Inclusive Seabourn Expedition Experiences

On both Expedition ships there will always be an Included Shore Excursion for all guests anytime we are using a third-party operator to deliver the experience, except on turnaround ports. On these occasions, Expedition Team Members will join the tour and give additional insight and information where possible, however the tour will ultimately be operated by a third-party, land-based operator. Included Shore Excursions are bookable on the website and show up as a zero cost. On very rare occasions, in remote destinations, we may not be able to accommodate all guests on one Included Shore Excursion and may offer two or three in order to accommodate all 264 guests. On these rare occasions, guests will only be able to partake in one Included Shore Excursion and will need to make a choice. Guests are encouraged to pre-book online, however, if they do not, there will always be space available for them to participate in one Included Shore Excursion.

2. Optional Shore Excursion

This is the same as on the current ocean-going fleet. Luxury is about choice, so on most occasions there will be one or two Optional Shore Excursions. These can also be booked online. There is NO REFUND or COMPENSATION if a guest opts out of an Included Shore Excursion to partake in an Optional Shore Excursion. Opting into an Optional Shore Excursion provides added value to the guest's overall experience.

3. Included Expedition

In all cases there is no need to book and space will be available for all guests. These Included Expedition experiences will be offered on board as opportunities arise. They may also clash with other activities being offered on the day and guests will need to make a choice between available offerings. Guests will not know availability for these Included Expedition experiences until on board the ship when a daily briefing given by the Expedition Leader will explain these opportunities. Included Expedition experiences include:

• Guided Walks and Hikes
• Snorkeling: All snorkel gear will be provided with the exception of wetsuits or rash guards (guests are welcome to bring them if they like).
• Zodiac® Tour: A Zodiac® Tour is when the Zodiac® boats head out for 90-120 min for scenic cruising. Guests do not disembark the Zodiac®, but instead scenic cruise with a qualified Zodiac® driver/naturalist who offers interpretation about the natural history. This is an incredible way to experience remote destinations and wildlife and often can be better than an actual Zodiac® landing.
• Zodiac® Landing: A Zodiac® Landing is when the Zodiac® boats are used like a tender, but on Expedition Ships, they take you to shore in areas with no infrastructure. The Zodiac® boats make it possible to land on a beach or rocky outcrop in remote areas.

4. Optional Expedition (kayaks and subs)

Onboard both Expedition ships, we will have eight double kayaks and two six-seat submarines. The kayaks and submarines will be guided by certified members of the Expedition Team. Kayak tours are approximately two hours in length and submarine dives are approximately 40 to 45 minutes. Seabourn provides all the necessary equipment. Both activities are optional and for charge. These are to be bookable online and have both limited capacity on a daily basis and throughout a voyage. As a result, not all guests will be able to kayak or go on a submarine dive on every sailing. There are also a number of itineraries where we cannot use the kayaks and subs. This is being reflected in the day-by-day itineraries on our website and with icons throughout our marketing and communications.

5. Accessible Shore Excursions and/or Expeditions

Seabourn Shore Excursion Reservations has a subset of agents trained to assist guests one on one with accessible shore excursion tours available during their sailing. For any internal or external accessible inquiry, please send to sbn_shorex_access@seabourn.com or contact us at +1-800 984 3225.

Accessibility varies per region. The modes of transportation used during a shore excursion or expedition can limit options. Guest who cannot safely board a Zodiac unassisted will not be permitted to leave the ship unless in a port where we use a gangway. Please keep in mind there are a number of remote operations where the ship does not come alongside a port for the entire sailing beyond a turn day.
