Construction for Seabourn Pursuit began in fall 2020 during a ceremony in San Giorgo di Nogare, Italy, and the ship delivery was in February 2023, with its sister ship, Seabourn Venture, delivered in March 2022.

Seabourn Pursuit is the second in its class of Seabourn expedition ships. Both Seabourn Pursuit and sister ship Seabourn Venture are designed and built for diverse environments to PC6 Polar Class standards and include modern hardware and technology that extend the ships’ global deployment and capabilities. Each Expedition ship carries two custom-built submarines, 24 Zodiacs, kayaks, and a 26-person expert expedition team whose role is to engage, guide and inform guests throughout each voyage. 

The Seabourn Expedition ships continue onward by exploring the waters and landscapes of Greenland, Iceland and Norway throughout the spring and early summer, in some instances retracing the path of the Vikings to the frontier town of Tromso while carving their way through the inside passage of the Norwegian fjords along the way. An annual highlight in the Seabourn Expedition calendar is the Northwest Passage journey through some of the most remote areas in the Northern Hemisphere from Kangerlussuaq, Greenland to Nome, Alaska. Itineraries for the Seabourn Pursuit Seabourn Pursuit spends her winter season travelling the remote South Pacific, Indonesia and Australia’s beautiful Kimberley region.
