Seabourn Encore Review
Review of Seabourn Encore
The 2016-built Seabourn Encore cruise ship is one of the newest in the Seabourn fleet - with sistership Seabourn Ovation (2018).
The vessel (IMO number 9731171) is currently Bahamas-flagged (MMSI 311000464) and registered in Nassau.
History - construction and ownership
Seabourn Cruises is a top-luxury (all-inclusive) company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Seattle WA. Seabourn operates on global itineraries, ranging from the 7-day Caribbean to 100+day Around the World voyages. Since 1998, Seabourn is fully-owned by Carnival Corporation - world's largest passenger shipping company. Seabourn is a signature travel brand and a major player on the premium-cruising market, competing for head-on with Silversea and RSSC-Regent Seven Seas.
The 40,350-ton, 604-passenger cruise ship Seabourn Encore is a top luxury vessel with a surprising wealth of facilities. The ship is 26% larger than the older Seabourn ships Odyssey, Quest, and Sojourn. The ship's passenger capacity is bigger with 34%, but with just 6% less space per guest. In comparison, the ship also features an additional deck and expanded public areas.
Decks and Cabins
Seabourn Encore staterooms (302 total) are all in Suite categories (13 grades).

The boat has 12 decks, of which 10 are passenger-accessible and 7 with cabins.
