IF NOT FOR THE CREW
"In summary, Seabourn remains one of my favorite cruise lines because of the staff, but I struggle to consider Seabourn truly luxury when comparing to the competition.No other luxury line I've experienced - no matter how gorgeous the ship or amazing the food is has staff that come anywhere close to that which you find on Seabourn...."Read More

Great Customer Service-Mostly

Great Customer Service experience on this cruise. The Square's customer service agents, destination staff, and their supervisors were all top-notch. The personalized attention we received will keep us coming back to Seabourn. Dining was hit and miss. We had some inedible and salty food at Earth and Ocean, where we usually like to dine. We had terrific Indian food that was specially prepared for ...

This was our second cruise with Seabourn. We returned to Seabourn after an amazing cruise with them some years ago. What a disappointment second time round, so much had changed and not for the better. Seabourn comes with a price tag and an expectation of 5 star luxury, sadly in our opinion it has dropped to 4! The attention to detail is gone, the personal touch no more, very average wines ...

After my 5 cruise in 12 month , Encore was my first time , its bit larger than the quest or odyssey but that means there is better shows and 600 pax , si I like to point out that the food was exceptional better than the 4 previous crises with seabourn , perhaps the area and quality of all the ingredients. in Asia myght have a role , the fruits on board where all incredible specially the water ...

We've just returned from a 7 night cruise from Istanbul to Athens on the Encore and overall our experience was good. The crew are super professional, warm, welcoming and give the impression that nothing is too much trouble. The ship was familiar to us as we'd sailed on it's slightly younger sister, the Ovation back in 2019. The design of these ships is relatively simple, there are no real ...

Totally magic first-time cruise

We had never been on a cruise; never wanted to go on one. A friend in California, who has cruised extensively, suggested we consider going on a cruise and go with Seabourn. Once I looked at their itineraries and discovered that not all cruises were floating orgies and beach parties, I was intrigued. I found their 14-day Venice to Istanbul cruise--two places I had not yet been to, but wanted to ...

I am wrapping up a 14 night sailing from Athens to Athens onboard the Seabourn Encore. I have always been a fan of Seabourn and feel comfortable on board. Cruising on Seabourn as a return guest is truly like "coming home". The best asset that Seabourn has is their staff. This sailing was no exception. Under the direction of Hotel Director Kevin Huxham guests enjoy a level of service ...

Prior to sailing with Seabourn, we had only sailed with Crystal, Regent and Celebrity. A good friend raved about Seabourn so we decided to try sailing with them in the Mediterranean. I want to go over where things shine first. The crew are extremely friendly and give the ship such a social atmosphere. The cruise directors, Clark and Melissa, as well as the beverage manager, Sean, Lindsay, the ...

No ultra luxus, hardly even luxus

We were on 14 day Treasures of Adrian cruise on Seabourn Encore on July. This was our first cruise on “ultra luxus” ship. Previous cruises have been lately on MSC Yacht Club, Celebrity Retreat, Mein Shiff X-lounge or NCL Haven. Therefore, we are comparing Seabourn experience to those more than a normal main cruise line experience. Unfortunately, we found no ultra luxus on Seabourn, hardly even ...

Just spectacular. Our first cruise and how fantastic was this! Without question the service was so good, so authentic, personal and kind. Everyone remembered your name. Everyone was engaging and not in a hurry. The table service was so excellent .. never rushed, never slow. The somilier quickly figured our wine preferences out ... and was always able to find something that was ...
