Although, we have not cruised extensively, and this 37-night voyage was twice the length of any previous voyage, we never tired of the fascinating lectures, the zodiac excursions, and the frequent entertainment activities. The Seabourn Venture’s suites were large and comfortable, and the drying cupboard was brilliant. The whole ship’s crew were wonderful, read more and were amazingly accomplished at remembering every guest’s personal preferences. The large Expedition Crew, which included 2 Inuit Ambassadors, had experts on every relevant topic, including history, archaeology, flora and fauna, and Inuit culture. The experience some of them had as individuals was truly remarkable and their accounting of their many adventures in the Arctic and Antarctic was sometimes mind-blowing, sometimes hilarious, but always fascinating. They truly made this experience very special.
A slight disappointment was that we had hoped to see more wildlife, and to be somewhat closer to it. However, we realise that this is completely out of anyone’s control, and related to the time of year we were there, the national rules governing approaching wildlife, as well as the inherent unpredictability of encounters. We did see a few polar bears, from a distance, a large herd of walrus lounging on a rocky shore, a few seals, and an incredible pod of some 150+ beluga whales swimming very close to the shoreline where we were walking. The latter was very special. However, as we were well into autumn, most of the whales and birds had already headed south for the winter.
One of the highlights of this trip was learning about and visiting Canadian Inuit communities, tasting their food, admiring their art and craft works, and enjoying the athletic abilities of the young people performing “Artic Games sports”. Equally fascinating but quite different were our visits to 4 Greenlandic towns, with their brightly painted homes and buildings. We travelled through some beautiful, uninhabited and remote landscapes, saw glaciers, icebergs and rugged mountains, and scenic fjords. We were in credibly lucky to see spectacular northern lights for 5 consecutive nights off the coast of Greenland.
This trip was definitely an incredibly special experience and has whetted our appetite to explore other remote parts of the world and learn about their history and culture.

Great Alaska cruise with Seabourn. 0
Roger and Jenny Lee, NSW, Australia, May 2026
This is our third cruise with Seabourn and, thanks to the efficiency of both the Seabourn side and Tracey at Global Journeys, it was trouble free and most enjoyable. Everything from boarding to disembarkation went seamlessly. Tracey kept us informed of some of the requirements particular to entry to the US and, armed with this, we encountered no difficulties. read more It has all been so enjoyable, we have already booked for next year with the same cruise line and will be leaving all the details in Tracey's competent hands.

Jill and Phil, Nelson, New Zealand, Nov 2025
This was our first time cruising on a smaller ship (Seabourn) and we loved the experience! The food was fantastic, the wait staff very attentive and the ship itself was very well laid out and well maintained. Georgie (as always) was extremely prompt answering any questions we had pre-cruise and she made us feel like "one of the family". We highly recommend Global Journeys!!
I booked my Seabourn Alaska cruise through Global Journeys and both experiences couldn't have been better. Tracey from Global Journey's was very helpful and always available to answer any questions I might have had.
The Seaborn Alaska Cruise on Odyssey was just fabulous. I wanted a smaller ship without all the big party events that you get on a read more large ship. Around 450 passengers a range of entertainment every night if you wanted it. The staff from the Cruise Director, bar and wait staff to the room stewards were genuinely friendly. The zodiac and kayak expeditions were just what I wanted up close and personal with wild life and glaciers. As a solo traveller I particularly liked the opportunity to be invited to dinner at a table hosted by one of the crew or or entertainment staff. the chance to meet and mix with other passengers that you otherwise may not have had the opportunity to meet. I will most definitely use both Seabourn and Global Journeys again and cant recommend them highly enough.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 16 day cruise on Seabourn Odyssey, from Sydney to Auckland. Wonderful weather and beautiful scenery. Thank you Georgie for your help.
