Seabourn has partnered with UNESCO to offer travellers exclusive access to some of the world’s most diverse World Heritage sites, including the Philippine Rice Terraces, India’s Taj Mahal, and the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland.
For a small additional fee, passengers can enjoy bespoke tours where a portion of the proceeds goes directly to the preservation of these sites. Seabourn is committed to raising USD 1 million over six years for this cause. As part of this collaboration, the tours are led by experts, such as archaeologists, historians, and geologists, who offer unique insights and exclusive knowledge.
These World Heritage Discovery Tours are designed to be immersive experiences. You might find yourself enjoying traditional musical performances, meeting local preservationists, or even exploring a walled city alongside a professional archaeologist.
Here are some UNESCO heritage sites you can visit on Seabourn:
Borobudur, Java
The excavated ruins of Pompeii, Italy
The Taj Mahal in Agra, India
