Seabourn, the ultra‑luxury arm of Carnival Corporation, has announced a new 120‑day world cruise that will depart from Miami on January 7, 2028. The itinerary, named the Cape‑to‑Cape World Cruise, will take guests across five continents and more than 50 ports, including Antarctica, the Falkland Islands and the Cape of Good Hope.
The flagship vessel, Seabourn Quest, will be the platform for the voyage. Built in 2011, the 450‑guest ship will host an 18‑member expedition team that will provide complimentary, expedition‑style experiences throughout the journey. The cruise will also feature a 112‑day option that disembarks in Lisbon, offering flexibility for travelers who prefer a slightly shorter itinerary.
Pricing for the 120‑day cruise starts at $77,999 per person for double occupancy, while the 112‑day version begins at $72,799. Inclusions such as round‑trip business‑class air travel, a multi‑day “Seabourn Journey” to Machu Picchu, and onboard credits ranging from $6,000 to $10,000 add significant value and reinforce Seabourn’s pricing power in the luxury segment.
Seabourn’s 40th anniversary year adds a celebratory dimension to the launch. President Mark Tamis highlighted the blend of luxury and adventure, noting that the new world cruise “showcases how luxury meets exploration at Seabourn.” The offering is designed to attract high‑spending guests and drive onboard spending, aligning with Carnival’s broader strategy to deepen its premium portfolio and enhance revenue per available guest.
Early booking incentives are available for reservations made before January 30, 2026, with up to a 10% discount. This early‑bird pricing strategy is intended to secure high‑value bookings well in advance, a common practice in the luxury cruise market to lock in revenue and manage capacity for long‑duration itineraries.
Overall, the Cape‑to‑Cape World Cruise represents a strategic expansion of Seabourn’s expedition‑style offerings, positioning the brand to capture a growing segment of travelers seeking immersive, high‑end experiences while reinforcing Carnival’s focus on differentiated, premium itineraries.
