Marine Biologist & Cetacean Specialist

Seabourn's expedition fleet carries marine biologists trained to identify and interpret cetaceans, pinnipeds, seabirds, and reef ecosystems. Daily Discovery Center lectures cover topics ranging from humpback whale migration to penguin breeding biology to the chemistry of polar phytoplankton blooms.

On Zodiac excursions, the marine biologist's commentary turns wildlife sightings into educational moments — and bridge-to-bridge calls between expert and ship's officers ensure the navigators position the ship for the best wildlife viewing.
