Ultra-luxury suites on Seabourn’s new expedition vessel

Seabourn is excited to introduce the luxurious Seabourn Pursuit, the second purpose-built expedition vessel in its fleet. With a launch scheduled for Summer 2023, Seabourn Pursuit will offer 132 oceanfront veranda suites, providing guests with a comfortable and elevated experience during their voyage.

Tihany Design, led by Founder Adam D. Tihany and Managing Partner Alessia Genova, has created sumptuous interiors for Seabourn Pursuit. The design combines comfort, elegance, and ruggedness, with color palettes, materials, and textures that reflect Seabourn’s signature luxury. Every detail, including retro-style light switches, showcases the thoughtfulness and custom design of Tihany Design.

The suite accommodations on Seabourn Pursuit consist of 132 individual oceanfront suites, each with a private ocean-view veranda. These suites offer a spacious living area, a choice of a queen-size bed or two twin beds, a walk-in closet, an interactive TV with music and movies, a fully stocked bar and refrigerator, a writing desk with personalized stationery, and a makeup vanity. The marble guest bathrooms are generously sized and feature a full tub, separate shower, and luxury beauty products.

One unique feature of the suites is the built-in heated jacket wardrobe, allowing guests to quickly dry their outdoor gear, including the complimentary PolarShield Parka, or warm their coats on cool mornings before venturing out. Additional amenities include a personal safe, plush robes, slippers, and a hairdryer. The bedding is luxurious, with a custom-built mattress, comfortable cotton linens, a fluffy all-season duvet, and a selection of firm or soft pillows. The in-suite bar is regularly replenished with a variety of beverages, including complimentary wines and spirits upon request. Guests can also enjoy access to favorite newspapers and magazines through the complimentary PressReader app on their personal devices. SWAROVSKI OPTIK binoculars are provided for guests to appreciate the natural beauty from a distance.

The exclusive custom furniture collection in the suites was developed by Tihany Design and manufactured by Italian furniture maker Roda, renowned for its craftsmanship and innovation. The bespoke furnishings feature wood and metal frames, textured fabric, and leather, combining luxury with ruggedness and setting a new standard for expedition cruise design. The suites also incorporate design elements inspired by maritime craftsmanship, such as natural curvilinear arches and parchment-inspired wall panels. Digitally printed wall laminate material mimics wood with intricate details, while heated flooring with wooden-look tiles adds a touch of warmth. Custom bedside panels feature toggle switches, an analog clock, and a fold-away reading lamp. The carpeting showcases organic shapes, and premium bedding and accessories ensure supreme relaxation, with custom-designed blankets and finely textured throws made from sustainable materials.
