days prior to your sailing date. Guests with independent flight arrangements must advise Seabourn of this information at least 14 days prior to sailing.

Carnival Corporation & plc’s environmental stewardship program is a call to action for all employees to protect our oceans, seas, and waterways from environmental harm – ensuring ecosystems, plant life, and aquatic animals thrive, both now and in the future.

Single-Use Items and Plastics Reduction

We are strongly committed to significantly reducing non-essential single-use items, including plastics, on board our ships by 50% by the end of 2021. Despite the pandemic, and the need to continue to use some single-use items for health and sanitation reasons, we continue working towards our goal.

Food Waste Reduction

Food waste is a key global issue and everyone has a part to play in reducing food loss and waste. As part of our commitment to reduce food waste we implemented a task force to improve food waste management across the fleet. We are also installing food waste Bio-Digesters to minimize the volume of food waste.

2030 Goals

• Achieve 50% single-use plastic item reduction by 2021.
• Achieve 30% unit food waste reduction by 2022.
• Achieve 50% food waste reduction by 2030.
• Increase Advanced Waste Water Treatment System coverage to > 75% of our fleet capacity.
• Send a larger percentage of waste to waste-to-energy facilities where practical.
• Partner with primary vendors to reduce upstream packaging volumes.

2050 Aspirations

• Build ships without the need to discharge to the ocean or air (zero-emission ships).
• Send 100% of waste to waste-to energy facilities.
• Partner with primary vendors to ensure near 100% reuse of packaging materials.

Food Waste Biodigesters

In 2020, we continued to install additional biodigesters throughout the fleet. Biodigesters use an aerobic digestion process that takes place within the machines and efficiently breaks down food waste. This green technology also supports and enhances operations on board, making it more efficient for crew members to manage and control food waste.
