Guests looking for a winter escape can choose from an inspiring line-up of Caribbean and Asia itineraries aboard Seabourn Encore, Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Quest. These voyages blend luxury, discovery and cultural immersion with experiences designed to bring each destination to life.

In the Caribbean, Seabourn Ovation will operate a series of roundtrip Barbados sailings between seven and 14 days, visiting a mix of well-known islands and lesser-travelled yacht harbours. Guests can look forward to Seabourn's iconic Caviar in the Surf beach barbecue at Carambola Beach, St. Kitts, and optional excursions with the ship's Executive Chef to local markets in Bridgetown.

Voyages will also be available from San Juan and St Maarten, offering flexibility for those seeking a classic winter sun escape. Whether snorkelling off the shores of Antigua or enjoying a plantation tour in Martinique, these Caribbean cruises are crafted to delight.

Seabourn Quest, meanwhile, will sail longer Caribbean journeys from Miami, including festive holiday departures of up to 16 days. These leisurely itineraries explore the Leeward Islands in depth, from the coral-rich waters of Iles des Saintes to the dramatic granite boulders of Virgin Gorda’s famed Baths and the yachting havens of Jost van Dyke and Tortola.

In Asia, Seabourn Encore will return with a collection of curated 14-day itineraries featuring overnight stays in major cities such as Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok. From the temples of Thailand to the vibrant street life of Vietnam, these itineraries combine iconic sights with access to lesser-visited locales. Seabourn Encore will also visit Ko Kood, Thailand, where guests will enjoy Seabourn’s classic Caviar in the Surf.

New for this season is a series of Japan-focused cruises timed for the Plum Blossom and Cherry Blossom seasons. These culturally rich itineraries include visits to historic cities such as Kanazawa, Hakodate and Kagoshima, where guests can explore samurai districts, gardens and traditional markets. The line's popular Shopping with the Chef experience will also return, offering culinary enthusiasts a chance to explore local food scenes in cities like Penang, Ho Chi Minh City and Nagasaki.

In April, the cruise sails into the Asia-Pacific region, with calls in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Sea, and the islands of Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Fiji. After visiting Samoa and crossing the Pacific once more, the ship reaches Hawaii and the West Coast of the USA, before continuing to Mexico, Central America and a second transit of the Panama Canal. The voyage concludes in Miami on 30 May 2027, after an immersive exploration of Cartagena’s colonial past.
