Seabourn has modified the spring 2025 itineraries for the Seabourn Encore to avoid the Red Sea region, the company announced in a press release.

The new deployment includes a series of voyages to Southeast Asia, Japan, Hawaii, the Panama Canal, and the Mediterranean between March and May 2025, the company added.

According to Seabourn, the new itineraries feature 36 destinations in 18 countries, and many firsts for the Seabourn Encore, including 18 maiden calls and the ship’s first transit through the Panama Canal.

The Encore will also make its first-ever visit to U.S. ports, with visits to destinations in Hawaii, California and Florida.

The new itineraries replace a series of cruises that were scheduled to sail during the period and would take the vessel westbound from Asia to Europe.

“Changes were made to the original planned itineraries to prioritize the safety of guests and to avoid the Red Sea. Instead, the ship will head eastbound from Singapore to Dubrovnik, traveling nearly 20,000 nautical miles across four continents and two oceans,” the company explained.

According to Seabourn, guests who book the revised itineraries by Nov. 19, 2024 can take advantage of  ten percent savings.

“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 the Seabourn Encore as she sails to a number of destinations for the very first time,” she added.

The new voyages range from seven to 25 days and may be combined for longer sailings up to 53-day global adventures.

The Seabourn Encore will make 18 maiden calls during the period, including its first transit through the Panama Canal and its maiden visit to the U.S., in Hawaii, California and Miami between March and April 2025.

The ship will also visit two new ports of call in Japan never before visited by the Seabourn fleet:Tokushima and Wakayama.

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.

Also new on select voyages will be a curated onboard entertainment program, featuring a lineup of performers and guest speakers. Additional details will be announced soon.
