Seabourn has revealed details of its first-ever 94-day pole-to-pole Grand Expedition voyage aboard the purpose-built Seabourn Venture.
The Pole to Pole: Grand Expedition will depart on Aug. 17 and conclude on Nov. 19, 2027, spanning more than 20,500 nautical miles from the High Arctic to Antarctica, and featuring remote landings, immersive expeditions, rare wildlife sightings and more.
The 94-day voyage will begin with an overnight stay in Reykjavik, Iceland, followed by a charter flight to Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, where guests will embark the ship. Over the course of the sailing, Seabourn Venture will offer 60 days of expedition experiences and visits to destinations across 14 countries and territories, including five days in Antarctica, three in South Georgia, and three in the Falkland Islands, as well as six days in the Northwest Passage and a new three-day experience to the remote and rarely-visited Ellesmere Island in the Arctic Archipelago.
Further highlights will include 33 sea days; and crossings of the equator, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. Between the poles, guests will also explore tropical islands and coastal regions across the Caribbean and South America. The sailing concludes in Ushuaia, Argentina, with a post-cruise charter flight to Buenos Aires.
