Seabourn Odyssey will sail "The Great Land" in ultra-luxury style and comfort through summer 2024 as she completes her final season with the fleet

SEATTLE, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Seabourn, the leader in ultra-luxury cruising and expedition travel, will kick off its 2024 Alaska season on May 10,2024 with Seabourn Odyssey departing from Vancouver for an enriching and in-depth schedule to some of the region's most popular destinations and rarely visited ports throughout the Inside Passage. The season will also mark Seabourn Odyssey's final season with the cruise line, providing one more opportunity for guests to sail on the iconic ship.

Seabourn Odyssey will sail on 12 seven-day voyages from May through August 2024, sailing northbound or southbound between Vancouver and Juneau, with different sites, scenes, adventures, and ports to experience each way. Each seven-day voyage can also be combined to create a longer, more immersive 14-day round-trip Vancouver voyage. The ship will also offer two 10-day Alaska Fjord Odyssey itineraries, as well as one 11-day Inside Passage & Alaska Fjords voyages, scheduled round trip from Vancouver in June. In addition, guests may choose from a number of immersive experiences through Seabourn's popular and unique Ventures by Seabourn program, featuring optional guided kayak and Zodiac tours led by the line's world-class expedition team. The ship will complete its final season with a 22-day Farewell Voyage, traveling through Alaska before crossing the Pacific to Japan.

"While Seabourn will continue sailing to Alaska in the future, this upcoming season marks the final journeys of Seabourn Odyssey to 'the Great Land,' and we invite our guests to embark on one final voyage with her before she departs our fleet," said Natalya Leahy, president of Seabourn. "As our very experienced Alaska Captain Tim Roberts shared with me once, 'you have not seen Alaska until you have sailed with Seabourn'. This is because our meticulously crafted itineraries will take our extraordinary guests on the ultimate retreat into nature with a blend of up-close adventures and ultra-luxury amenities to immerse themselves in the beauty of Alaska. The ship's intimate size and yacht-like atmosphere will grant them unparalleled intimacy with the land's vast wildlife and breathtaking wilderness."

• Seven-Day Alaska Itineraries – Each seven-day Alaska itinerary features days of pure cruising through jaw-dropping settings such as Seymour Narrows, Stikine Strait, Snow Pass and the Behm Canal, interspersed with landings at culturally significant towns from Ketchikan to Sitka to Wrangel, Alaska, and Prince Rupert and Alert Bay in British Columbia. Each sailing will include at least one scenic cruise of glaciers like Tracy or Endicott Arm or Glacier Bay.
• On the 10-Day Alaska Fjords Odyssey, guests travel roundtrip from Vancouver with multiple sea days through destinations such as Queen Charlotte Sound, Clarence Strait, Snow Pass, Sumner Strait, Misty Fjords and more, as well as visits to Ketchikan, Sitka, Icy Strait Point, Juneau, and the Tlingit village of Klawock on Prince of Wales Island.
