Seabourn has announced its 120-day “Cape to Cape” World Cruise aboard the Seabourn Quest, scheduled to depart from Miami on January 7, 2028. This extensive voyage will cover five continents and over 50 destinations, with a significant portion of the itinerary focused on South Africa. The journey connects Cape Horn in South America to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, offering a blend of traditional luxury cruising and expedition-style exploration in remote regions.
A defining feature of this world cruise is the inclusion of an expanded 18-person expedition team. This specialist group will lead guests through complimentary expedition-style experiences in sensitive and remote environments, including Antarctica, Easter Island, and the Falkland Islands. Following these explorations, the ship will transition toward the African continent, making calls at five distinct South African coastal cities: Richards Bay, Durban, Gqeberha, Mossel Bay, and Cape Town.
The cruise is structured into several segments, or legs, allowing travelers flexibility in their points of embarkation and disembarkation. Four specific segments are designed to start or end in South Africa, covering various regions such as the West Coast of Africa, the South Atlantic Islands, and Western Europe. These legs include a 38-day journey from Cape Town to Dover and a 25-day passage from Buenos Aires to Cape Town that stops in Mozambique and St. Helena. By highlighting these diverse routes, Seabourn aims to showcase the unique cultural and natural landscapes of the Southern Hemisphere while maintaining its signature ultra-luxury service. The itinerary concludes with a northern transit through the Canary Islands, Morocco, and France, eventually arriving in the United Kingdom.
