Luxury cruise operator Seabourn has announced updated itineraries and schedule changes to its 2021 Alaska and British Columbia season.
The season is due to run between May and September on Seabourn Odyssey and will consist of 18 seven-day voyages between Vancouver, Canada, and Juneau, Alaska.
Seabourn has revised the itineraries to operate on a seven-day basis to meet the requirements of the Framework for Resuming Cruise Ship Operations order issued by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for sailings with US port calls.
To be compliant, the line has changed its deployment to rotating seven-day north and southbound itineraries operating from Vancouver, British Columbia and Juneau.
A number of these voyages will feature the incredible Glacier Bay experience as Seabourn is one of the only ultra-luxury brands with permits to explore Glacier Bay.
Josh Leibowitz, president of Seabourn, said: “We’re dedicated to delivering an authentic ultra-luxury experience in one of the most spectacular regions in the world, including remote, pristine ports that are difficult to access if you’re not coming by Seabourn-sized ships.
“At the same time, we are committed to meeting the CDC’s requirements to return to service and bring guests back to our ships in a safe and healthy model.”
As a result of the deployment changes, Seabourn’s revised 2021 Alaska and British Columbia season will begin on May 28.
The line has cancelled two voyages: the Pacific Coastal sailing scheduled for May 15, 2021 and the Alaska voyage that was set to depart May 21, 2021.
The operator said it will be communicating changes and specific details to guests and travel agent partners on the affected voyages.
