Venture itself is great but tendering even in regular ports is only by Zodica which can mean a lengthy wet ride to get to and from the tour buses.
"Most days we had regular tours in the morning and then in the afternoon the ship left so there could be Zodiac tours of the various islands which was the "expedition" part of the voyage.With the expedition team being responsible for the regular tours as well as the expedition tours they dominated the ship board airways with unnecessarily lengthy on board announcements...."Read More

Amazing Experience

This was an amazing cruise. My husband and I loved it. The cabin, the staff, the expedition team. The entertainment, the food, the captain, all great. The universe was cooperative in providing beautiful weather. We had the Drake Lake on our way down which allowed for a bonus landing at Deception Island. I hardly wore my hat and my glove liners were sufficient. All of the landings were fantastic ...

Excellent cruise ship; but more "luxury" than expedition

Our prior 3 cruises were expedition cruises on the Silver Explorer. When we heard of Seabourn's new expedition ship,we were curious to see what it was like. Our 18 day cruise started in Valparaiso, Chile (Santiago) and ended in Ushuaia. Sailing through the Chilean Fjords, then crossing the Drake Passage to Antarctica where we spent 5 days, and back. Overall we had a very good experience. ...

Too little ship, too little adventure, too much money

This was our 5th Seabourn cruise and, unlike our most memorable cruise aboard the Quest to Antarctica with the late and much missed Captain Larsen, this voyage was a bust. Think that you’ll get close to Polar Bears and other marine mammals aboard Zodiacs? Think again! You’d be better off watching a David Attenborough film and saving yourself +$30k. We never got closer than 1000 meters to these ...

Our extended family of four sailed from Nome to Vancouver on a 12 day trip this past September. Seabourn Venture is superb. The design is a happy marriage of form and function. The finishings are exquisite. Everything- from suites to public areas to outdoor spaces, all impeccably designed and executed. I have not been aboard a better ship. At 355 square feet, the smallest suites are more ...

First thing to realize is that the Venture is an expedition ship. It does not offer a “sit by the pool and sip pina coladas” type experience. What it does offer is exciting, off the beaten path itineraries, education and adventures under the guidance of a highly qualified expedition staff. Most voyages are about two weeks, and the ship is small carrying about 225. There were about 150 on our trip. ...

Venture is a beautiful small ship but Seabourn do need to have a rethink re what parts of a voyage in particular round the UK are "expedition" and which are not. We were cruising around Scotland where many of the places we visited and the tours on offer were the same as for the regular cruise ships. However, as all tendering was by Zodiacs (which hold 12 people) this did take longer for the ...

My name is Ivan and I’m professional geologist and explorationist by training and experience. I participated in few expeditions by Viking and Silversea cruise lines (that were very good) as well as numerous land-based geological field trips. In early 2022, I and my spouse decided to look for Antarctica expedition cruise and selected Seabourn due to the cruise credit we had with them after one ...

Based on our trip to the Antarctic on the Seabourn Quest in 2019 we chose this new expedition ship when we decided to visit Greenland. When completion of the Venture was delayed a total of four times and our initial sailing date was advanced by almost exactly one year we were initially a bit concerned about how things would come together. But to cut to the finish, I guess the time was well spent ...
