Seabourn Quest, Seabourn Venturesand Gentoo Penguins After the Seabourn Quest departed the Falkland Islands it was a day at sea. Oh, but we had things to do! The first, and most feared thing: Cross the Drake Passage! With fear and trepidation our crossing actually started the evening before, but now we were deep into it.
