We paid $9,000 a person for the cheapest cabin on an ultra-luxury expedition cruise. Here's what that price got us.
Mom and I went on an ultra-luxury Seabourn Pursuit expedition cruise through Australia. Here's what the cheapest room was like and if it's worth it.
For the budget-conscious traveler seeking an adventure through Australia's remote Kimberley coast, the Seabourn Pursuit expedition cruise offers a surprisingly affordable and worthwhile experience. Priced at approximately $8,795 per person, this entry-level suite proved to be a surprisingly good value. Despite being the least expensive category, the cabin featured ample storage space, a private balcony, and access to exciting excursions.
Travelers even received an unexpected upgrade to a midship V4 veranda suite on Deck 8, which provided a more stable experience during rough seas.
The 355-square-foot veranda suite, including a 75-square-foot balcony, was thoughtfully designed and never felt cramped. Divided into sleeping and living areas, the suite offered plenty of storage options, with a walk-in closet, drawers, shelves, and cabinets to accommodate all of the traveler's belongings. Spacious bathrooms with double vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower added to the overall comfort and convenience of the accommodation.
Though the Kimberley coast itinerary was packed with activities, the suite provided ample space for rest and relaxation between adventures. Travelers appreciated the customizable minibar, which was consistently stocked with preferred beverages, and the overall experience made the modest accommodations feel luxurious. As immersive as the experience was, the true value of the expedition lay in the unique and remote locations visited, guided by knowledgeable experts and complemented by exceptional onboard dining and amenities.
