History and culture mark Seabourn’s summer 2025 Northern Europe sailings

Seabourn is offering an extraordinary line-up of Northern Europe itineraries for the summer 2025 cruise season.

From May to August 2025, Seabourn Sojourn will embark on a series of captivating voyages across The British Isles, Norwegian Fjords and Iceland Coast.

Seabourn Sojourn will visit more than 40 destinations in 12 countries on nine itineraries ranging from seven to 24 days. With departures from Dover (London), England; Reykjavik, Iceland; and Greenock (Glasgow), Scotland, guests can explore the mystical lochs of Scotland, chase the midnight sun in Norway’s northern reaches, and experience Iceland’s breathtaking scenery and quaint villages. The ultra-luxury ship will cap her season with the “24-Day Route of The Vikings”, following the historic seafarers’ route from Dover to Montreal, Quebec.

“Our Northern Europe itineraries bring history and culture to life and provide ample opportunities for guests to explore charming British, Icelandic and Norwegian villages, visit the historic castles of South Wales, and discover the region’s stunning fjords and ancient lochs,” said Mark Tamis, president of Seabourn. “Guests can connect with the charm, heritage, and hospitality of Northern Europe, while enjoying the ultra-luxury travel experience that we are known for.”

2026 Northern Europe voyages

Space is also available on the line’s 2026 Northern Europe voyages. Between May and August 2026, Seabourn Ovation will visit more than 60 destinations in 16 countries on nine voyages ranging from seven to 22 days.

The award-winning ship will sail on two 14-day departures through majestic fjords to the northernmost tip of Europe, the North Cape, departing May 16 and June 13, 2026. The June 13 departure coincides with Midsummer, celebrating the summer solstice and offering the ideal opportunity to experience the Midnight Sun.

Seabourn Ovation will also sail on a 14-day West Ireland Gems & Solar Eclipse voyage, departing on August 8, 2026, from Dover (London), England, to Reykjavik, Iceland. The ship will visit unique ports in Western Ireland, including Galway and Killybegs, and position itself off the coast of Ireland in the Atlantic Ocean to view the total solar eclipse on Aug. 12, 2026. The voyage will also feature a special Seabourn Conversations program with Jane A Green, Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, to educate guests about the solar eclipse.

Rounding out Seabourn Ovation’s Northern Europe deployment from Dover, are several departures of the 14-day Jewels of the British Isles voyages, which blend top destinations such as Belfast and Edinburgh with smaller gems like Oban, Scotland and Fishguard, Wales. Seabourn Ovation will end the season with the special 22-Day Fire & Ice Passage where she crosses from Iceland via Greenland and Atlantic Canada to reach New York City in time for the fall colours.
