Picture yourself on one voyage that touches five continents. It stops at more than 30 islands and visits ports most cruise passengers never see in a lifetime. That’s what Seabourn just opened for booking.

You’ll be sailing aboard Seabourn Quest, a ship small enough to slip into harbors bigger vessels can’t reach. That gets you into places that rarely show up on a typical cruise map. You’ll still get Seabourn’s usual perks along the way, like oceanfront suites, personalized service and world-class dining.

This 138-Day Voyage Covers Serious Ground

Seabourn opened bookings for the new World Cruise, sailing from Miami to Lisbon between Jan. 7 and May 26, 2029. You’ll cover more than 32,000 nautical miles across 58 destinations in 31 countries and territories. That includes 32 islands and more than 25 UNESCO World Heritage sites, like Fiordland National Park and Zanzibar’s Stone Town.

The Remote Stops Most Ships Skip

Bora Bora and Easter Island are on the list, but you’ll also hit places most travelers have never heard of. Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas Islands, Praslin in the Seychelles, Antsiranana in Madagascar, Akaroa in New Zealand and Burnie in Tasmania all make the cut. It’s the kind of itinerary that goes further off the map than a typical cruise allows.

Extended Stays and 2 Standout Events

You’ll also get more time in port than most cruises allow. The itinerary builds in 20 extended stays and eight overnight calls, including Lima, Bora Bora, Bali, Singapore, Sydney, Zanzibar and Cape Town. Additional extended stops include Auckland, Melbourne, Colombo and Las Palmas.

Two moments stand out. In Bali, you’ll get a two-day, one-night stay built around private cultural encounters and village visits. In Cape Town, you’ll head to an after-hours evening at the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, with regional cuisine, live entertainment and views of Table Mountain.

Book Early and Save

Reserve the full voyage, or an eligible segment, by Sept. 17, 2026, and you’ll get a 10% early booking discount plus a reduced 50% deposit. Full World Cruise guests also score round-trip business class air, a pre-cruise hotel stay in Miami and shipboard credit up to $8,000 per suite.

You’ll also get extras like unlimited laundry service and an upgraded Wi-Fi package for two devices. If months at sea across five continents sounds like your kind of trip, this one’s worth a look before spots disappear.
