Seabourn guests on select sailings can now enjoy a distinctive culinary adventure. The Cook Your Catch program invites passengers aboard Seabourn Sojourn on Ultimate Alaska voyages to catch seafood that the ship’s chefs will prepare for dinner. These expeditions take place in the waters of Alaska and British Columbia and combine hands-on fishing with scenic wildlife viewing.
The experience is offered in several prime locations. Guests can board a cabin cruiser in Icy Strait to try for halibut, or head into Clover Passage where eagles, whales, seals and sea lions are often visible while anglers pursue salmon. Sitka Sound provides opportunities to catch king, silver, chum and pink salmon, while the Inside Passage offers Pacific Ocean fishing where success depends on current conditions and seasonal patterns. Each setting gives participants a chance to fish in striking natural surroundings.
Seabourn’s program is designed for anglers of varying skill levels. Knowledgeable guides lead outings and select the best fishing spots, while the ship’s culinary team prepares the day’s catch for an evening meal. The combination of expert guidance, prime waters and onboard food preparation aims to create a memorable, low-effort way for guests to enjoy fresh, locally sourced seafood.
“People fish all over the world, but few opportunities measure up to those we’ve created for guests with the Cook Your Catch experience surrounded by the beauty of Alaska this summer,” said Gerald Mosslinger, vice president of hotel operations, Seabourn. With experienced guides and culinary staff handling preparation, the program offers both excitement and convenience for guests who want to take part in catching—and dining on—their own seafood.
The Cook Your Catch experience is one of several shore and onboard activities that enhance Seabourn’s Alaska sailings. By combining active excursions with fine dining and wildlife viewing, the offering reflects the region’s natural abundance and the line’s focus on luxury, personalized experiences. Guests interested in participating should check availability on select Ultimate Alaska itineraries and reserve their spot in advance, as opportunities may be limited and seasonal.
