Seabourn to Operate All Published Voyages
Through August 22, 2024
SEATTLE, March 16,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Seabourn, the leader in
ultra-luxury cruising and expedition travel announced the sale of
Seabourn Odyssey to Mitsui O.S.K.
Lines, Ltd. (MOL). Following the sale, Seabourn will
continue to operate all published voyages through August 22, 2024, under a charter arrangement.
Seabourn Odyssey will be delivered to MOL after the charter
agreement.
"We are proud that Seabourn Odyssey carried our guests across
the world for the last 14 years and are happy to see her join a
great company, MOL," said Seabourn President Natalya Leahy. "As we prepare to say farewell to
Odyssey in September 2024, I am
excited to further optimize our fleet as we grow our expedition
business. With the addition of Seabourn Pursuit this summer,
Seabourn will have one of the most modern fleets in the
ultra-luxury segment with an average age of just seven years."
Seabourn's fleet expansion into the ultra-luxury expedition
market allows for a more diverse offering of deployment
opportunities, which will lead to new and exciting itineraries
across all seven continents with a higher guest capacity compared
to 2019 even after Seabourn Odyssey's departure.
"With this elite, modern fleet, Seabourn continues as the leader
in ultra-luxury travel, providing highly curated and immersive
experiences and unique 'Seabourn Moments' for our guests," Leahy
said.
