Seabourn Encore
Seabourn — Encore class
The ship that grew Seabourn without diluting it — the Encore class began here in 2016.
Seabourn Encore answered a delicate question in 2016: how does a famously small-ship line get bigger without losing the point. Her answer was proportion — around 40,350 tons for 600 guests, a step up from the Odyssey class that kept the all-suite rule and the clubby scale while adding dining and deck space. The class that took her name proved the math and produced a sister.
Her seasons favor the Mediterranean and the Greek Isles and Adriatic, with Asia extending the year. Port-rich water suits her — the ship empties easily on harbor mornings, and the open bars never present arithmetic in the evening.

Seabourn Encore Highlights
The Scale-Up That Worked
Encore grew the Seabourn formula to 600 guests without breaking the social physics — still all suites, still a ship where faces repeat and the bar staff remember.
Mediterranean and Eastward
Her calendar runs the Mediterranean and Adriatic in season and reaches into Asia beyond it — itineraries with enough ports to justify the line’s unhurried port-day culture.
The Encore-Class Blueprint
As the class’s earliest ship she defined its layout — more venues and open deck than the Odyssey-class ships, arranged to keep the small-ship feel intact.

Seabourn Encore: FAQs
What class is Seabourn Encore?
She opened the Encore class in 2016 and shares it with Seabourn Ovation. The class runs larger than the line’s Odyssey-class ships — around 40,350 tons and 600 guests — while holding to the all-suite, socially small formula.
Where does Seabourn Encore cruise?
The Mediterranean and the Greek Isles and Adriatic form her core, with Asian seasons broadening the map. These are port-forward itineraries — expect frequent harbor mornings rather than long ocean crossings.
Encore or one of the smaller Seabourn ships?
Choose Encore for more choice on board — additional dining and more open deck — and the Odyssey-class ships for maximum intimacy or their more unusual routings. The service culture is a constant either way, so itinerary and scale preference should decide it.
