Luxury cruising and expedition travel innovator Seabourn announced the 2028 Cape to Cape World Cruise, a voyage aboard the Seabourn Quest that will take travelers over 26,000 nautical miles, explore five continents and more than 50 destinations, and introduce the first complimentary expedition-style experiences ever offered on a Seabourn world cruise.
Departing from Miami in 2028, Seabourn Quest will guide guests to cultural and natural wonders between two capes: Cape Horn in South America and Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. On its journey, the ship will also visit well-known and remote destinations, including Antarctica and Easter Island. As an alternative to the 120-day voyage from Miami to Dover, guests can opt for a shorter 112-day voyage with early disembarkation in Lisbon.
