launch of new vessel Crystal Grace, alongside voyages on Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity, with sailings spanning the Mediterranean, northern Europe, the Arctic, the Americas, Asia-Pacific and the Caribbean. Grace will depart on its maiden


sailing from Rome on June 11 visiting Sorrento, Igoumenitsa (Greece), Kotor, Split, Zadar and Trieste, before continuing to Venice to operate in the Mediterranean. In September, the ship will sail


from Lisbon to New York to begin a series of sailings in New England and eastern Canada, followed by Caribbean itineraries from Fort Lauderdale, with calls in Antigua, Saint Lucia, Aruba and Barbados. Symphony will operate the line’s


2028 Treasures of the Tide world cruise, before embarking on a series of sailings in the Americas.

Seabourn is back in Svalbard! We are thrilled to have just launched our latest Expedition voyages


with an extended programme on board both Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit in the Arctic and Greenland for summer 2028.


In Svalbard, travellers can expect to see jagged mountain ranges, immense glaciers and drifting sea ice. It’s one of the planet’s most dramatic landscapes, inhabited by one of the world’s largest polar bear populations.


As well as more Northwest Passage voyages,


we’ve also just announced a second ‘Pole to Pole’ Grand Expedition encompassing the High Arctic, South America, South Georgia, the Falkland Islands, Antarctica and more in 96 days!


These types of holidays are perfect for


adventurous travellers. My advice is to contact your high-net-worth clients who take safaris and overland tours but who may not have considered a cruise. The chances are that destinations such as Antarctica, French Polynesia or Greenland are on their bucket lists – and the best way to visit these hard-to-reach places is on an expedition ship, learning from a world-class team. You can be the expert that guides them to the best experience suited for their needs and budget.


We now have nearly three years of expeditions


available for you to book, with sailings scheduled up to March 2029. There’s also an early-booking saving of 10% for guests who book these new voyages by May 13.
