30-Day Cruise from Miami to Explore the Amazon River

Seabourn has announced a new 30-day cruise from Miami sailing up the Amazon River. Seabourn Quest will depart PortMiami on November 18, 2028, and return December 18, 2028, visiting 15 destinations in seven countries as part of the line's Ruby Jubilee year celebrating its 40th anniversary. The itinerary runs from the Caribbean into the Amazon, with a highlighted overnight stay in Manaus, plus stops at Santarém, Boca da Valeria, Parintins, Devils Island in French Guiana, and Caribbean calls including Saint Barthelemy, Trinidad and Grenada. Prices start at $13,499 per person for an ocean view cabin, $17,999 for a balcony, $31,499 for a Penthouse Suite, and $37,799 for Owner's Suite and above. Afterward, Seabourn Quest will sail two 10-day Caribbean cruises before departing on a 138-day world cruise.

📝 Mark's Take

Seabourn is using its 40th-anniversary Ruby Jubilee year to launch something more ambitious than a typical Caribbean run: a 30-day Amazon itinerary on Seabourn Quest, priced from $13,499 for an ocean view to $37,799 for Owner's Suite and above. My read is this targets loyal, high-spending repeat cruisers who already have the shorter itineraries checked off and want bragging rights on a river few ships attempt. The overnight in Manaus and the stop at Devils Island are the kind of details that justify the premium over standard Caribbean pricing. It also sets up a busy season for the ship, two 10-day Caribbean sailings followed by a 138-day world cruise, so Seabourn Quest is clearly getting worked hard in 2028. If I were booking, I'd budget well past the ocean view rate given how suite categories jump in price, and I'd lock in early given the multi-country logistics involved.
