It will soon be the height of the travel season in the southern hemisphere, and Seabourn is ready for adventure with a world-class and very experienced Expedition Team assembled to lead all expeditions through the wilds of Antarctica and Patagonia from Seabourn Quest.

“There is so much waiting to thrill Seabourn guests in Antarctica and Patagonia, and this season’s Expedition Team will be there with them heightening the excitement of every kayaking paddle stroke, Zodiac ride, and shore excursion along the way,” said Robin West, vice president of Expedition Operations for Seabourn. “As always, our Expedition Team members will support the onboard experience of Seabourn Quest, ready for edifying, knowledgeable and compelling conversation with guests at many times of day throughout their fascinating journey.”

As on every exploration choreographed by Seabourn around the world, the Expedition Team bound for Antarctica is made up of experienced wilderness experts, scientists, historians, Zodiac operators, kayak guides and photographers focused on enhancing travelers’ time amid the remote beauty and fascinating wildlife of the region. Guests will also be able to enjoy Ventures by Seabourn® optional, for-charge kayak excursions scheduled throughout the season that can be booked in advance of departure.

Along with their roles off the ship, Expedition Team members will be part of our Seabourn Conversations program, and will regularly interact with guests throughout each sailing, sharing keen insight and in-depth knowledge about the history, ecology and culture of the region. Their valuable insights are offered both in complimentary formal presentations on a variety of topics and in more casual conversations on deck, over meals or at leisure. In addition, the team chronicles their adventures with stories and photos via Seabourn’s Voyage Tracker.

The Expedition Team to Antarctica & Patagonia will be equipped with high-quality binoculars from Swarovski® Optik. Through our unique partnership with Swarovski, Seabourn Quest’s Expedition Team and bridge staff will utilize the optics widely regarded as some of the finest available to search for wildlife and view the stunning landscapes from on board the ship and ashore. Premium Suite guests will also find a pair of Swarovski binoculars in their suite to use onboard during their sailing and Swarovski products are also available for purchase in The Shops adjacent to Seabourn Square.

The Expedition Team will rotate throughout the season, and additional team members will join select sailings periodically, opening guests’ eyes and minds to the wonders of the natural world in this coveted travel destination.
