A legendary ship embarks on a new voyage
Discerning travellers and cruise connoisseurs, take note: Seabourn, the epitome of ultra-luxury ocean travel, is marking a momentous milestone with the sale of the beloved Seabourn Sojourn to Mitsui Ocean Cruises, effective May 2026.
The legacy of excellence
For 16 remarkable years, Seabourn Sojourn has been more than just a ship – she’s been a floating sanctuary of refined elegance, carrying sophisticated cruisers to over 500 destinations across seven continents.
Her final sailings under Seabourn’s banner will culminate with a world cruise ending on 15 May 2026. That 129-day “Ring Of Fire” voyage will take guests on an unrivalled journey of discovery to idyllic Bora Bora, the enchanting west-coast of Australia and exotic Asian locales. It will conclude with a spectacular sailing up Alaska’s inside passage.
A fleet reimagined
The sale of Seabourn Sojourn echoes that of Seabourn Odyssey in 2023, also to Mitsui Ocean Cruises. That sale involved the vessel being chartered back for a period of time. Now, Seabourn Sojourn will also be chartered back from Mitsui Ocean Cruises and continue to operate all its published voyages.
With this transition, Seabourn will have one of the youngest and most modern fleets in the business, perfectly suited to offer the private yacht-like experience that makes us one of the world’s most popular choices in ultra-luxury cruising.
Mark Tamis, President of Seabourn.
