Ultra-luxury cruising in the Mediterranean

Seeking to travel with a difference this year? Join the growing number of Australians booking a luxury cruise with Seabourn, giving new meaning to extravagance.  

Cruising the Mediterranean can give you a genuinely new perspective on life. The celebrated birthplace of brilliant ideas and institutions across democracy, philosophy, art and science, all pivotal in modern western society, this unique coastline is considered the cradle of western civilisation.   

To get there, a growing number of Australians are seeking out a cruise for their next holiday. Last year, one in four people stepped aboard a cruise ship, seeking out exclusive experiences that take care of every single detail. 

For an ultra-luxurious option, Seabourn can take you on a journey of exploration through the Mediterranean’s world of history and culture in style. Offering guests an all-inclusive experience, Seabourn has curated voyages delivering intuitive personalised service..  

Picture yourselfsipping wine in Rome, tossing your own pie at a Sicilian pizzeria, Kayaking along Corsica’s rugged coast or simply working on your St Tropez tan. Seabourn is focused on ensuring guests have memorable and enriching experiences in the more than 400 ports of call worldwide, covering 84 destinations across 15 countries  in its 2026 Mediterranean itineraries alone.  

Seabourn offers hand-selected itineraries that take you to places beyond the reach of larger ships. Your home away from home offers a yacht-like atmosphere and ocean-front suites, so you can enjoy the journey as you sail between countries., Cruising in luxury is about spending the day pampering yourself in the spa or sipping your favorite cocktail poolside while visiting destinations you may not have contemplated.

Opulence is the order of the day, with caviar and fine dining the norm. Seabourn chefs seek out local produce, seafood, cured meats, cheeses, herbs and spices to enliven their onboard menus, with guests invited along to “Shopping with the Chef” if they so wish. Guests can also customise their shore experiences by arranging private cars and drivers

Guest suites feature a marble bath with double vanities, luxury products and a personal suite host at your beck and call can completely change your outlook on what a ultra- luxury cruise really means. 

A range of optional shore experiences in each port of call allows guests to explore each destination’s regional history, culture and landscapes. From the Piraeus harbour in Athens, with a treasure trove of antiquities nearby, to the medieval atmosphere of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, and Corfu Town with cobblestone lanes so narrow only foot travel is possible, Seabourn takes you off the beaten track.  

Indulge your passions for tasting traditional and contemporary food and drinks, exploring iconic landmarks  or shopping a bustling Sicilian market and gathering spices in Istanbul.
