Rare 120-Day World Cruise Out of Miami Features First Ever Expedition Program

A new world cruise out of PortMiami is offering something different than most world cruises. Besides visiting 5 continents and 50 destinations, this cruise has an expedition flare to it.

It sails from Cape Horn to the Cape of Good Hope, and the ship will also have its own expedition team for remote exploration in Antarctica and along the Chilean fjords.

Seabourn has just announced its 2028 “Cape to Cape” World Cruise, a 120-day voyage departing from PortMiami on January 7, 2028.

The sailing takes place on the 458-passenger Seabourn Quest, and this world cruise marks the cruise line’s 40th anniversary.

The itinerary covers 26,000 nautical miles and visits over 50 destinations. It follows a rare “Cape to Cape” path, connecting Cape Horn in South America to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.

Expedition Features and Maiden Calls

For the first time on a Seabourn world cruise, there will be a dedicated expedition team of 18 experts on board. Passengers will have access to complimentary Zodiac cruises and guided hikes in remote regions like Antarctica and the Chilean Fjords.

The cruise route includes several ports the cruise line has never visited before. These include Robinson Crusoe Island and Santa Clara Island in the South Pacific, as well as the remote Nightingale Island in the South Atlantic.

Access to 38 UNESCO Sites

Cultural exploration is a big part of this world voyage too. The ship will pass through the Panama Canal and then head south toward the statues of Easter Island.

A major highlight of this sailing is a multi-day “Seabourn Journey” to the historical sanctuary of Machu Picchu. Passengers will also enjoy overnight stays in Lima, Buenos Aires, Cape Town, and Paris, so there’s even more time to explore these ports.
