If a once-in-a-lifetime cruise has been sitting on your bucket list, Seabourn just made it very tempting to start planning far ahead.
The luxury line has officially opened bookings for its 2028 World Cruise, a globe-spanning journey that blends classic world cruising with expedition-style exploration.
A 120-Day Journey Around the World
Seabourn’s newest world voyage will sail aboard Seabourn Quest, taking guests on a 120-day adventure that covers more than 26,000 nautical miles.
Branded as the “2028 Cape to Cape World Cruise,” the itinerary stretches across:
- Five continents
- 50+ destinations
- 38 UNESCO World Heritage Sites
It’s the kind of sailing designed for travelers who want depth, not just distance — mixing iconic ports with some truly remote locations.
Departure Details and Route Highlights
The voyage begins in Miami on January 7, 2028, setting off on a sweeping route that connects two of the world’s most legendary capes.
Key regions and destinations include:
- Cape Horn, South America
- Cape of Good Hope, South Africa
- Antarctica
- Easter Island
- Falkland Islands
- A transit of the Panama Canal
That Panama Canal crossing isn’t just scenic — it’s symbolic, echoing the spirit of Seabourn’s earliest sailings as the line heads into a milestone year.
Expedition-Style Experiences Built In
Unlike traditional world cruises that focus mainly on ports and sea days, this sailing leans heavily into exploration.
Seabourn is deploying an expanded 18-member expedition team to support landings and experiences in:
- Antarctica
- The Chilean Fjords
- Other select remote regions along the route
That means guided shore excursions, wildlife encounters, and deeper destination insight — all while maintaining the comfort Seabourn is known for.
Two Voyage Lengths to Choose From
Travelers can tailor the journey depending on how much time they want to commit.
Cruise options include:
- 120 days — Miami to Dover (London area)
- 112 days — Miami to Lisbon, with early disembarkation
This flexibility makes the world cruise more accessible for guests who want the experience without the full four months at sea.
Early Booking Savings Available
Guests who book early can take advantage of a limited incentive:
- Up to 10% savings
- Valid for bookings made before January 30, 2026
For a world cruise of this scale, that early-booking window could translate into significant savings.
A Special Sailing for Seabourn’s 40th Anniversary
The 2028 world cruise also kicks off Seabourn’s 40th anniversary year, adding extra meaning to the itinerary.
Mark Tamis, President of Seabourn, summed up the vision behind the voyage:
“As we celebrate 40 years of luxury, small-ship cruising, the 2028 Cape to Cape World Cruise showcases how luxury meets exploration at Seabourn — reaching off-the-beaten-path destinations while offering the ease, comfort, and warmth our guests cherish.”
Why This World Cruise Stands Out
What makes this sailing different isn’t just the distance — it’s the balance.
- True world cruise scale, not a shortened global loop
- Expedition elements woven into a luxury experience
- Rare destinations combined with Seabourn’s signature service
- A milestone voyage tied to the brand’s history
For travelers who want to explore the edges of the world without giving up comfort, Seabourn’s 2028 World Cruise may be one of the most compelling long-range cruise offerings on the horizon.
