This October, Seabourn, the leader in ultra-luxury voyages and expedition travel, will take over Sydney’s luxury floating villa, Lilypad Palm Beach, to welcome guests with an immersive hospitality experience, that is now available for bookings.
For two weeks from 1 to 14 October 2023, guests are able to book Lilypad Palm Beach for an overnight staycation and opt into Seabourn’s luxury experience package.
The collaboration provides Australians with a taste for the Seabourn expedition lifestyle right on their doorstep, setting the stage for the arrival of Seabourn’s luxury expedition voyages aboard its new purpose-built ultra-luxury expedition vessel, Seabourn Pursuit.
Guests will not only receive Lilypad’s luxury onboard features, but they will also be provided with Seabourn’s iconic Champagne and Caviar service, amenities as they would receive onboard one of their expedition ships, plus a curated Seabourn Expedition itinerary, which allows guests to explore the surrounding ocean and nature, accessing private beaches and idyllic spots that you can’t reach from land.

In its transformation, Lilypad Palm Beach will be adorned with Seabourn amenities and expedition inspired experiences to replicate one of their luxurious onboard suites, from Molton Brown toiletries and plush Seabourn robes to wellness and water adventures on the harbour.
For those eager for exploration, guests can enjoy the natural landscapes that surround Lilypad Palm Beach and seize adventure through activities such as kayaking and swimming or take their self-drive boat to a secluded beach and hike through nearby national parks in the hopes of spotting some wildlife.
Following a day of activity on their own expedition, guests can wind down for the evening with sunset yoga on the Lilypad Palm Beach deck. An infrared sauna, similar to those available on Seabourn expedition ships, offers the ultimate recovery indulgence, providing a space to decompress while taking in the views of the natural surroundings.
This sneak peek experience ahead of the anticipated Kimberley itinerary debut is now available for bookings at lilypadpalmbeach.com/seabournstay starting from $2830 per night. Seabourn Pursuit entered service on 12 August 2023 in Europe, and will sail to South America, the Amazon, Antarctica and South Pacific before making its way to Australian shores in June 2024 as Seabourn embarks on expedition journeys through the Kimberley region for the first time.
Seabourn expedition voyages in the Arctic, South Pacific, Antarctica and beyond aboard Seabourn Pursuit and Seabourn Venture for 2024 and 2025 are also now on sale.
