Luxury line Seabourn has made a historic discovery during one of its submersible trips. It discovered the wreck of a ship missing for more than a century earlier this week. The WW1 ship Titania sank off Alejandro Selkirk Island in Chile's Juan Fernández Archipelago in 1914. The discovery was made during a submersible experience from Seabourn Pursuit. “This discovery is nothing short of historic," said Robin West, vice president and general manager of expeditions at Seabourn. He said the ship is located 95 metres below the water. "Our submarine explorations often take our guests to places where no other human has ever explored. I am so incredibly proud of our expedition team for delivering this once-in-a-lifetime 'Seabourn Moment." The Seabourn team discovered the Titania about 4.25 nautical miles off the northwest coast of Selkirk with the help of a local fisherman. Titania was scuttled on November 19, 1914. Local fishermen occasionally found metal fragments in their lobster traps they believed belonged to the ship, but the wreck had never been officially located until now. It happened during one of Seabourn Pursuit's South Pacific voyages which traversed more than 4,000 miles between Melanesia, French Polynesia and San Antonio, Chile. The itineraries include Easter Island; visiting the Pitcairn island group and the remote Yasawa Islands of Fiji. Seabourn will offer similar deployments in 2025 featuring four voyages on Seabourn Pursuit: a pair of 20-day voyages departing March 18, 2025 from San Antonio, Chile to Papeete, Tahiti; and October 10, 2025 from Papeete to San Antonio. Also scheduled is an 18-day voyage from Papeete to Sydney departing April 7, 2025; and a 16-day Remote Shores of New Guinea & Indonesia departing April 24, 2025, from Sydney to Darwin.

In late February 2024, Seabourn Venture will make a once-in-a-lifetime crossing of the Atlantic encompassing the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, Tristan da Cunha, and Ascension Island. In March and April, the ship will take two sailings up the West Coast of Africa and Europe to be in position for the 2024 Arctic season.   Exploration, Adventure, and Luxurious Comfort Both Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit offer the same luxurious small ship experience that travelers have come to expect from Seabourn, enhanced by world-class equipment that allows the line to offer its widest range of expedition activities led by an expert 24-person expedition team of scientists, scholars, naturalists, and more. Designed and built for remote, diverse environments to PC6 Polar Class standards, the ship includes a plethora of modern hardware and technology that extends the ship's global deployment and capabilities. There is close to 30,000 square feet of deck space and special touches at every turn, as well as indoor and outdoor guest areas with nearly 270-degree views. In addition, a 4K GSS Cineflex Camera is mounted on the mast of the Constellation Lounge and capable of broadcasting imagery from miles ahead on monitors located throughout the ship and in guest suites.   The ships are also equipped with enhanced Wi-Fi connectivity with SpaceX's Starlink, providing its expedition guests with faster service, greater connectivity and more reliable Wi-Fi wherever Starlink's services are available.   Seabourn Pursuit and Seabourn Venture, like the rest of the ships in the Seabourn fleet, offer an abundance of space and elegance, eight dining experiences serving gourmet cuisine, and luxurious all-suite accommodations, including a pair of two-level Wintergarden suites.
