Seabourn signed a letter of intent for the construction of Seabourn Encore in October 2013,[5] and announced her name in January 2015.[6] A steel plate-cutting ceremony was held in April 2015.[7] The ship is 210 meters long with a 28-meter beam, and has a cruising speed of 18.6 knots (37 km/h).[8]
Architecture and equipment
Seabourn Encore is larger than the Odyssey-class vessels, with an additional deck and expanded public areas. Adam D. Tihany, a well-known hospitality interior designer, was appointed to design the indoor and outdoor guest facilities. According to Fincantieri, fuel consumption is "significantly reduced" by optimization of the ship's hydrodynamics.[7]
Service history
Seabourn Encore entered service in January 2017, following two "pre-inaugural" cruises departing in December 2016.[9] She had a naming ceremony in Singapore on January 7, 2017, and then departed on her official maiden voyage, a 10-day cruise to Bali, Indonesia.[10] After the maiden voyage, which sold out in just two days,[11] Seabourn Encore headed to Australia.[10]
In February 2017, Seabourn Encore was involved in a collision with the concrete carrier Milburn Carrier II after her mooring snapped during heavy winds.[12] The New Zealand Transport Accident Investigation Commission inquired into the incident, reporting in April 2019,[13] and urging that port companies should know the safe working loads of their moorings and have high quality monitoring of weather conditions
