The Seabourn Odyssey recently completed its final season in Alaska for Seabourn.

After completing a final cruise in the region earlier this month, the luxury ship, which was sold to Mitsui Ocean Cruises, is set to be delivered to its new owners in late September.

Wrapping up the ship’s 15-year career with Seabourn, the farewell season in Alaska and Canada ended on Aug. 22, 2024.

The program included a series of seven- to 14-night itineraries across the region departing from Vancouver and Juneau.

Featured ports of call included Ketchikan, Sitka, Icy Strait Point, Haines, Wrangell, Prince Rupert, Alert Bay and more.

Now docked in Vancouver, the 450-guest ship is being prepared for its final sailing for Seabourn: a 22-day Farewell Voyage.

The special sailing will feature tributes to Seabourn Odyssey’s greatest moments, including appearances from the original team and performing cast, local artists, and gifts.

John Barron and Handré Potgieter, who were part of the original onboard team when the ship launched in 2009, will return as cruise directors during the voyage.

Seabourn’s president Natalya Leahy will also be onboard in Seattle to personally wish farewell to guests and the onboard team as they set sail to Japan.

Sailing from Seattle to Yokohama, the one-way itinerary features visits to 11 destinations in Alaska and Asia, such as Homer, Dutch Harbor, Kushiro and Miyako.

After the sailing, the Seabourn Odyssey is set to be delivered to the MOL Group, who acquired it from Carnival Corporation back in 2023.

Renamed Mitsui Ocean Fuji, the 32,500-guest vessel will be operated by MOL’s new cruise brand, Mitsui Ocean Fuji, starting later this year.

The company aims to build a luxury cruise operation in Japan, with cruises to various parts of Asia aimed at both the domestic and international markets.

Built by the T. Mariotti shipyard in Italy, the Seabourn Odyssey is the first in a series of three ships that also include the Seabourn Sojourn and the Seabourn Quest.

As the first new ship delivered to the brand in nearly two decades, the vessel originally entered service on June 19, 2009.
