Seabourn Odyssey will sail "The Great Land" in
ultra-luxury style and comfort through summer 2024 as she completes
her final season with the fleet
SEATTLE, May 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Seabourn, the leader in
ultra-luxury cruising and expedition travel, will kick off its 2024
Alaska season on May 10,2024 with Seabourn Odyssey
departing from Vancouver for an
enriching and in-depth schedule to some of the region's most
popular destinations and rarely visited ports throughout the Inside
Passage. The season will also mark Seabourn Odyssey's final
season with the cruise line, providing one more opportunity for
guests to sail on the iconic ship.
Seabourn Odyssey will sail on 12 seven-day
voyages from May through August
2024, sailing northbound or southbound between Vancouver and Juneau, with different sites, scenes,
adventures, and ports to experience each way. Each seven-day voyage
can also be combined to create a longer, more immersive 14-day
round-trip Vancouver voyage. The
ship will also offer two 10-day Alaska Fjord Odyssey
itineraries, as well as one 11-day Inside Passage & Alaska
Fjords voyages, scheduled round trip from Vancouver in June. In addition, guests may
choose from a number of immersive experiences through Seabourn's
popular and unique Ventures by Seabourn program,
featuring optional guided kayak and Zodiac tours led by the line's
world-class expedition team. The ship will complete its final
season with a 22-day Farewell Voyage, traveling through
Alaska before crossing the Pacific
to 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'.
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."

- Seven-Day Alaska Itineraries – Each seven-day
Alaska itinerary features days of
pure cruising through jaw-dropping settings such as Seymour
Narrows, Stikine Strait, Snow Pass and the Behm Canal, interspersed

Rupert and Alert Bay in
British Columbia. Each sailing
will include at least one scenic cruise of glaciers like Tracy or
