The luxury small ship cruise line, Seabourn, have revealed an exciting new range of mini-expedition tours. The expedition tours will be available on the Seabourn Quest this European summer.
The Seabourn Quest expeditions are an enhancement of the existing Ventures by Seabourn program and will enable small groups of guests to embark on one of a kind experiences with expert guides in the Fjords of northern Europe.
Guests can explore the waterways from Zodiac.
Guests will explore stunning waterways, secluded inlets and scenic islands from Zodiac inflatable boats or double sea kayaks. These will be launched from the iconic fold-out water sports marina onboard the Seabourn Quest.
The Seabourn Quest expeditions are, of course, optional and they will be led by an expert team of scientists, scholars and naturalists with a maximum guide-to-guest ratio of 1:14.
Puffins, guillemots and fjords all included!
Guests travelling onboard Seabourn Quest during its northern Europe season will be offered more than 30 Ventures by Seabourn excursions this year, including:
- Puffins, Eidorers and Guillemots on Vigur Island – Discover Iceland’s small island of Vigur, home to a harmonious gathering of thousands of birds, a beautiful landscape and Europe’s smallest post office.
- Fjord Journey through Prins Christian Sund – Experience the dramatic high mountain faces and scoured rock massifs by Zodiac, while looking for icebergs and waterfalls engorged by meltwater.
- Extensive Fjord Exploration to Trollfjord – Join the resident naturalist on a Zodiac to explore the sheltered fjords of Norway and the Lofoten Islands, discovering flora and fauna while watching for moose.
According to Seabourn Senior Vice President of Global Marketing and Sales, John Delaney, the new expeditions build on the successes of those in the Antarctic. “Our Northern Europe guests will have access to intimate and exclusive new ways to see this stunning landscape”, he told CruiseOyster.
