    Seabourn's expedition ship Seabourn Pursuit sails into Australia for the first time

    The purpose-built ultra-luxury expedition ship arrived at Darwin June 11, 2024, heralding the start of Seabourn’s highly anticipated inaugural season in the Kimberley. Seabourn Pursuit, Seabourn’s newest ultra-luxury, purpose-built expedition vessel, entered Australian waters for the first time, sailing into Darwin in the Northern Territory on the morning of Tuesday, 11th June. The arrival of Seabourn Pursuit marks the start of Seabourn’s highly anticipated inaugural season in the Kimberley region, which will begin on June 12th, when the ship sets sail on the first of six 10-day voyages between Darwin and Broome from June to August 2024, Carnival Corporation said in its news release.
