Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Quest Caribbean routes
Seabourn Ovation will operate voyages between Bridgetown, Barbados, and Philipsburg, Sint Maarten, while Seabourn Quest will sail round-trip itineraries from Miami.
“The Caribbean remains one of our most sought-after regions, and we’re delighted to return with a collection of thoughtfully designed voyages that showcase both iconic islands and lesser-known gems,” said Mark Tamis, President of Seabourn. “Whether guests are joining us for a week or combining itineraries for a longer escape, they’ll experience the personalised service, extraordinary cuisine and immersive destination experiences that define Seabourn.”
The ships will call at a range of Caribbean destinations, including St. Barts, where the release states that only one cruise ship is welcomed each day. The season also includes port‑rich Southern Caribbean itineraries.
Caviar in the Surf and holiday sailings
Seabourn’s “Caviar in the Surf” experience will take place at Carambola Beach in St. Kitts, with Champagne, caviar and a beach barbecue served by the onboard team.
Both Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Quest will feature New Year’s Day celebrations at Carambola Beach. Selected 10-day holiday voyages will also include Christmas Eve at Carambola Beach and Christmas Day in Jost Van Dyke.
On board, destination-inspired dining will incorporate regional flavours and seasonal ingredients. The Seabourn Conversations programme will feature speakers, cultural voices and subject specialists through presentations and informal discussions during voyages.
Guests sailing on Seabourn Quest will also experience the ship following its recently completed drydock, one of the most comprehensive interior updates in Seabourn’s history. Updates were made to suites, public spaces, dining venues and the spa, with refreshed accommodation, redesigned social areas and updated wellness facilities.
