Seabourn‘s new ultra-luxury purpose-built expedition ship, Seabourn Venture, will feature a new Bow Lounge directly focusing passenger attention outward.

Located at the forward-most part of the vessel, the Bow Lounge features the closest access to water level, making it the best location to look for marine life.

The Bow Lounge will introduce some technological enhancements, providing guests with a first for Seabourn with: 

• Touch screens showing the ship’s plotted location, navigational charts and scientific information used to help guide the ship on its journey.
• Live views from mounted cameras outside the ship
• Live views from a drone when conditions permit
• Expedition Team members will be on hand to interact with guests
• King Of The World– The space will also provide direct access to the Bow Sprit on Deck 6 forward to emulate “standing in front of the ship, waves parting and ice sloughing off the bow at the waterline.” Nevermind the name of the film from which that idea came.
• Pantry in the Bow Lounge is one of eight dining experiences on Seabourn expedition ships featuring self-serve freshly prepared light fare and refreshments.

“While we can’t put Seabourn guests in the captain’s chair on the bridge, the Bow Lounge  helps guests feel like they are part of the action because of the position at the very front of the ship along with information like maps and charts displayed on touch screens.”

Richard Meadows, president of Seabourn
