Our take · opinion

All-suite luxury, still yacht-close

Seabourn Encore is all-inclusive, all-suite luxury for couples who want Thomas Keller evenings and attentive service without megaship noise. We’d book her when itinerary and suite living matter more than production spectacle.

We experience Seabourn Encore as ultra-luxury all-suite cruising with yacht-leaning service and open-seating dining included in the fare. She is larger than Odyssey-class Seabourn sisters, yet still intimate versus any premium megaship that sells cover charges and production scale. Days can include marina water sports or a Caviar in the Surf beach barbecue, while evenings stay soft in the Grand Salon, Observation Bar, and The Club.

Every stateroom is a suite with a private veranda, from entry verandah suites up through Penthouse Suites, Grand Suites, and Owner’s Suites with separate lounge living that feels residential. We still advise on which deck and proximity to public rooms matter for sleepers, even on an all-suite ship where most categories look polished in photos. Ask us before you stretch to a forward penthouse solely for square footage on a brochure plan.

Dining is all-inclusive and flexible across The Restaurant, The Colonnade, Patio Grill, the sushi venue, and The Grill by Thomas Keller. Versus smaller Odyssey-class ships, Encore adds venues and deck space with a slight space-per-guest tradeoff that matters if true yacht intimacy is your filter. Confirm the Mediterranean or Asia sailing below and we will match suite tier to how much in-suite living you actually use at sea.

She's for
  • Couples booking ultra-luxury all-inclusive weeks
  • Travellers who want every suite to include a private veranda
  • Food-focused guests eyeing The Grill by Thomas Keller
  • Shoppers who prefer yacht-scale service over megaship thrills
She's not for
  • Families needing kids clubs and high-energy waterparks
  • Budget shoppers comparing mainstream megaship pricing
  • Guests who want Broadway-scale production as the main event
Honest caveat

She’s larger than Odyssey-class Seabourn—more venues, slightly less space per guest. If true yacht intimacy is the priority, ask us before you lock Encore over a smaller sister.

The record · ship background

Seabourn Encore, on paper

Show ship backgroundHide ship background

Seabourn Encore was built at Fincantieri Marghera (keel September 2015, launched March 2016) and delivered in November 2016 as sister by design to Seabourn Ovation. Versus Odyssey-class Seabourn ships she is roughly 26% larger by volume and about one-third higher in double-occupancy capacity. She adds an extra deck and expanded public rooms while carrying slightly less space per guest than the smaller sisters.

All accommodations are suites with private verandas, with interiors by Adam Tihany’s studio and a christening by godmother Sarah Brightman in Singapore in January 2017. The inaugural “Gems of the Java Sea” voyage ran Singapore to Benoa, Bali. Onboard debuts included a Tim Rice production show and an Andrew Weil wellness program across the Spa at Seabourn.

Deployment typically rotates Mediterranean seasons from hubs such as Barcelona, Athens, Rome, Venice, or Istanbul, with Asian seasons and seasonal Suez Canal repositioning between regions. Confirm this sailing’s homeport and itinerary on the page below before treating any hub as permanent.
