Seabourn unveils 54-voyage Ruby Collection for its 40th anniversary - Get updated on what's happening in tourism!

Seabourn has launched The Ruby Collection, a series of 54 ocean and expedition voyages celebrating the cruise line's 40th anniversary in 2028. Now open for booking, the programme covers destinations across the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Alaska, Northern Europe, the Arctic, Antarctica, Southeast Asia and Japan, combining new itineraries, exclusive experiences and enhanced onboard celebrations.

The collection includes sailings ranging from seven-day yacht-style cruises to two landmark long voyages: the 120-day Cape to Cape World Cruise and the 96-day Grand Expedition: Pole to Pole.

Anniversary voyages highlight new destinations

The Ruby Collection introduces several new ports and experiences, including calls at Taichung and Tainan in Taiwan, Petersburg and Valdez in Alaska, Tvøroyri in the Faroe Islands and Cape Clear Island in Ireland.

Guests will also be able to experience seasonal highlights such as Taiwan's Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival, an eight-day Denali land programme in Alaska and Seabourn's return to the historic Canadian port of Red Bay.

"Some journeys stay with travelers forever," said Mark Tamis, President of Seabourn. "As we celebrate 40 years of exploration, that same pioneering spirit shapes The Ruby Collection, featuring voyages across our ocean and expedition fleet that reflect where we began while pushing further into the places and experiences that define what exploration means with Seabourn."

Signature experiences return across the fleet

The collection revives Seabourn's Yachtsman Collection, focusing on smaller Mediterranean and Caribbean ports accessible to luxury small ships. Guests can enjoy overnight stays, marina days, local culinary experiences and signature events such as Caviar in the Surf.

On expedition voyages, Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit will explore the Arctic, Greenland, Antarctica and the South Atlantic with Zodiac excursions, wildlife encounters and landings in remote destinations.

World Cruise and Pole-to-Pole expedition

The centrepiece of the anniversary programme is the 120-day Cape to Cape World Cruise, departing on 7 January 2028. Sailing aboard Seabourn Quest, the voyage visits 58 destinations in 23 countries across five continents and, for the first time, includes complimentary expedition-style experiences in Antarctica and the Chilean Fjords.

Later in the year, Seabourn Venture will operate the 96-day Grand Expedition: Pole to Pole, connecting the High Arctic with Antarctica through 14 countries and territories.

Throughout 2028, every Seabourn sailing will feature special Ruby Jubilee celebrations, while the Ruby Collection voyages will include additional exclusive events marking the cruise line's 40th anniversary.
