In this article

In celebration of 40 years of ultra-luxury cruising, Seabourn has announced one of its most ambitious voyages to date, the 2028 Cape to Cape World Cruise aboard the award-winning Seabourn Quest.

This remarkable 120-day world cruise promises an extraordinary journey across five continents, blending Seabourn’s signature elegance with immersive expedition-style experiences — a first for a Seabourn World Cruise.

From Cape Horn to the Cape of Good Hope

Departing Miami on 7 January 2028, the voyage spans more than 26,000 nautical miles and explores over 50 destinations between two legendary landmarks: Cape Horn in South America and the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa — a particularly exciting highlight for South African travellers.

Along the way, guests will discover a captivating mix of iconic ports and remote destinations, including Antarctica, the Chilean Fjords, Easter Island, the Falkland Islands, and select islands in the South Atlantic and Pacific. The journey also retraces Seabourn’s origins with a transit through the Panama Canal, marking the start of the line’s 40th anniversary celebrations.

A World Cruise First: Complimentary Expedition Experiences

For the first time on a Seabourn World Cruise, guests will enjoy complimentary expedition-style experiences, led by an expanded 18-member expert expedition team. These immersive adventures are offered in destinations such as Antarctica and the Chilean Fjords, allowing guests to experience pristine environments up close — without compromising on comfort or luxury.

Expedition highlights include:

  • Zodiac cruising and guided hikes (included)
  • Optional kayaking adventures
  • Expert insights into wildlife, landscapes, and ecosystems
  • Celebration of 15 years of Seabourn exploration in Antarctica

As Seabourn President Mark Tamis explains:

“This voyage showcases how luxury meets exploration at Seabourn — reaching off-the-beaten-path destinations while offering the ease, comfort, and warmth our guests cherish.”

Rare Destinations and UNESCO Wonders

The Cape to Cape World Cruise features an impressive number of maiden calls for Seabourn’s ocean fleet, offering fresh perspectives on rarely visited destinations, including:

  • Robinson Crusoe Island and Santa Clara Island (South Pacific)
  • Nightingale Island (South Atlantic)
  • Garibaldi Glacier (Chile)

In total, the voyage visits more than 38 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, making it both culturally enriching and visually spectacular.

Two Itinerary Options

Guests can choose between:

  • 120-day voyage from Miami to Dover (London), or
  • 112-day voyage with early disembarkation in Lisbon

Both options deliver the same meticulously curated experiences, seamless service, and exceptional value.
