Seabourn’s luxury 140-day world cruise in 2023 is selling fast

• Seabourn opened bookings for its “2023 World Cruise: Extraordinary Discoveries” trip on February 12.
• The 140-day cruise will bring passengers to 61 destinations across 32 countries.
• Some suites have already sold out, and demand is up compared to Seabourn’s 2020 to 2022 world cruises.

Customers are scrambling to book Seabourn’s 2023 world cruise after the luxury cruise line debuted the 140-day trip earlier this month.

Seabourn Cruise Line — owned by Carnival — first began accepting bookings for its “2023 World Cruise: Extraordinary Discoveries” on February 12. Since then, the cruise’s penthouse spa and premium suites have sold out, a Seabourn spokesperson told Insider in an email statement.

And now, the cruise line is seeing more demand for the 2023 world cruise than it saw for its 2020, 2021, and 2022 world cruises from the same selling cycle.

This high demand for Seabourn’s future cruise signals a potential wider trend in travel. World cruises could become more popular after the COVID-19 pandemic is over because of pent up demand for travel. Similarly, when Oceania Cruises debuted its 2023 world cruise starting at $41,600 per person on January 27, the 180-day trip sold out within a day.

“Despite the challenges the world faces today, travelers are clearly bullish on the future and are embracing these new opportunities to travel the world,” Bob Binder, president and CEO of Oceania Cruises, said in a statement after its 2023 global cruise sold out.
