Luxury expedition cruise line, Seabourn, began its 2024 Alaska cruise season on May 10, 2024 as the Seabourn Odyssey sailed from Vancouver for the first departure of the season.
Seabourn Odyssey will offer 12 seven-day Alaska voyages now through August, 2024, sailing both northbound and southbound versions of the itinerary, which sails between Vancouver and Juneau to visit the Seymour Narrows, Stikine Strait, Snow Pass, Behm Canal, Ketchikan, Sitka, Wrangell, Prince Rupert and Alert Bay.
Additionally, a few 10-day Alaska Fjords Odyssey departures offer a roundtrip sailing from Vancouver to Ketchikan, Sitka, Icy Strait Point, Juneau and, for the first time, the Indigenous-owned port of Klawock on Prince of Wales Islands. Seabourn was the first cruise line to visit Klawock when it opened on May 6.
An 11-day Inside Passage & Alaska Fjords itinerary also sails from Vancouver and visits Tongass National Rainforest, in addition to the same destinations along the 10-day Alaska Fjords Odyssey.
After the Alaska cruise season ends, the Seabourn Odyssey will be retired from service with the cruise line. To commemorate its retirement, Seabourn is offering a 22-day Farewell Voyage departing from Seattle on September 2. It’ll travel to Alaska before sailing to Hokkaido and ending in Yokohama, Japan.
"While Seabourn will continue sailing to Alaska in the future, this upcoming season marks the final journeys of Seabourn Odyssey to 'the Great Land,' and we invite our guests to embark on one final voyage with her before she departs our fleet," said Natalya Leahy, president of Seabourn.
"As our very experienced Alaska Captain Tim Roberts shared with me once, 'you have not seen Alaska until you have sailed with Seabourn',” continued Leahy. “This is because our meticulously crafted itineraries will take our extraordinary guests on the ultimate retreat into nature with a blend of up-close adventures and ultra-luxury amenities to immerse themselves in the beauty of Alaska. The ship's intimate size and yacht-like atmosphere will grant them unparalleled intimacy with the land's vast wildlife and breathtaking wilderness."
The line’s 2025-2026 cruise itineraries and departures are currently available to book.
