The Restaurant on the Seabourn Venture offers fine dining.
The Seabourn Venture is staffed with a 26-person expedition team that brings destinations to life. Team members include submarine pilots, lead kayakers, bear guides, dive masters, marine biologists, geologists, surface supervisor officers, climatologists and ornithologists. Their valuable insights are offered via formal presentations and in casual conversations over meals and during leisure experiences.
The Seabourn Venture has been created to provide super-exclusive, off-the-ship adventures for guests. Inclusive expedition experiences include Zodiacs, scuba diving and snorkeling, plus other complimentary excursions. Optional expedition excursions are available for an additional charge.
The Seabourn Venture is equipped with a great selection of “water toys.” Besides 24 Zodiacs and kayaks, there are two custom-built submarines, each with a capacity for six persons.
Hosted by members of the expedition team, the Seabourn Venture has an “open bridge policy” providing first hand access to the ship’s command center and officers navigating the journey. (This is at the discretion of the captain.)
The Seabourn Venture’s Constellation Lounge
Public spaces on the Seabourn Venture have narratives of their own, combining the spirit of adventure and thrill of discovery with Seabourn-style luxury and comfort. The Expedition Lounge, located on Deck 4, is adjacent to the Discovery Center, where guests gather to enjoy the natural history and cultural programming. The Bow Lounge, with the closest access to the water, is a prime setting for watching marine life. The Constellation Lounge, the highest indoor viewing point, is located on the top deck, with stunning 270-degree views and an intimate interior dressed up in dark blue and red, inspired by the constellations in the evening night skies.
