Discover paradise with Seabourn’s Caribbean & Southeast Asia voyages

Caribbean allure with Seabourn

Seabourn’s Caribbean sailings are a gateway to a realm of hidden coves, historical landmarks, and pristine beaches. Setting sail from Barbados, these itineraries feature hand-picked ports of call that blend island culture with tranquil retreats unknown to larger cruise lines. Highlights include crystal-clear waters ideal for water sports during the iconic Marina Days®, sophisticated onboard dining inspired by local flavours, and the much-loved ‘Caviar in the Surf®’ beach party.

One standout voyage is the 14-day ‘Caribbean Gems in Depth’ sailing. This itinerary weaves through some of the Caribbean’s most enchanting destinations. Begin your adventure in Philipsburg, St Maarten, and effortlessly hop between Frenchman’s Cay, the private beaches of St Kitts, and the shores of Martinique. Experience the untouched charm of Montserrat's Little Bay, see the colonial history of Antigua, and anchor at Great Harbour on Jost Van Dyke for a true yacht-like escape. The voyage finishes back at Bridgetown via Castries, allowing plenty of time to admire Saint Lucia’s legendary Pitons and lush landscapes.

Southeast Asia’s hidden wonders

Across the globe, Seabourn’s voyages in Southeast Asia promise an intoxicating blend of natural beauty and timeless tradition. Sailing from hubs like Singapore and Hong Kong, these itineraries balance exploration and luxury with stops at exquisite palaces, sacred temples, busy marketplaces, and idyllic beaches. Guests can look forward to regionally inspired cuisine, exclusive shore excursions like ‘Shopping with the Chef’.

A particular highlight is the 14-day ‘Sea of Japan & Plum Blossoms’ itinerary. This voyage begins and ends in Tokyo and the timing perfectly coincides with plum blossom season, an enchanting period between February and early March when Japan’s gardens and parks are awash in hues of pink and white. Often seen as a prelude to the famous cherry blossoms, plum blossoms hold their own charm and are deeply significant to Japanese culture, symbolising resilience and hope.

The overnight in Kanazawa, one of Japan’s most beautiful cities during this season, offers the perfect opportunity to explore traditional tea gardens adorned with these delicate flowers. Beyond the floral splendour, the itinerary also includes visits to South Korea’s Busan, known for its seafood markets, and picturesque Japanese coastal towns like Niigata and Aomori.

Experience the Seabourn difference

What sets Seabourn apart isn’t just the destinations they visit, but the way these journeys are crafted. With all-suite ships designed to feel like exclusive yachts, impeccable service from a dedicated crew, and unexpected indulgences—including complimentary caviar and premium spirits served throughout your voyage—every experience feels curated just for you. Whether you’re basking under Caribbean sunshine or exploring the tranquil temples of Southeast Asia, Seabourn’s passion for personalised travel ensures your dreams are not just met but exceeded.

Why the Douro should be your next river cruise

24 July 2026

River cruising has a wonderful way of slowing the pace of travel, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in a destination rather than simply passing through it. That couldn't have been more true for our Head Office colleague, Janet Whitingham, who recently returned from Riviera Travel's ‘Highlights of the Douro Valley & Salamanca’ itinerary on board MS Riviera Rose. Sailing through one of Europe's oldest wine regions, Janet discovered a journey that combines spectacular scenery, charming riverside towns, exceptional food and wine, and fascinating history - all while unpacking only once.
