Look inside the new Seabourn Pursuit suites

Seabourn doesn’t just call themselves a luxury cruise line, they bill themselves as an ultra-luxury cruise line, and a look inside the suites of the upcoming Seabourn Pursuit should back that up.

Seabourn Pursuit will be the second of two purpose-built expedition vessels in the Seabourn fleet. It’s set to launch this summer, 2023, with 132 oceanfront veranda suites in an array of layouts and dimensions.

All 12 suite categories include private ocean-view verandas, a living area, queen-size bed or two twin beds, walk-in closet, interactive TV, fully stocked bar and refrigerator, writing desk with personalized stationery, and a makeup vanity. The spacious marble guest bathrooms have a full tub, separate shower, and luxury beauty products.

Each suite also has a built-in heated jacket wardrobe, where guests can hang their wet outdoor Complimentary PolarShield Parka and other gear to dry quickly once they return from adventures off the ship. They can also use them to warm their coats before heading out on a cool morning.

For this new expedition vessel, hospitality atelier Tihany Design – led by Founder Adam D. Tihany and Managing Partner Alessia Genova – fashioned interiors to create a modern ambiance that combines comfort, relaxed elegance, and sophisticated ruggedness.

“Tihany Design’s latest undertaking for Seabourn is among its most thoughtfully conceived and executed, creating an ultra-luxury atmosphere that pairs well with the expedition feel guests experience throughout Seabourn Pursuit,” said Natalya Leahy, president of Seabourn. “Guests will certainly recognize their Seabourn ‘home away from home’ while being surrounded by elements that bring a spirit of adventure and discovery as they visit some of the most beautiful and remote locations of the world.”

Additional in-suite amenities include a personal safe, plush robes, slippers, and hair dryer. Bedding is outfitted with a custom-built mattress, cotton linens, all-season duvet, and firm or soft pillows. The in-suite bar is replenished with a selection of beverages and complimentary wines and/or spirits as per guest requests; and guests can take advantage of Swarovski Optik binoculars to use to view natural beauty from afar.

The suites’ exclusive custom furniture collection by Tihany Design was produced by Italian furniture manufacturer Roda, which combines authentic Italian craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology and innovation. Natural curvilinear arch design elements and parchment-inspired wall panels are among the many details that reflect bygone maritime craftsmanship; digitally printed wall laminate material mimics wood with granular detail; heated flooring with wooden-look tiles; and custom bedside panels feature toggle switches, an analog clock, and a fold-away reading lamp.

All guests can look forward to a Personal Suite Host and Suite Attendant. Their duties include welcoming Champagne and canapés; personalized nightly turndown service; assistance with special requests, such as arranging in-suite cocktail parties; regular replenishment of ice and bar setup; management of laundry service needs; and the ritual drawing of “Pure Pampering” baths upon request.
