Seabourn Cruise Line sails to Asia for 2024/2025 season

Luxury cruise and expedition services provider Seabourn revealed its range of Asia itineraries for the late-2024 / early-2025 seasons.

Beginning December 2024 and well into March 2025, Seabourn Encore and Seabourn Quest set sail for a series of captivating voyages across Southeast Asia and Japan. These enable passengers to visit diverse regions, immersing them into the vibrant cultures of different Asian destinations.

Seabourn Encore begins the season with seven sailings between Singapore and Hong Kong. It then moves on to Japan, and finishes with a transpacific crossing, marking her first-ever visit to the United States. 

On the other hand, Seabourn Quest sails to Japan during the cherry blossom season in spring and returns in the fall to showcase the country’s autumn landscapes and will visit new destinations such as Akita and Wakayama, Japan.

Seabourn president Natalya Leahy said of these Asian routes: “With its diverse beauty, rich culture, and deep history, our ultra-luxury cruises to Asia continue to be a favorite among our guests. To meet the growing demand, we’ve enhanced our itineraries this season and are offering many exciting voyages throughout Asia to new, hidden gems across the region, ensuring even more exceptional experiences for our guests.”

An immersive sojourn

Seabourn Encore’s winter 2024 and spring 2025 season will allow guests to immerse themselves in the diverse landscapes, cultures, and histories of Southeast Asia in Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and the Philippines. 

From December 2024 to March 2025, Seabourn Encore will start its season of seven voyages between Singapore and Hong Kong, China. With both 13-day and 14-day options, each itinerary will include unforgettable moments such as the line’s signature Caviar in the Surf experience in Koh Kood, Thailand, and overnights in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Departing March 2, 2025, Seabourn Encore will offer a 14-day Southeast Asia & Japan voyage from Singapore to Kobe, Japan, featuring a new port of call never before visited by the Seabourn fleet – Tokushima, Japan. The itinerary will also feature an overnight in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and maiden calls for Seabourn Encore to Kochi, Japan and Kobe, Japan.

The ship will finish its season with a 25-day Japan & Hawaiian Islands Pacific Crossing from Kobe, Japan to Long Beach, California, featuring a maiden call to Wakayama, Japan and the ship’s first ever visit to the United States. The sailing will also include a selection of sea days with bespoke, curated onboard entertainment programs, featuring a star-studded line-up of performers and guest speakers. Additional details will be announced soon.

Combining voyages for comprehensive exploration

Setting sail from March through April 2025, Seabourn Quest’s 2025 Spring Asia itineraries range from 14 to 34 days with options to combine voyages for a truly comprehensive exploration of Asia. Guests will explore the northernmost and southernmost islands of Japan, immersing themselves in the nation’s geography, history, and beauty at the height of cherry blossom season.

Seabourn will also offer a “Pacific Passage: Golden Week to Glacier Bay” 20-day voyage departing in April 2025. The best of both worlds, this itinerary will immerse guests in the vibrant cultural festivities of “Golden Week” in Japan, where they’ll witness the breathtaking beauty of cherry blossoms in full bloom, before heading to Alaska during the less-crowded early season to enjoy the stunning scenery and abundant wildlife.
