Rare ak1004 Posted September 26 #1 Share Posted September 26 Looks like 2026 itineraries are out, but reservations open to Club members only. My TA was able to secure a cabin for us, but not for our friends who are first time SB cruisers. Anyone knows when reservations open to the general public?

Rare ak1004 Posted September 26 Author #3 Share Posted September 26 I assume there is no way to secure a cabin for them before October 10 if they are first time SB cruisers, even if they are travelling with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessTraveller Posted September 27 #4 Share Posted September 27 I was awaiting the new itineraries today after receiving the pre-notice email the other day, but received no email today. Are they online or via email? Guessing not online as anyone could book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessTraveller Posted September 27 #6 Share Posted September 27 Appreciate the quick reply @nancygp. Guess I did not take a close enough gander at the SB website today . Time to go back for a little late night entertainment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering if our friends who are not Club members will get the same pricing on October 10 when they open to the general public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessTraveller Posted September 27 #8 Share Posted September 27 Update: finally received a direct Seabourn email on the new itineraries late tonight. Not sure if I missed something more obvious on their website (only saw new Quest voyages, which is not really new), but the email had a link to new cruises so no more hunting 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare galeforce9 Posted September 27 #10 Share Posted September 27 Received overnight but no pricing? Not ringing from UK. Shame that Encore will no longer be in the Med but in Alaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessTraveller Posted September 27 #11 Share Posted September 27 I am not a fan of having to contact Seabourn to get pricing. Last time new itineraries were released, I phoned and the Seabourn representative, unknowingly to us, set up a new Club number for my husband. No idea why. This created a major headache for our TA and us, especially since a FCC was under his original Club number. Had to redo all our preferences as well. Hope it doesn't happen to others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florisdekort Posted September 27 #12 Share Posted September 27 Interesting changes. Encore in Alaska and Ovation for Canada and New England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there is an early booking discount already in the price. It’s possible the price will change on October 10th. Nancy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vineyard View Posted September 27 #14 Share Posted September 27 I just took a look at Europe itineraries for the Spring of ‘26. Every one of them is showing ‘sold out’, so I guess that is AKA need to call. It doesn’t seem like very many, with Ovation focus on Northern Europe, and Quest only 1 itinerary in the Mediterranean through May - so would this be a partial release?

Wonderful…I’ll be on the same ship in a few weeks, was on it 2 years ago. I’m looking forward to seeing Aimee Lake again. It will be our 6th SB cruise since the summer of 2022. All have been great but our last one, last month, was really great for many reasons. Nancy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdy: I am seeing: Quest taking over Eastern Mediterranean from Encore (I see them listed all through OCT '26) Sojourn taking over Western Mediterranean from Ovation Ovation taking over Atlantic and Northern Europe Encore taking over Pacific and Alaska from Sojourn/Quest The Pacific, Alaska and the Atlantic, Northern Europe must be higher demand for them to move the bigger ships there. But it all seems logical if that is the case. I am just wondering how Encore is going to handle the zodiacs, kayaks and Venturing in Alaska? I am guessing that Pursuit will continue doing what it is now, but I want to see what they will be doing with Venture in '26. Scoresby Sund plus Northeast Greenland National Park were spectacular, but they are not offered in '25. I am hoping they return for '26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
