Seabourn Venture Sets Records in Antarctica

Known for its ability to exceed the expectations of its guests, Seabourn is doing just that amid its 12-Day “Antarctica Exploration” voyage, which is scheduled to conclude on Feb. 9.

“Guests didn’t just witness Antarctica, they helped set new polar records for Seabourn and the wider Carnival Corporation fleet, reached 70° South, the most southerly point in Seabourn and Carnival Corporation history and completed Seabourn’s first-ever exploration of George VI Sound, venturing well beyond the peninsula’s more familiar routes,” the ultra-luxury line said.

But it doesn’t stop there.

Seabourn Venture also “landed guests directly onto Antarctic Sea ice at approximately 69.5° South for a Champagne toast at the most southerly point any Seabourn guest has ever stood and brought guests ashore at historic Base E on Stonington Island, a rarely visited former British research station offering a tangible link to mid-20th-century Antarctic exploration,” the line said.
