Seabourn has announced updated restart dates for its fleet, including departures up to spring 2022.
The restart is planned as follows:
- Seabourn Ovation – 03JUL 2021, departing from Athens, Greece to operate in the Greek Isles
- Seabourn Odyssey – 18JUL 2021, departing from Bridgetown, Barbados to operate in the Southern Caribbean
- Seabourn Quest – 07NOV 2021, departing from Miami to begin the Antarctica season (previously announced)
- Seabourn Sojourn – 11JAN 2022, departing from Los Angeles to begin the World Cruise
- Seabourn Encore – 17APR 2022, departing from Athens, Greece
“We continue to assess the overall global situation so we can make thoughtful, logical decisions about when each of our ships will restart,” said Josh Leibowitz, president of Seabourn. “We know guests are beginning to restart travel on some level in their personal lives and we look forward to seeing them again as soon as possible, starting as early as this summer in Greece and the Southern Caribbean.”
The line has also announced that Seabourn Encore and Seabourn Ovation will not sail in Asia, Arabia or Australia for the 2021-2022 fall or winter/spring seasons due to travel restrictions in those regions. The cruise line is cancelling select departures on those two ships between 01SEP 2021 and 26APR 2022.
Instead, Seabourn Ovation will now sail voyages originally scheduled to operate on Seabourn Sojourn from 09OCT - 21DEC 2021. In 2022, the ship will operate 12 new sailings in Caribbean/Panama Canal and Europe from JAN through MAY before resuming its originally planned deployment in the Western Mediterranean.
These new bookings will open 08JUL 2021 and will be the first time Seabourn Ovation will call on the United States.
Guests and travel advisors with impacted bookings will receive information on rebooking, alternative sailing date options, opportunities for bonus future cruise credits or full refunds. Specific offers and details vary by itinerary. Seabourn asks guests and travel advisors to use the online resources available on its website first rather than calling the Reservation Call Center for information about the cancellations due to the possibility of high call volumes and the potential of long on-hold wait times.
Upcoming summer 2021 voyages on Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Odyssey are open to guests who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The line also expects their crew to be fully vaccinated, and will continue to update and finalize their COVID-19 vaccination requirements for sailings as start dates approach.
