Seabourn Announces Sale of Seabourn Sojourn to Mitsui Ocean Cruises for delivery in

May 2026

Seabourn Sojourn to operate all published cruises through May 15, 2026

SEATTLE, March 4, 2025 -- Seabourn, the leader in ultra-luxury cruising and expedition travel, announced the sale of Seabourn Sojourn to Mitsui Ocean Cruises, a subsidiary of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL). Following the sale, Seabourn will charter the ship back from Mitsui Ocean Cruises and continue to operate all published voyages on Seabourn Sojourn through completion of its world cruise ending May 15, 2026. Seabourn Sojourn will be delivered to Mitsui Ocean Cruises after the charter period and upon handover, the ship will be deployed by its new owners in a market that is not competitive with Seabourn.

"With this transition, Seabourn will have one of the youngest and most modern fleets in the business, perfectly suited to offer the private yacht-like experience that makes us one of the world's most popular choices in ultra-luxury cruising", said Mark Tamis, president, Seabourn. "Our award-winning ocean ships combined with our two recently launched expedition ships give us the right mix to serve these important categories in the ultra-luxury travel market while providing our guests with special Seabourn moments in over 500 destinations on seven continents."

Guests and their travel advisors with bookings impacted after May 15, 2026, will receive a message from Seabourn with details on changes or rebooking options.

"We are proud that after 16 years in the fleet, Seabourn Sojourn will continue her journeys with Mitsui Ocean Cruises. In the coming year, we will find special ways to celebrate Sojourn's legacy with guests and crew," Tamis said.
