Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Seabourn Encore
A fantastic cruise aboard a really excellent ship. First class facilities and really good food and entertainment. A more boutique experience than a large ship with only 600 passengers. The food was very, very good and the staff really polite and attentive. A wonderful was to experience the Far East
Seabourn Encore. Immaculate ship; genuinely friendly and unfailingly helpful staff. Every meal was a good dining experience, especially in the Splis restaurant. Entertainment was in the singer/dancer/cabaret ste + virtuoso performances from specialist artists. Our suite (704) was a decent size albeit without a bath as we discovered . House keeping were excellent. Vietnam port visits were well organised albeit expensive when booked through Seabourn; plenty of local/private options. Fred shuttle buses into the city centres at every port. Onboard lectures were goid value. Cambodia visit was a bit of a non-event. We booked through IGLU incl flights, shire accom + transfers. HK accom at Harbourside Kowloon was more of a well licated 3* offering and definitely not 5*. Would not stay there again. Transfers good. Have booked for another Seabourn cruise, this time directly with Seabourn.
I booked the Seabourn Encore to celebrate our 60th Birthday. It did not disappoint. We had the most amazing time. The ship was wonderful, an a great size. The staff could not do enough for you. We were made to feel very special while we were there, with all the care and attention. The entertainment was exceptional and very versatile. There was plenty to do on the ship if you wanted to. Embarkation was easy and stress free as was disembarkation. Most wonderful trip. The ports we stopped in were great apart from Sihoukville in Cambodia. Im sure there are more beautiful places in Cambodia. Trips were a little expensive, however they were all so well planned an most enjoyable.
Apart from one unexpected issue which, to Seabourn’s credit they sorted quickly, this was a very enjoyable luxury cruise. We ate in the Restaurant every evening except one when we ate in Solis. Food was mainly excellent with a few OK’s. Our only issue was that the restaurant was not open for breakfast, something that was totally unexpected. First time we had experienced this on any cruise. Fortunately there were a number of guests who felt the same and Seabourn reacted quickly to rectify the situation.
