en.Wedoany.com Reported - Seabourn's 2028-2029 winter Caribbean season is now open for booking. From December 28, 2028, to March 29, 2029, the brand's Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Quest will operate this season, offering a total of 10 voyages ranging from 7 to 12 days, with calls at yacht harbors and small ports inaccessible to large cruise ships.
The Caribbean itineraries are designed for small ships, allowing access to small ports such as St. Barts, which welcomes only one cruise ship per day, as well as Bequia and Little Bay in Montserrat. Selected destinations feature extended stays. The season spans 21 ports across 20 countries and island territories, with late departures in St. Martin, Antigua, Barbados, Aruba, and Curaçao. Seabourn Ovation will sail round-trip between Bridgetown, Barbados, and Philipsburg, St. Martin, while Seabourn Quest will operate round-trip voyages from Miami. Both ships offer all-ocean-view suites, personalized service, onboard dining, shore excursions, and complimentary premium spirits and fine wines.
Mark Tamis, President of Seabourn, stated that the Caribbean has always been one of the brand's most popular destinations. The new season's itineraries cover both iconic islands and lesser-known destinations, allowing guests to enjoy one-week voyages or combine multiple itineraries for longer vacations.
The winter season covers the Christmas and New Year holidays. Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Quest will host New Year's celebrations at Carambola Beach in St. Kitts; select 10-day voyages also feature a Christmas Eve event at Carambola Beach and Christmas Day activities at Jost Van Dyke. The brand's signature event, "Caviar in the Surf," will continue at Carambola Beach, featuring champagne, caviar, and a beach barbecue prepared by the ship's team.
The onboard experience continues the destination theme. Dining features local flavors and seasonal ingredients; "Seabourn Conversations" invites thinkers, cultural figures, and field experts aboard to host lectures and informal discussions throughout the voyage.
Seabourn Quest recently completed a dry dock upgrade, one of the most comprehensive interior renovations in Seabourn's history. The upgrade encompasses suites, public spaces, dining venues, and the spa, with renovated accommodations, redesigned social spaces, and updated wellness facilities designed to enhance the guest experience.
Shore excursions cover numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In Antigua, guests can visit Nelson's Dockyard, the only surviving Georgian-era naval dockyard in the world, before heading to Shirley Heights for views over English Harbour; in St. Kitts, itineraries include Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, a representative example of 17th- and 18th-century military architecture in the Caribbean, as well as Caribelle Batik at Romney Manor; in St. Lucia, guests can sail along the coast by catamaran to the Pitons, then visit the Sulphur Springs in the town of Soufrière; in Barbados, explore the historic district of Bridgetown and The Garrison; and in Curaçao, take a historic tram tour through the Punda and Otrobanda districts of Willemstad.
