Seabourn Guests Help Make History on a Record-Setting Antarctic Voyage
On the current 12-Day Antarctica Exploration voyage (January 28th to February 9th) aboard Seabourn Venture, guests didn’t just witness Antarctica, they helped set new polar records for Seabourn and the wider Carnival Corporation fleet.
During this sailing, Seabourn Venture:
◉ Became the most southerly ship on the Antarctic Peninsula at the time while crossing the Antarctic Circle
◉ Reached 70° South, the most southerly point in Seabourn and Carnival Corporation history
◉ Completed Seabourn’s first-ever exploration of George VI Sound, venturing well beyond the peninsula’s more familiar routes
◉ Landed guests directly onto Antarctic Sea ice at approximately 69.5° South for a Champagne toast at the most southerly point any Seabourn guest has ever stood
◉ Brought guests ashore at historic Base E on Stonington Island, a rarely visited former British research station offering a tangible link to mid-20th-century Antarctic exploration
◉ Led by Captain Simon Bishop and Expedition Leader Luqui Bernacchi, the voyage blended serious exploration with once-in-a-lifetime moments, including Zodiac landings at the edge of the ice, expert interpretation from a world-class expedition team, and the unforgettable experience of standing on Antarctic Sea ice near the bottom of the world while knowing you’ve just helped set a company record.
