Seabourn has opened bookings for its “2027 World Cruise: Australia & South Pacific Panorama.” The 145-day round-trip voyage from Miami will visit destinations in the South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand and South America. Sailing between January 5 and May 30, 2027, Seabourn Quest will travel nearly 34,000 nautical miles and visit 67 destinations in 19 countries.
The voyage will include two inaugural calls in Wallaroo, Australia, and Whangarei, New Zealand. Five overnight stays include Lima (Callao), Peru; Hobart, Australia; Papeete, French Polynesia; and Sydney and Darwin, Australia. The World Cruise will also include optional mid-voyage “Seabourn Journeys.” These land-based, multi-day experiences will take guests to Machu Picchu, the Galápagos Islands, Easter Island and Uluru in Australia.
Destination highlights include:
- Wallaroo, Australia – On the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, Wallaroo offers a blend of history, natural beauty and coastal charm. Guests can explore the Wallaroo Heritage and Nautical Museum or unwind on North Beach.
- Whangārei, New Zealand – Whangārei has a rich history, starting as a timber-milling site in the early 1800s and later becoming a hub for the kauri-gum trade and shipbuilding. Guests will visit the Whangārei Museum and the Hundertwasser Art Centre with Wairau Māori Art Gallery. It is also home to the Whangārei Falls, an 85-foot-high waterfall with beautiful viewpoints.
- The Kimberley, Australia – Scenic cruising of the Kimberley Coast offers a journey through one of Australia’s most remote regions. Guests will witness cliffs and waterfalls while navigating through crystal-clear waters. The experience is enriched by the region’s traditional land-owner heritage and abundant wildlife.
- Norfolk Island, Australia – A remote island in the South Pacific Ocean east of Australia, the island has a rich history, having been settled by Polynesians around 400 AD and later claimed by Captain Cook in 1774. Today, the island is known for its lush landscapes, historic sites and cultural heritage.
- Callao (Lima), Peru – The capital of Peru, Lima stands as one of the most significant cities in South America, and is known for its cuisine and proximity to Inca artifacts. Founded in 1535, it blends its UNESCO-inscribed Spanish Colonial heritage with modern architecture. The historic Plaza de Armas is surrounded by well-preserved colonial buildings, contrasting with the contemporary structures in newer districts.
- Panama Canal transit – The 145-day voyage will include two transits of the Panama Canal, one of the great engineering marvels of the modern world. Guests will enjoy a front-row view of this passage connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Signature experiences such as “Shopping with the Chef” will be offered in 11 ports, including Sydney, Auckland and Papeete. This experience offers a behind-the-scenes look at local markets, where guests can discover regional ingredients and culinary traditions led by experts, and enjoy regional dishes onboard.
