Aboard Seabourn Pursuit with Seabourn
Cruise Overview
Papeete will be your gateway to the tropical paradise of French Polynesia, where islands fringed with gorgeous beaches and turquoise ocean await to soothe the soul.
This spirited city is the capital of French Polynesia, and serves as a superb base for onward exploration of Tahiti – an island of breathtaking landscapes and oceanic vistas.
Wonderful lagoons of crisp, clear water beg to be snorkelled, stunning black beaches and blowholes pay tribute to the island's volcanic heritage, and lush green mountains beckon you inland on adventures, as you explore extraordinary Tahiti.
Visit to relax inside picturesque stilted huts, which stand out over shimmering water, as you settle into the intoxicating rhythm of life, in this Polynesian paradise.
In the Gambier Islands of French Polynesia, Mangareva is the largest island with a population of over 1,200 people.
Most live in the largest village on the island, Rikitea.
A high central ridge runs the length of Mangareva peaking with Mt.
Duff, which rises over 440 meters from the sea on the island's south coast.
The island has a large lagoon sprinkled with coral reefs whose tropical fish helped ancient islanders survive much more successfully than on nearby islands with no reefs.
Small ships are able to enter the lagoon of Mangareva.
From inside the atoll it is possible to reach Mangareva’s main town.
Ashore visitors can walk through the town or up the sides of Mt.
Duff.
The highlights in town include the cathedral with its mother-of-pearl shell objects designed by the students of Rikitea’s school.

Aboard Seabourn Pursuit
Launch Year: 2023 Length: 170 Width: 26 Currency: Capacity: 264 Crew Count: 120 Deck Count: 8 Cabin Count: 132
Construction for Seabourn Pursuit began in fall 2020 during a ceremony in San Giorgo di Nogare, Italy, and the build process is well underway. The ship is scheduled for delivery in 2023, with its sister ship, Seabourn Venture, slated for delivery in 2022.
Seabourn Pursuit is the second Seabourn expedition ship slated to launch in 2023. Both Seabourn Pursuit and sister ship Seabourn Venture are designed and built for diverse environments to PC6 Polar Class standards and include modern hardware and technology that will extend the ships’ global deployment and capabilities. Each will carry two custom-built submarines, 24 Zodiacs, kayaks, and a 26-person expert expedition team whose role is to engage guests throughout each voyage.
The ship then continues onward by exploring the waters and landscapes of Greenland, Iceland and Norway throughout the spring and early summer, in some instances retracing the path of the Vikings to the frontier town of Tromsø while carving its way through the inside passage of the Norwegian fjords along the way. A sure highlight for August 2023 is the ship’s Northwest Passage journey through some of the most remote areas in the Northern Hemisphere from Kangerlussuaq, Greenland to Nome, Alaska.
