 Seabourn, the world’s finest ultra-luxury cruise line, is
launching new pre-cruise experiences taking guests to the South Pole on select
Antarctica & Patagonia itineraries during the 2016-2017 season.
Guests bound for the Great White Continent aboard Seabourn Quest can extend
their adventure with two new travel packages that also travel to UNESCO World
Heritage Sites, including: Polar Quest & Patagonia and Polar Quest, Tierra del
Fuego & Iguazu Falls.
“Seabourn has made its reputation for offering guests astonishing experiences in
places that are beyond the ordinary, and there are few travel opportunities
less-expected or out-of-the-ordinary than a visit to the South Pole,” said Robin
West, Senior Manager, Expedition Planning and Operations for Seabourn. “These
experiences will be the icing on the cake for guests bound for Antarctica aboard
Seabourn Quest over the season ahead.”
Both of the pre-cruise packages include stays at Union Glacier Camp in the
southern Ellsworth Mountains, one of a few private seasonally occupied camps in
Antarctica. Operated by renowned land-based tour operator Antarctic Logistics
and Expeditions (ALE), the full-service camp offers spacious, double-occupancy
sleeping tents; freshly prepared gourmet cuisine; and a spectacular setting for
activities from scenic excursions to technical climbs and ski tours.
There are many memories waiting to be made and much for guests to enjoy on the
new pre-cruise experiences on Seabourn Quest in Antarctica & Patagonia this
season, including:
+ Polar Quest & Patagonia (14 nights/15 days) – In addition to a transantarctic
