Launched in 2023, Seabourn Pursuit is the second of the line's ships that have been custom-built to sail on expedition voyages. With levels of luxury found on the fleet's other small ships, Seabourn Pursuit combines comfort with PC6 Polar Class standards, advanced technology and two submarines to transport up to 264 passengers on land, sea and underwater adventures to remote destinations.
Seabourn Pursuit is 23,000 gross tons and carries 1,200 passengers at double occupancy capacity.
Expedition-led public areas include the Discovery Centre, which is adjacent to the Expedition Lounge, and is the teaching and academic hub for natural history and cultural programming in an environment spacious enough to accommodate all passengers at one time. Each day the centre hosts lectures, briefings and enrichment programs. Audio-visual experiences come to life through large high-definition screens, including footage from the submarine voyages.
Taking expedition sailing to exciting new depths, Seabourn Pursuit carries two environmentally friendly, battery-powered submersibles. Each carries six passengers and the pilot on underwater expeditions to depths of 984 feet. The ship also has 24 Zodiacs -- enough to accommodate all passengers at the same time -- and double-seater sea kayaks. In warm weather destinations scuba diving and snorkelling are available. A 26-person expert expedition team of wilderness experts, scientists, historians and naturalists is on each cruise to lead excursions and activities.
The ship has seven dining venues, with The Restaurant dining room leading for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Colonnade offers a more casual alternative for buffet or table service breakfast and lunch, and themed dinner served tableside, including family-style menus by Michelin-starred Chef Thomas Keller. Other eateries comprise The Patio for al fresco lunch on fine days, Sushi in The Club, and Seabourn Square for specialty coffees, pastries, sandwiches, and snacks. Additionally, there is 24-hour in-suite dining, featuring dinner from The Restaurant menu served course by course.
Seabourn Pursuit features 132 all-veranda ocean-facing suites in nine categories, including suites spanning two decks which are a first for Seabourn. The pair of two-bedroom, two-bathroom Grand Wintergarden Suites feature double height windows and a telescope for wildlife spotting, large living and dining area, and a wet bar stocked with a customised selection of spirits including a bottle of Shackleton Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, which is based on the spirit supplied to the 1907 British Antarctic Expedition. These suites measure 1,397 square feet and include two balconies totalling 206 square feet. There are also Wintergarden Suites that measure 1,042 square feet with a veranda of 128 square feet, which include the same features as the Grand Wintergarden without the additional bedroom and full bathroom on the lower level.
