Seabourn
May 9, 2026

Seabourn's polar voyages frequently call at sites of profound historical significance — Shackleton's grave on South Georgia, Mawson's huts in Cape Denison, Wilkes Land's heroic-age memorials. Onboard polar historians weave these waypoints into a coherent narrative through Discovery Center lectures and on-site shore commentary.
Recent contributing historians have included Royal Geographical Society fellows and authors of best-selling Antarctic histories.
