Seabourn unveils new Northwest Passage sailings for 2026

Seabourn has unveiled its 2026 itineraries to the Northwest Passage and Canadian Arctic, giving guests the chance to explore some of the world’s most historic destinations and storied waterways.

Between August and October 2026, Seabourn Venture will offer six voyages ranging from eight to 24 days, traversing the historic routes of The Northwest Passage and Canadian Arctic before sailing south to explore the Caribbean, South America and Antarctica.

“The Northwest Passage is one of the most famous and historic routes in the Arctic, and we are excited to give travelers an opportunity to explore this region with Seabourn,” said Mark Tamis, president of Seabourn. “Guests will admire towering icebergs, encounter unique wildlife found nowhere else, and immerse themselves in the stories of the daring expeditions that paved the way—all while enjoying Seabourn Venture’s ultra-luxury comforts and services.”

Northwest Passage experiences

Seabourn Venture will offer two “24-day Journey Across the Northwest Passage” expeditions between Reykjavik, Iceland and Anchorage, Alaska, departing on Aug. 5 and Aug, 29, as well as one “15-day Wild Labrador Coast: Missions, Fjords & Wilderness” departing Sept. 20 from Reykjavik to Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Additionally, two combination cruises are available for a longer, more immersive experience: a “35-day Glaciers, Fjords & Northwest Passage” voyage from Reykjavik to Anchorage and a “38-day Northwest Passage & Wild Labrador Coast” itinerary from Anchorage to Halifax.

Whether guests choose to sail eastbound or westbound, the expedition voyages will provide the same unforgettable opportunity to visit remote Arctic outposts and explore the historic Northwest Passage.

Optional experiences

Optional expedition experiences will also be available, including kayaking, submarine dives, and unique shore experiences like the Ilulissat Helicopter Adventure, a cruise to the abandoned settlement of Assaqutaq, or an Icefjord Cruise.

Guests can also participate in the optional Image Masters program, a hands-on photography experience offering in-the-field instruction on photo composition, camera techniques, editing, and retouching, all led by an accomplished nature photographer. Small groups of only 10 guests will participate in this exclusive, four-day workshop.

The program provides personalized, in-depth guidance, allowing participants to refine their skills while capturing the breathtaking landscapes of the Northwest Passage.

All sailings feature exclusive amenities such as inclusive economy air from guests’ departure city and complimentary full-service laundry.

The expedition voyages are now on sale, with dates and full itinerary details available at www.seabourn.com.
