Seabourn Encore’s Exciting New Voyages in Spring 2025

Seabourn, the leader in ultra-luxury cruising and expedition travel, has announced a series of new voyages for Seabourn Encore in spring 2025. Between March and May 2025, the new deployment will take guests to 36 destinations in 18 countries, including Southeast Asia, Japan, Hawaii, the Panama Canal, and the Mediterranean.

A Journey of Firsts

The new itineraries feature many “firsts” for Seabourn Encore, including 18 maiden calls , the ship’s first transit through the historic Panama Canal and its first-ever visit to the U.S. Guests who book by November 19, 2024, can enjoy a special 10 percent savings on new bookings made on Seabourn Encore’s revised 2025 voyages.

Originally, Seabourn Encore was scheduled to sail westbound from Asia to Europe. However, changes were made to prioritise guests’ safety and avoid the Red Sea. Instead, the ship will head eastbound from Singapore to Dubrovnik, travelling nearly 20,000 nautical miles across four continents and two oceans.

Maiden Calls and New Ports

Seabourn Encore will make 18 maiden calls, including its first transit through the Panama Canal and its maiden visit to the U.S., in Hawaii, California, and Miami in March and April 2025. The ship will also visit two new ports of call in Japan that have never been visited by the Seabourn fleet – Tokushima, renowned for its serene landscapes, and Wakayama, which is celebrated for its beautiful temples and coastal scenery. Additional itinerary highlights include overnight calls in Honolulu, Hawaii; Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam; Kobe, Japan; and evening departures from Yokohama, Japan; Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; and Cartagena, Colombia.

Onboard Entertainment

Also new on select voyages will be a bespoke, curated onboard entertainment program featuring a star-studded line-up of performers and guest speakers. Additional details will be announced soon.

“We are pleased to offer these new and exciting voyages on our beautiful Seabourn Encore to visit and explore a diverse range of destinations,” said Natalya Leahy, president of Seabourn. “We are proud to mark Seabourn’s maiden visits to two brand-new ports, giving guests the unique chance to experience two enchanting destinations in Japan with our signature ultra-luxury service. We hope guests will take advantage of our special offer and join Seabourn Encore as she sails to a number of destinations for the very first time.”
