Seabourn invites guests to step into a world of ultra-luxury, comfort and enchanting exploration with its ‘2026 World Cruise – Ring of Fire: Hidden Gems’, a 129-day voyage on Seabourn Sojourn.
The itinerary will visit 63 extraordinary destinations and ports in 14 countries and offer many new value-added amenities and benefits to elevate the guest experience and is now open for sale, with the entire itinerary available on Seabourn’s website.
Departing Los Angeles on January 6, 2026, the award-winning, ultra-luxury Seabourn Sojourn will travel approximately 28,000 nautical miles, crossing the International Dateline and Equator not once, but twice.
The voyage will explore the lush volcanic islands and atolls of the South Pacific, circumnavigate the wild coasts of Australia, and weave through the beguiling islands of Japan at the cusp of spring flower season before crossing the North Pacific to Glacier Bay National Park to usher in the Alaskan summer.
The sailing will feature five maiden calls and a combination of popular marquee ports, cosmopolitan cities and smaller hidden gems. Guests will enjoy seven overnights and linger late into the evening in seven ports, offering guests ample opportunities to explore these fascinating destinations in depth.
“Our 2026 World Cruise is a masterful mosaic of moments, designed for guests to uncover the hidden gems of the Ring of Fire while enjoying the comfort of Seabourn’s signature, ultra-luxury services,” president, Seabourn, Natalya Leahy, said.
“Whether they choose to sail the full journey or on one of our shorter segments, our guests will discover a world of hidden gems that very few individuals have ever experienced.”
