Redefining ultra luxury, Seabourn Encore offers all 600 fortunate guests the perfect setting in which to comfortably discover the world and travel well.
Mirroring the casual elegance and relaxed luxury of sister ship Seabourn Odyssey, but with an additional deck and additional restaurant to enjoy, guests can expect exceptional dining experiences with a unique style of heartfelt hospitality. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply savouring that idyllic moment at sea, Seabourn Encore comes fitted for your every need.
Indoor and outdoor guest areas of Seabourn Encore have been imagined and designed by legendary hospitality design icon Adam D. Tihany. Tihany’s creative touch can be seen throughout multiple dining venues, the casino and lounge areas, outdoor deck areas and even the Spa at Seabourn. Aiming to wow, welcome and add an element of surprise, Adam D. Tihany’s vision has resulted in a unique sailing experience, enveloping Seabourn’s exquisite attention to detail and aura of casual elegance.
A true 6 star cruise line, Seabourn offers an award winning gourmet dining experience that rivals the finest restaurants in the world.
Guests can enjoy open seated dining in The Restaurant, allowing them to dine when and with whom they wish. The Restaurant is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner, serving up a delightful array of freshly prepared dishes by Seabourn’s excellent and talented team of chefs. Meanwhile, The Colonnade offers a colourful and casual alternative with bountiful buffets and regionally themed dinners. If fresh Japanese cuisine appeals to you then Sushi is guaranteed to delighted, or for a revamped version of 50’s and 60’s American classics, The Grill by Thomas Keller is well worth a visit.
Poolside venue, The Patio, serves up speciality hamburgers, grilled chicken and seafood, freshly made pizzas and more amongst a tranquil top deck poolside setting. Alternatively, guests who wish to dine in the privacy of their suite can do so with a round-the-clock menu of tempting selections, delivered directly to their door thanks to Room Service.
When taking a break from the desirable and destination filled itinerary, guests can enjoy life onboard Seabourn Encore in a multitude of ways:
The onboard luxury of Seabourn Encore continues into the activities on offer. Popular amongst veteran cruisers, the card room is a great choice for those craving a bit of lazy leisure and the chance to socialise with other guests. If you’d prefer to spend your time relaxing outside in the sun, head to the pool where, after doing a few lengths, you can spend the rest of the afternoon in a sun lounger, sipping on your favourite drink and reading the new book you bought especially for your holiday.
The Spa at Seabourn offers a wide range of techno gym equipment, Motion Studios, Professional Personal Trainers, Pilates and much more. Guests can also relax and unwind with complimentary Massage Moments on deck.
This was our third cruise on board the Encore, and we loved it. Food and drinks were amazing, with no expense spared, especially at the Thomas Keller grill. Professional, yet friendly staff and a very comfortable ship. Our only slight reservations are the availability and speed of wifi connection and the quality of excursions offered, (we booked our own, independently). Rated as a 6
WE have sailed on all Seabourn ships,from the smallest,the medium,Odyssey,Quest and Sojourn and now the "Flagship that would blow you away" the Encore. Yes the ship is beautiful,the suites are fine as are the public spaces.Only THE GRAND SALON deck 6 is too small,therefore there are TWO shows now.The result is that the dining room is too small for the people who want to see the 8.45 show,it is a cafetaria,with sweating waiters,wine throwing sommeliers,very average food,unhappy customers. As a whole after many happy sailings no more Seabourn for us.When complaining to Seabourn headquarters,the answer was: We are sorry,but your complaint is not typical and have a nice continuation! Well there goes "The best small ship line!! Why not rename Seabourn in Carnaval Boutique?
Show moreAfter reading the one and only shocking review I had to give my opinion. We went on the second leg of the inaugural cruise over Xmas and New year. It was its usual high standard in all areas. We have cruised with this line for about 8 times and have been more than happy. Have booked again in December on one of their other ships which we have cruised before. Will leave a comment after that one.
