How can you pass up a "sake museum exclusive"? -

See you onboard. -
Sorry, this was on the Cloud in South Africa. Perhaps @FauxNom can chime in.

Yikes! What a bummer. So sorry for you and the pack. There were so many exciting events on that leg. And yes much better to deal with it at home. Hope all is well and life on the flip side is treating you well.

Thanks again for all the answers and great intel. So valuable. Sorry about the sloppy execution by expedition staff. Frustrating. Thanks for taking one for the team. We are also in the snorkeling camp. The tours you've mentioned are the exact ones we did on the Quest years ago. We had the same issues of ship not being allowed to operate their own Zodiacs in many areas. Why are we paying expedition prices when we're getting traditional ocean cruise options and turning into ATMs? Organize and revolt! π

Excellent!

Just sublime! -
Hope you weren't one of the victims and your final leg was great. After a week in the bush we returned through CPT . Gastro issues nailed us after we returned home. Now it all makes sense. Thanks for that update.

Hiroshima Castle looks lovely. Thanks. -
Brando looks fabulous. Thanks for the pics. Were you on the snorkeling side? Sounds like a rough expedition start. Hope they get their legs under them. Not sure I like the idea of paying for snorkeling on an expedition.....hmmmm. There seems to be a lot of poor planning by the mother ship and inexperienced EL's. Glad they opened the restaurant for lunch on a sea day and dinner was good. Signature Suite question - can you control the hot tub temp or do you have to get Seabourn to do it? We finally scored a SS for an upcoming trip. Thanks again for answers and reports.π

Chance favors the prepared mind. I'm feeling a cruise in Scorsby and King Oscar for 2026. 2027. OH, so many options. Perhaps Somalia or Yemen? To bad it misses @Fletcher favorite Djibouti. Best CC line ever. He went there so we didn't have to. π€£ -

Whoa, 6 minutes! That's an eternity. I am so in on that one. Must be my luck, but in my 3 trips to Greenland rarely saw a cloud....Iceland, that's another story.π€£ Good news, we can do both! Let's see what the travel Gods serve us up. -

Good call Nops. I forgot to look at Voyage Tracker. Here's a link for others, can be a bugger to find. https://www.seabourn.com/en/us/experience/voyagetracker/index.html -
Excursions on Pursuit South Pacifuc
highplanesdrifters replied to kej1's topic in Seabourn Cruise Line
South Pacific is my favorite part of the world. Trips there are decadent vacations. Coffee, snorkel, drink, eat, repeat. I did a live from SS Explorer last year Fiji - Broome. Many similar ports. The OP has some stops in NE PNG, all new to me. Look forward to hearing about them. @kej1. T-1. Have a blast! -

@kej1 Thanks much for you're reply, especially the diving. I hope you'll do a live or follow up report. You're hitting numerous ports we didn't. LOL, of course they'll sign you up for kayak, sub, etc. They want the float on your money! I hope I didn't discourage you too much from the fire dance on Rabul. Folks did say it was a great experience. As they say, we were sung sung from sing sings by then. The thought of an hour each way on a small bus with no AC sealed the deal for us. I'm hoping that once Sebourn get a few more expeditions under their belts they will provide more info. We're all in the same boat when it comes to finding value and delivery of the product they promise. It's not fun rolling the dice with these pricey trips. π Wishing you an awesome journey with fair winds and following seas!
