Enjoy 2 days crossing the Drake Passengers and then 5 days exploring the Antarctica Peninsula. Actual destinations in the Peninsula depends on weather.
$9,999 Balcony Suites
$9,999 Balcony SuitesWhat is most compelling about Seabourn is that the cruise ships are quite luxurious. The Seabourn Venture maiden voyage was in Summer of 2022. It’s sister ship, the Pursuit, will launch in the Fall of 2023, just in time for these new sailings. The new Polar Class 5 ship was built for luxury polar expeditions –unlike the older ships that have been refurbished utilized by most of the competition. Silverseas expeditions watch out, Seabourn offers a ship built specifically for Antarctica. Also, EVERY room on Seabourn is a Verandah Suite.
For $9,999 per person, you get a Verandah V1 suite on the Seabourn Pursuit. These suites are 355 sq. ft. (33 sq. m.) and include a 75 sq. ft. (7 sq. m.) private balcony.

Unlike other cruise lines, I’m looking at you Hurtriguten, Seabourn includes nearly everything in the cost. On Seabourn there are only a few extra costs. For example, there are only two excursions which are not complimentary. You can include an Antarctica submarine excursion exploring the depths of the Weddell Sea in an all-electric sub. Or consider Kayaking in Antarctica on a guided Antarctica Kayak adventure. Otherwise, enjoy the multiple daily complimentary Antarctic excursions.
Seabourn Expedition Ship
The Seabourn Venture & Pursuit accommodate only 264 passengers. Each room has an exterior balcony and the ship also has several dining rooms, bars, hot tubs, as well as a large heated pool and a sauna. Take a look at the ship, it is stunning!

Bottom Line
I absolutely love sailing Seabourn. I’ve written about Seabourn’s Antarctica deals several times. Providing additional information about the Zodiac tours and naturists onboard. Seabourn’s expeditions is taking on Lindblad, Ponant, and other major expedition operators while upping the luxury game. Seabourn Ventures will not be outdone and now is your chance to book your expedition at some of the lowest prices seen yet. Best yet, these sailings do not require full payment until Summer of 2023. Other deals we’ve seen at this price point required you to pay in full. Yet now, Seabourn is bringing you the best prices to Antarctica without that hurdle.
December is an amazing time to visit Antarctica. Whale migrations begin and Seal Pups are abundant. Penguins are everywhere, days are long, and the weather is warm. Do not miss this opportunity. Book your $9999 expedition today!
