Seabourn to exit Kimberley cruises after 2027 as Arctic demand reshapes deployment
Seabourn will cease sailing in Western Australia’s Kimberley region after the 2027 season, redeploying its expedition vessel to Arctic and European itineraries in response to growing demand for polar voyages, the luxury cruise line said.
The company, part of Carnival Corporation, only entered the Kimberley market in 2024 with the purpose-built expedition ship Seabourn Pursuit. The vessel is scheduled to operate in the region for four seasons before shifting to higher-latitude routes from 2028.
“Seabourn is seeing strong and sustained guest demand for Arctic expedition voyages, driven by interest in polar exploration, wildlife, and immersive experiences in remote destinations,” a company spokesperson said.
