Description

A new prototype built for the luxury brand Seabourn Cruise Line, Seabourn Encore is an enlarged version of the previous ships built for this brand. It is characterised by a very intimate and elegant interior designed by Adam Tihany with all the public spaces located in the aft part of the ship. It should be noted that the bow is reserved for passengers and this enables them to fully enjoy sailing (together with the splendid aft terraces). It has no covered swimming areas, so it is recommended for cruises in warm seas.

My Dream Cruise on the Seabourn Encore

I liked

Comment

I departed from Singapore with high expectations, but the Seabourn Encore exceeded them all. The ship is elegant, intimate, and the service was impeccable from the very first moment. My suite with a veranda was spacious, bright, and every detail was perfectly taken care of. The itinerary was fascinating: we spent two days in Saigon, exploring markets and the Cu Chi tunnels. In Da Nang and Hue, I visited the Imperial Citadel and enjoyed delicious street food. Hong Kong welcomed us with its vibrant energy and breathtaking views. Then Taipei, a perfect mix of ancient temples and modern city life, and finally Japan, which completely stole my heart: Kochi and Tokushima were authentic and surprising. On board I relaxed at The Retreat or enjoyed exceptional dinners at the restaurants curated by Thomas Keller. Every sunset at the Observation Bar felt like a painting. A perfect journey: an exciting itinerary, world-class service, and a ship that makes you feel truly special.

Comment

I had the privilege of experiencing something truly special aboard the Seabourn Encore during a cruise from Hong Kong to Singapore. From the very first moment, the quality of service and the luxury of the ship were evident. The Seabourn Encore is an elegant vessel with refined spaces and modern amenities, designed to offer an exclusive and comfortable experience. The cruise was perfect in every detail: from the departure from Hong Kong, where we admired the famous city skyline, to our arrival in Singapore, where we were greeted by the majestic Marina Bay Sands. Each day onboard was a journey of relaxation and comfort, with a spacious cabin and a spectacular view. The service on board was impeccable. The excursions during the journey were well-organized, providing us with a unique opportunity to explore the cities and cultures we encountered along the way. The onboard gastronomy was another highlight.

The staff made sure that we were relaxed throughout the journey, which made this experience really pleasant. Food and entertainment are two areas that need improvement.
