Seabourn reveals shore excursions, Asia itineraries for 2024/2025

Seabourn is offering an extraordinary line-up of Asia itineraries for the late 2024 and 2025 cruise seasons.

From December 2024 to March 2025, and again in November 2025, Seabourn Encore and Seabourn Quest will embark on a series of captivating voyages across Southeast Asia and Japan, visiting diverse regions, from the vibrant cultures of Vietnam and Thailand to the dazzling skyline of Singapore.

Seabourn Encore will start with seven sailings between Singapore and Hong Kong, then continue to Japan, and finish with a transpacific crossing, marking her first-ever visit to the United States. Seabourn Quest will explore Japan during the cherry blossom season in spring and return in the fall to showcase the country’s autumn landscapes and will visit new destinations such as Akita and Wakayama, Japan.

“With its diverse beauty, rich culture, and deep history, our ultra-luxury cruises to Asia continue to be a favorite among our guests,” said Natalya Leahy, president of Seabourn. “To meet the growing demand, we’ve enhanced our itineraries this season and are offering many exciting voyages throughout Asia to new, hidden gems across the region, ensuring even more exceptional experiences for our guests.”
