22-day Pacific Passage will feature incredible entertainment, meaningful special guests and unique culinary offerings to celebrate Seabourn Odyssey's 15 years of service
SEATTLE, April 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Seabourn, the leader in ultra-luxury cruising and expedition travel, invites guests to experience the iconic Seabourn Odyssey one last time during its 22-day Farewell Voyage, departing September 2, 2024, from Seattle, Wash., to Yokohama, Japan. The one-of-a-kind voyage will feature a number of memorable tributes to Seabourn Odyssey's greatest moments, including appearances from the original team and performing cast, incredible local artists, and unique gifts and memories to be made with their Seabourn family.
In honor of this sailing, John Barron and Handré Potgieter will return as cruise directors for Seabourn Odyssey's final voyage. Both Barron and Potgieter were part of the original onboard team when the ship launched in 2009, when Barron served as the ship's first cruise director and Potgieter was part of the entertainment team. In addition, Seabourn President Natalya Leahy will be on board in Seattle to personally wish farewell to guests and the onboard team as they embark on this special voyage.
"Returning as cruise director for Seabourn Odyssey's Farewell Voyage is a heartfelt journey for me, filled with memories of her inception in the shipyard, the exhilaration of her maiden voyage, and the joy of witnessing guests embark on her for the first time," said Barron. "I'm thrilled to co-host this voyage with my dear friend Handré. We will celebrate 15 years of unforgettable moments, friendships, and the legacy Seabourn Odyssey leaves behind. This final voyage promises to be a magical 'full circle' experience, brimming with emotion and sweet surprises, as we bid farewell to our beloved ship."
Potgieter echoes Barron's sentiment, "What a beautiful 'full-circle' Seabourn Moment for us both. Seabourn Odyssey is really where my journey with Seabourn started, and it feels like I'm coming back home. It will be an incredibly special voyage, and I am very excited to share this final chapter with our many loyal guests, amazing onboard team and colleagues, Belinda King and John."
The farewell voyage will offer special entertainment and activities, including:
During the 22-day Farewell Voyage, Seabourn Odyssey will traverse the glacial scenery of Alaska's southern reaches, visit the wildlife havens of Kodiak Island and Dutch Harbor, and explore the cultural enclaves of Japan's Hokkaido Island to revel in the first turn of fall foliage.
Seabourn Odyssey will visit 11 ports and destinations, including five in Japan across two islands. Highlights include the following:
During her 15 years at Seabourn, Seabourn Odyssey has welcomed 180,454 guests on board and traveled over 859,554 nautical miles to 426 different ports, a distance equivalent to a staggering 39.7 circumnavigations of the world's equator. Along the way, the ship has become synonymous with ultra-luxury and excellence, serving up to 4 tons of caviar and 13 million breadsticks and pouring more than 300,000 bottles of champagne.

Seabourn Odyssey will visit 11 ports and destinations, including five in Japan across two islands. Highlights include the following:
- Kodiak Island: With two-thirds of the island covered by a national wildlife refuge, Kodiak is the ultimate escape with large stretches of private wilderness and beaches to enjoy and reflect. Guests may want to catch a glimpse of the island's eponymous bears or enjoy Fort Abercrombie and step into Kodiak's World War II defense encampment and military museum.
- Hubbard Glacier - Cruising the Hubbard Glacier is the quintessential Alaska experience as you navigate past towering icy walls and feel the rumble of the glacial calving. The Hubbard is North America's longest tidewater glacier and continues to impress as she "gallops" forward and continues to grow.
- Hakodate, Japan - One of Hokkaido's largest cities, Seabourn Odyssey will arrive just in time to see start of Japan's fall foliage. A key highlight here is a gondola ride to the top of Mount Hakodate to take in the city vistas and enjoy a sample of Hokkaido's extraordinary natural beauty.
During her 15 years at Seabourn, Seabourn Odyssey has welcomed 180,454 guests on board and traveled over 859,554 nautical miles to 426 different ports, a distance equivalent to a staggering 39.7 circumnavigations of the world's equator.
