Sarah Bretz, ContributorSeabourn has announced that it has modified its spring 2025 itineraries for Seabourn Encore to include a new series of voyages to Asia, Hawaii, the Panama Canal, and the Mediterranean.
The luxury ship’s new deployment features 36 destinations in 18 countries. There will be many firsts for Encore, including 18 maiden calls, the ship’s first Panama Canal transit, and its first visit to the United States. Guests who book by November 19, 2024 can enjoy a 10 percent savings on the ship’s revised 2025 sailings.
Seabourn Encore was originally scheduled to sail westbound from Asia to Europe. However, changes were made to the original itineraries to prioritize the safety of guests and the ship and avoid the Red Sea. Instead, the vessel will now head eastbound from Singapore to Dubrovnik, traveling nearly 20,000 nautical miles across four continents and two oceans.
The ship’s first visits to the U.S. will be in Hawaii, California, and Miami in March and April 2025. The ship will also visit two new ports of call in Japan for Seabourn: Tokushima — known for its serene landscapes — and Wakayama — 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.
The new voyages range from seven to 25 days and may be combined for longer sailings up to 53 days.
Seabourn Encore‘s revised 2025 sailings are now open for booking.
