Part of the fleet
Seabourn
Intimate ultra-luxury — 458-to-600-guest all-suite ships, an open-bar culture and a marina that folds out of the stern.
- Introduced
- 2016
- Gross tonnage
- 40,350 GT
- Capacity
- 600 guests
Encore and Ovation are stretched Odyssey-class hulls with an additional accommodation deck, taking capacity to 600 guests while retaining the same overall design language.
The extra space funds a dedicated Sushi restaurant, a larger Retreat sun-deck enclave with private cabanas and a whirlpool, and an enlarged Grill by Thomas Keller.
Both were designed by Adam D. Tihany and carry a more contemporary interior than the earlier trio, with lighter finishes and a redesigned Seabourn Square lounge and concierge hub.
