This Bonkers 138-Day World Cruise Will Take You to Easter Island, Sri Lanka, and More

Seabourn has your 2029 plans sorted. The luxury cruise liner has just unveiled its bonkers 138-day journey that’ll take you to some of the most coveted island destinations around the world, with plenty of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, remote isles, to be seen along the way—and Robb Report got an exclusive first look at the itinerary. In total, you’ll be traversing 58 hot spots across 31 countries and territories, a one-of-a-kind adventure that covers more than 32,000 nautical miles all in. You can channel your inner Jules Verne starting in January 2029, when the Seabourn globe-trotting extravaganza will begin in Miami. From there, you’ll hit the seas on your way to locales in the Americas, the South Pacific, New Zealand, Australia, Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean, Africa, and Europe. That includes more than 25 UNESCO World Heritage sites, such as Easter Island, Zanzibar’s Stone Town, New Zealand’s Fiordland National Park, and the Sacred City of Kandy in Sri Lanka. And Seabourn has paired famed spots like Bora Bora and Cape Town alongside lesser-known locales, including Praslin in the Seychelles (known for its white-sand beaches and towering Coco de Mar palm trees), Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas Islands (with plenty of rugged terrain to explore), and the vibrant port city of Antsiranana in Madagascar. Stops include jaunts in Madagascar, Easter Island, and more. Seabourn To get even more familiar with these destinations, the itinerary will also include extended stays in cities like Cartagena, Melbourne, Portland, and Victoria to explore at a more leisurely pace. As for the eight overnight calls, those will take place in locations such as Lima, Singapore, Bali, and more. You can even use these stops as a launch point to nearby locales, too, like visits to the Galápagos Islands, Machu Picchu, and African safaris. Your home base through it all will be the Seabourn Quest. The 650-foot luxury liner, which has accommodations for just 458 guests (with oceanfront suites up for grabs), will have plenty for you to do onboard while you’re setting sail. Activities will be based on the very locations you’re heading to, whether it be culinary events, cultural performances, and more entertainment. And thanks to Seabourn ship’s size, you can navigate waters beyond those regularly cruised by larger vessels. A view of Seabourn Quest Seabourn “Our 2029 World Cruise exemplifies the type of extraordinary travel experiences that define Seabourn,” Mark Tamis, Seabourn’s president, said in a press statement. “This voyage combines globally celebrated destinations with some of the world’s most remote and fascinating places, creating opportunities for deeper discovery and meaningful cultural connection. From exclusive shoreside events and immersive experiences to the personalized service and intimacy that set Seabourn apart, every element of this journey has been thoughtfully designed to inspire and enrich our guests.” And if you can’t commit to a full 138-day adventure, never fear. Seabourn is also offering up the chance to hop onboard for parts of the overall journey around the world in extended voyages—though there will be some perks limited just to those booking the entire World Cruise package.
