:help 'sessionoptions' says that by default, the value "tabpages" is included. Without this value, only the current tab page's windows are saved in the session file.

So, to have one session per tab page, you would :set sessionoptions-=tabpages, then :mksession as normal, and :source myniftysession.vim to load the session in a new tab page.
