MV Seabourn Encore is an upcoming luxury cruise ship under construction by Fincantieri of Italy for Seabourn Cruise Line. The first of a new class of ships about 26% larger than Seabourn's three Odyssey-class vessels, it will hold about 34% more passengers, based on double occupancy.[1]

Seabourn signed a letter of intent for the construction of Seabourn Encore in October 2013,[2] and announced its name in January 2015.[3]

Seabourn Encore is due to enter service in January 2017, following two "pre-inaugural" cruises departing in December 2016.[4] It will have a naming ceremony in Singapore on January 7, 2017, and will then depart on its official maiden voyage, a 10-day cruise to Bali, Indonesia, after which it will head to Australia.[5]
