EXPEDITION EXPERIENCES

Seabourn Venture and her sister ship, Seabourn Pursuit, will offer inclusive expedition experiences,
such as nature walks and hikes, snorkeling, scuba diving, and Zodiac cruising. In addition, the
®
ships will offer a wide range of included shore excursions at nearly every destination the ships
visit. Guests will have ample opportunities to get the most from explorations of spectacular
destinations on exhilarating sea-level adventures, from cruising picturesque fjords and waterways
to exploring scenic islands, and viewing and learning about birds, seals, whales, and other wildlife.
In addition to complimentary excursions, the ships will also offer optional shore excursions and
optional expeditions with kayaking and two custom-built submarines at select destinations.

ZODIACS & KAYAKS
Zodiac boats are the workhorses of our expeditions. These amazing watercrafts revolutionized
cruising to extraordinary destinations. They are our means for landing on trackless beaches, desert
isles, and far-flung icy shores where no docks or other facilities exist. They are magic carpets that
carry us on scenic passages up towering fjords, past breaching whales and stately icebergs, and on
forays into jungle-draped channels bright with nesting birds. They deliver us to untouched coral
reefs, bobbing patiently as we snorkel or dive to our heart’s content. Our fleet of 24 Zodiacs can all
gather beside the water-level shell doors on either side of Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit,
allowing us the option to take all guests on a complimentary Zodiac tour at once.

48
48 Double sea kayaks glide silently along shorelines, moving with silken grace as we approach animals
at eye level, finding them curious and unafraid. Noiseless kayaks allow us to enjoy the snaps of brash
LUXURY EXPEDITIONS ALL-INCLUSIVE DIFFERENCE through old-growth forest. We can navigate tangled mangrove thickets teeming with life above and
ice in a glacier’s meltwater, the musical sound of a waterfall, and the ceaseless breath of breeze

below the water, and slide over multicolored tropical coral gardens. Led by an expert member of
our Expedition Team, these excursions offer an appealing option available for an additional charge.

SNORKEL & SCUBA GEAR
Snorkeling and scuba gear will open your eyes to the colorful underwater world in warm-water
destinations. An array of masks, snorkels, and fins assures everyone a good fit. Expedition Team
members can help beginners get started and show you the best snorkeling spots. Scuba divers
with an advanced or higher qualification will have the complimentary opportunity to go diving in
select locations around the world. All dives will be led by a qualified divemaster, and tanks and
weight belts will be provided.
SUBMARINES

Two six-person submarines offer unique and unforgettable undersea experiences to Seabourn
Venture and Seabourn Pursuit guests. Operated by experienced and licensed Expedition Team
submarine pilots, these engineering marvels are capable of transporting guests beneath the
surface, offering breathtaking views like surreal subsea realms beneath Antarctic waters, plunging
underwater cliffs in fjords, or reef walls teeming with life in clear, tropical seas. These exceptionally
rare experiences are available for an additional charge and are operated in select destinations.
