What Travelers Say About Seabourn Pursuit
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Seabourn Pursuit sailing. Based on 250 discussions.
Seabourn Pursuit, launched in 2023 as the sister to Seabourn Venture, is Seabourn's purpose-built ultra-luxury expedition ship, and it stands out by pairing genuine polar-capable adventure with the pampering of a high-end small-ship cruise. Carrying up to 264 guests in all-suite, veranda accommodations, it sails bucket-list expedition routes - Antarctica, the Australian Kimberley, Chilean fjords and the South Pacific - while keeping the caviar-on-demand, all-inclusive, white-glove Seabourn vibe. Reviewers consistently describe a polished, comfortable atmosphere where a deep expedition team and a near one-to-one crew ratio do the heavy lifting.
What People Love
- Genuinely ultra-luxury take on expedition cruising - all-suite accommodations with verandas, marble baths and high-end finishes far above typical expedition ships
- Near one-to-one crew-to-guest ratio (around 238 crew for 264 max guests) delivers intuitive, personalized service that reviewers repeatedly call a highlight
- Outstanding 24-to-26-member expedition team of geologists, marine biologists and ornithologists leading Zodiac landings and well-regarded onboard lectures
Common Complaints
- The signature submarines were withdrawn fleet-wide in early 2026, so the underwater-exploration feature heavily marketed at launch is no longer available
- At up to 264 guests it is large for an expedition ship versus rivals like Ponant and Lindblad (roughly 126-184), meaning bigger groups and fewer intimate wildlife encounters
- Multiple reviewers feel the cuisine, while high-end, is safe and underwhelming and that the Colonnade lags rivals like Regent, Silversea, Viking and Oceania
