Seabourn has revealed the entertainment program for its 2026 “World Cruise – Ring of Fire: Hidden Gems,” departing aboard Seabourn Sojourn from Long Beach on January 6th, 2026. The 129-day circumnavigation promises more than 28,000 nautical miles of immersive experience, visiting 63 ports across 14 countries with extended stays and two crossings of the International Date Line, and shorter segments available for those unable to commit to the full journey.
The artistic program is extensive. On the Hawaii & French Polynesia leg, Grammy-nominated ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro performs in Honolulu on January 13th, followed by Brazilian jazz guitarist Diego Figueiredo on the same segment. For the Indonesia & Philippines leg, Grammy-nominated vocalist Christine Allado brings her stage-honed presence, and Ashley Campbell, known for her Americana storytelling, features on the Jewels of Japan segment.
Classical performers anchor other segments: pianist Congyu Wang headlines the South Pacific & New Zealand sailings, Van-Anh Nguyen appears on the Southern Australian Coasts segment, Nurry Lee performs during the Japan circumnavigation, while Dominic Ferris and the theatrical string quartet Bowjangles entertain on the Golden Week to Glacier Bay leg.
Contemporary flair is supplied by jukebox-style tribute acts portraying Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash, Celine Dion, and Neil Diamond, supported by a full roster of comedians, magicians, dancers, and musicians.
Original productions and resident ensembles add depth to the offering. The one-man stage piece Being Mr. Wickham, starring Adrian Lukis in celebration of Jane Austen, is featured on the Japan segment. A new variety show, V for Variety, produced by Belinda King Creative Productions, is presented across all segments by two distinct performance casts. The ship’s house ensemble, The Band—led by pianist Eugene Kudriashov with vocalists Annegreeth Brandsma and Rylynn Woods—supports all production shows and visiting entertainers. Additional musical ambiance is supplied by Charlie Pothecary, a “living jukebox,” and the returning club quartet, The Four Tunes.
