Dust off your designer luggage and get ready to embark on grand journeys onboard the newest vessels to set sail in recent years.
Seabourn Venture by Seabourn
Equipped to sail to frigid polar regions, the Seabourn Venture has been specifically designed for expedition journeys. It comes available with tons of outdoor equipment, including 24 Zodiacs ready to transport guests through icy waters to get spectacular up-close-and-personal views of wildlife. There are also double sea kayaks, bikes, and other active equipment on hand. But it’s the pair of 6-person submarines—perfect for exploring the underwater world—that make this vessel a standout.
Viking Octantis by Viking Ocean
Though Viking is known for ultra-posh river cruises, its newest luxury cruise ship is the Viking Octantis, a Polar Class ship ready for expeditions to the most remote corners of the world. Since January 2022, it has sailed to Antarctica, South America, and Canada. And since it’s an all-veranda vessel, you can rest assured you’ll never miss the best sights, as balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows give you a front row seat to the glorious panoramas.
Azamara Onward by Azamara
While Azamara Onward is technically not a new build, Azamara’s fourth ship in the fleet has been refurbished from top to bottom to have the same refined feel as the line’s other ships. Starting in May 2022, this vessel whisked cruisers to dreamy destinations such as Greece, Croatia, and Italy. Itineraries focus on immersing cruisers in the destinations—longer stays in port, more overnights, and unique night touring give you the chance to get an in-depth look at the places you visit. Perks like 24-hour room service and five-star butler service make you feel pampered.
Evrima by Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
Of all the new luxury cruise ships debuting in 2022, this one might be the most exciting. Evrima is the first ship from this renowned luxury hospitality brand, which has decided to dip its toes into the world of cruising. Starting in May 2022, this high-end yacht began sailing to sun-soaked destinations in the Caribbean, Europe, and the Mediterranean. When you’re not exploring palm-studded coastlines, you can opt for soothing treatment in the exquisite spa or thrill your palate at one of the onboard restaurants serving world-class cuisine.
Viking Mississippi by Viking River
Built in Louisiana and debuting in July 2022, the Viking Mississippi is the first vessel for Viking River to sail along the famed Mississippi River, crisscrossing North American terrain. The newest luxury cruise ship from this line features the Scandinavian design the brand is known for, along with the charm and grace of the South. There are so many epic destinations to travel to via this ship—itineraries include voyages from New Orleans to St. Louis, Memphis, and St. Paul. Along with breathtaking scenery, you’ll also get the opportunity to hear the musical traditions and learn about the distinct cultures that make these destinations unique.
