(TAN): Seabourn has signed an agreement with outdoor apparel company Helly Hansen, who will become the “Official Apparel Partner” for the cruise brand as it continues to grow and expand its offering in the expedition travel market through its forthcoming ultra-luxury purpose-built expedition ships and Ventures by Seabourn optional shore excursion program.
Helly Hansen has been outfitting professionals working in the elements for 142 years. The company currently offers a selection of high-quality sports and outdoor apparel, footwear, and accessories. Helly Hansen gear is worn and trusted by professionals on oceans, mountains, and in some of the world’s harshest environments.
“We’re very excited to work together with an outfitter who has an established heritage and passion for innovation in the outdoor apparel industry,” said Robin West, vice president of Expedition Operations for Seabourn. “Seabourn and Helly Hansen have a shared view that the world around us has so much insight and fulfillment to offer, and with the right gear, travelers can enjoy these places no matter the conditions.”
Under the agreement, Helly Hansen will be the sole provider of outdoor gear for guests and the expedition teams. On sailings to the Polar regions, Seabourn will provide complimentary Helly Hansen jackets and backpacks to its guests. The PolarShield parkas have been custom-designed by Seabourn and Helly Hansen, featuring a Helly Tech outer shell coupled with a removable insulator puff jacket inside. A custom-designed Helly Hansen waterproof WaterShield backpack will also be provided.
“Helly Hansen’s legacy of outfitting professionals on the open ocean for more than 140 years has helped people stay and feel alive in the most remote destinations in the world,” said Øyvind Vedvik, Category Managing Director of Sailing at Helly Hansen. “Seabourn is a world-class leader in ocean-based explorations and Helly Hansen is honored to take part in their journey by outfitting their crew and guests with professional grade outerwear, layering systems and accessories that provide the utmost comfort and safety.”
