Seabourn Encore is as strikingly beautiful and as excitingly innovative as any Seabourn has ever debuted. She crowns a fleet of luxury cruise ships that is already the newest, most modern and most acclaimed in the ultra-luxury segment.
A magical trip, in ultimate luxury, in the days when Myanmar was a highlighted overnighter, a super sampling of all the Far East and Middle East has to offer. Still a fantastic journey today without the Burma experience.
These are cruises which are exceptional and would be hard to beat.Every luxury you could want for attention unbeatable. Hard to compare to other cruise lines
Wonderful journey and itinerary around Adriatic and Dalmation coast including Slovenia / Croatia / Montenegro / North Greece and East Italy.
Ship was delightful. Staff, service, suite, food etc all excellent.
Limited entertainment but that is not a problem to us.
Ports of call were all interesting and enjoyable .
Maybe could have done with an etxra sea day.
Full marks to Seabourn and its team .
