Seabourn has modified its spring 2025 itineraries for Seabourn Encore due to the ongoing conflict in the Red Sea. The luxury cruise line has responded by introducing a series of new voyages to Southeast Asia, Japan, Hawaii, the Panama Canal and the Mediterranean between March and May 2025.

The new deployment features 36 destinations in 18 countries, and many “firsts” for Seabourn Encore, including 18 maiden calls and the ship’s first transit through the historical Panama Canal, plus its first-ever visit to the United States. Guests making new bookings by 19 November 2024, will receive a 10% savings on Seabourn Encore‘s revised 2025 voyages.

Seabourn Encore – 2025 Redeployment

Seabourn Encore was originally scheduled to sail westbound from Asia to Europe. However, Seabourn said changes were made to the original planned itineraries to prioritise the safety of guests and to 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.

Seabourn Encore will make 18 maiden calls, including its first transit through the Panama Canal and its maiden visit to the US, in Hawaii, California and Miami in March and April 2025. The ship will also visit two new ports of call in Japan never before visited by the Seabourn fleet – Tokushima, renowned 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 City, Vietnam; Kobe, Japan; and evening departures from Yokohama, Japan; Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and Cartagena, Colombia.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 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,” said Natalya Leahy, President of Seabourn. “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.”

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

• 2 March 2025 – 14-Day Southeast Asia & Japan, from Singapore to Kobe
• 16 March 2025 – 25-Day Japan & Hawaiian Islands Pacific Crossing, from Kobe to Long Beach
• 9 April 2025 – 19-Day Panama Canal Passage, from Long Beach to Miami
