Seabourn Encore Itineraries

Seabourn encore review, review of seabourn encore.

The 2016-built Seabourn Encore cruise ship is one of the newest in the Seabourn fleet - with sistership Seabourn Ovation (2018).

The vessel (IMO number 9731171) is currently Bahamas- flagged (MMSI 311000464) and registered in Nassau .

History - construction and ownership

Seabourn Cruises is a top-luxury (all-inclusive) company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Seattle WA . Seabourn operates on global itineraries, ranging from the 7-day Caribbean to 100+day Around the World voyages . Since 1998, Seabourn is fully-owned by Carnival Corporation - world's largest passenger shipping company. Seabourn is a signature travel brand and a major player on the premium-cruising market, competing for head-on with Silversea and RSSC-Regent Seven Seas .

The 40,350-ton, 604-passenger cruise ship Seabourn Encore is a top luxury vessel with a surprising wealth of facilities. The ship is 26% larger than the older Seabourn ships Odyssey , Quest , and Sojourn . The ship's passenger capacity is bigger with 34%, but with just 6% less space per guest. In comparison, the ship also features an additional deck and expanded public areas.

Decks and Cabins

Seabourn Encore staterooms (302 total) are all in Suite categories (13 grades).

Seabourn Encore Wiki

Seabourn Encore cruise ship is the line's newest vessel providing all-inclusive "big yacht cruising" vacation experiences. Her sister as the design is Seabourn Ovation  (2017). The other fleet members are named  Odyssey ,  Quest and Sojourn . All Seabourn ships, as a sea vacation travel concept, continue to be widely acknowledged as the "game-changer" for the luxury ship travel industry.

Compared to fleet's three Odyssey-class vessels, the Encore ship is about 1/5th larger in size (26%), 1/3rd bigger as passenger capacity (34%, based on double occupancy), with 1 additional deck, re-designed venues, expanded public spaces, and features 6% less space per passenger. Traditionally for the ships in the Seabourn fleet, all passenger cabins (all are suites) have private verandas.

On September 15, 2015, with the keel-laying ceremony officially started the vessel's construction. The ceremony was attended by Antonio Quintano (Marghera shipyard's manager) and Keith Taylor (Holland America Group's Executive VP). On March 4, 2016, was the vessel's launch at Marghera shipyard. The special event was attended by Marnie Tihany (wife of Adam D Tihany, the ship's interior designer).

The godmother's name was revealed in Nov 2016 - Mrs. Sarah Brightman (born 1960). She is a UK classical soprano, also actress, musician, songwriter. Her 1996 duet with Andrea Bocelli (the single "Time to Say Goodbye") became one of the world's best-selling singles. Seabourn ship's namesake is the 2019-launched Norwegian Encore ( NCL ).

On November 30, 2016, the vessel was officially delivered with a ceremony held at the Marghera shipyard. The event was attended by Seabourn's President Richard Meadows, and Fincantieri's CEO Giuseppe Bono.

On January 7, 2017, was the vessel's christening ceremony held at Port Singapore . The naming ceremony was led by the godmother Sarah Brightman. Cruise passengers and many VIP guests joined the ship's staff for a show launch. Followed performances by local musicians and actors, including lion dancers and stilt walkers.

The Inaugural Cruise (maiden voyage themed "Gems of the Java Sea") was a 10-day itinerary to ports in Indonesia (Singapore to Benoa, Bali ). Followed Asian and Australian voyages and repositioning via Suez Canal to Europe (the Mediterranean). During its Inaugural cruise season in 2016, Seabourn Encore offered mostly one-way itineraries to ports in Europe (Mediterranean), Asia ( Dubai , India,  Sri Lanka ), Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia,  Singapore ), Australia and New Zealand. Seabourn Encore spent the summer 2017 season in Europe / Mediterranean on itineraries 7-, 10-, and 14-day in length.

Seabourn Encore Veranda Suite

Share this story.

The Seabourn Encore Veranda Suite is elegant and spacious. Designed by Adam D. Tihany it offers comfort and style as well as a private veranda.

The Seabourn Encore is the first in a new class of ship for Seabourn. She is larger than her predecessors, accommodating 600 guests – 31% more than the earlier Odyssey class ships.

However the layout and dimensions of each Seabourn Encore Veranda Suite are almost identical to those on the Odyssey, Sojourn and Quest. The real difference is in the decor by Adam D. Tihany. The sharp Nordic-style lines of the Odyssey class have been replaced by gentle curves that evoke the glamorous days of the great ocean liners. Tihany’s decor is elegant and bright with a subtle palette of blues and creams, offset by dark timber highlights and gleaming chrome accents.

The attractive Seabourn Encore Veranda Suite is the most popular type of accommodation onboard. These spacious suites all feature a private veranda and are positioned forward and midship over seven passenger decks.

The layout of the Seabourn Encore Veranda Suite will be familiar to those who have sailed on other Seabourn ships. A wide entry hall runs down one side of the suite with a vanity area and makeup mirror. Off the hall is a sumptuous marble bathroom and a walk-in closet. The living space is divided into two distinct sections with a bedroom at one end and a well designed sitting area at the other. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors lead on to the private veranda.

The Seabourn Encore Veranda Suites are the same size as those on the Odyssey, Sojourn and Quest. Each Seabourn Encore Veranda Suite boasts an impressive 28 sq. m. / 302 sq. ft. of internal space, plus a veranda which measures 6-7 sq. m. / 68-83 sq. ft. A handful of Veranda Suites are slightly smaller, with 23 sq. m. / 246 sq. ft. of internal space.

The living space of the Seabourn Encore Veranda Suite exudes an air of sophisticated elegance. Designed by Adam D. Tihany who’s been responsible for the decor of some of the worlds finest hotels, it features a soothing cool palette of blues and creams. This is accented by dark wood fittings and a beautiful geometric patterned carpet.

As is typical for Seabourn the living space is divided into two distinct zones: a restful sleeping area and a tastefully decorated sitting space. In the sleeping area guests can choose a queen or twin bed setup. Either way the bedding is framed by a beautifully crafted, cream coloured leather bedhead bordered by dark timber inlays and ornate reading lamps. The mattress is exceptionally comfortable and guests may choose to have the bed made with either a duvet or blanket, depending on the climate. A pillow selection is also available.

There are ingenious dual compartment bedside tables on either side with special sliding upper draws for eye-glasses and small personal items.

We note that the bed is not quite high enough to fit some of the newer types of large hard-shell luggage beneath. Some guests may find this bothersome.

At the foot of the bed is a sideboard cabinet topped with dove grey marble. It provides lots of extra shelf storage space. Fresh flowers, courtesy of Seabourn, sit atop the sideboard.

Separating the sleeping and sitting areas are two unobtrusive, dark wood cabinets. These provide a visual divide between the spaces. One contains the mini bar while the other houses the entertainment unit and provides general storage space. Here too, Tihany’s design touch can be seen in the unique, gleaming chrome cupboard handles.

Thanks to Tihany’s smart decor the sitting area of the Seabourn Encore Veranda Suite feels even more spacious than that of the Odyssey class ships. This inviting space features a comfortable 3-seater sofa on one side, while on the other is a beautifully designed glass-topped dining table and hand-crafted blue and cream coloured leather chairs. The glass table has the effect of opening up the space even more.

A cleverly designed round ottoman doubles as a coffee table with a top that flips to reveal a dark wood tray. Inside, the ottoman has space for more storage.

Sadly, we note that soundproofing in the living space of the Seabourn Encore Veranda Suite is not ideal. At the time of reviewing we could hear the television and voices from the neighbouring suite.

The Adam D. Tihany designed bathroom is perhaps the highlight of the Seabourn Encore Veranda Suite. It sparkles with beautifully crafted chrome fittings and gleaming white and dove grey marble.

The bathroom boasts double vanities, a full size bath and separate shower with Grohe fittings. There is a generous amount of storage space around the vanities and on the shelving below. The bathroom setup includes Molton Brown spa products made exclusively for Seabourn.

The veranda is the ideal place to spend time with a good book or watching the sun set over the ocean. This extra deep, spacious area measures up to 7 sq. m. / 83 sq. ft. and easily accommodates a set of reclining deck chairs with ottomans and a large table.

One point worth noting is that unlike on the Odyssey, Sojourn and Quest the V1-V6 category verandas on Seabourn Encore are not teak. Rather they are the faux-timber style common to the pool decks of less luxurious ships.

There is ample storage space in the Seabourn Encore Veranda Suite. A walk-in wardrobe is accessed from the hall with plenty of wooden hangers and deep draws.

There are 267 elegant Veranda Suites on Seabourn Encore. They are spread over seven passenger decks, from deck 5 to 11. The largest number of Veranda Suites are located on decks 6 ,7 and 8 – with between 50 to 64 suites on each. For a greater sense of intimacy we recommend choosing a suite on deck 10 or 11 where there are no more than 12 Veranda Suites plus a handful of premium suites.

The Seabourn Encore Veranda Suites are grouped into 6 categories (V1 to V6) and Seabourn sell them accordingly. While the layout of the suites is identical across the categories there are two significant points of difference to be aware of:

1. Position on the ship V1 – V4 category suites are located forward or on lower decks, while V5 – V6 have preferred midship or high deck locations.

2. Veranda railings The more expensive V3 – V6 category suites feature all-glass veranda railings from floor to teak rail, while V1 – V2 category suites are part metal, part glass from floor to teak rail.

The Seabourn Encore Veranda Suite includes the following amenities:

• Welcome Champagne and canapés.
• Queen-size bed or two twin beds.
• Choice of pillows to suit your preference.
• Nightly turndown service.
• Pleasant seating area with expansive ocean view.
• Fully stocked bar and refrigerator.
• Spacious bathroom with separate tub and shower.
• A selection of designer soaps.
• Interactive flat-screen TV with music and movies.
• Walk-in closet with personal safe.
• Writing desk with personalised stationery.
• Makeup vanity.
• A world atlas.
• An umbrella.
• Laundry and dry cleaning service (at charge).
• Plush robes and slippers.
• Hair dryer.
• 110/220V AC power outlets.

Seabourn Encore Overview

Seabourn encore dining, seabourn encore nightlife, seabourn encore wellness.

Question. Can three adults cruise in your suites? What does the third person pay? Thank you.

Seabourn Encore does have suites that can accommodate a third guests. You will need to pay an additional cruise fare for the third guest. I recommend you contact Seabourn or your travel advisor for details.

Regards Jason Kerr Managing Editor

Hi, Do you know which of the Veranda suites are smaller, as mentioned above? Many thanks, Adrienne

Dear Adrienne

The suites located next to the Wintergarden Suites are slightly smaller. The veranda is smaller and the closet is reconfigured in a different position in the hall.

These are suites 848 and 851.

I hope this helps.

Any insight into Suite 903 as it only has a shower? Is the bathroom smaller, the shower larger…? How about the suite/cabin itself?

Dear Steven

Thank you for your question. Yes, the bathroom is smaller though only by virtue of it not having a tub. The actual floor space is almost the same. On the other hand, size of the shower cubical is identical.

Also, the size of the rest of the suite is standard.

I hope this helps in your planning.

Seabourn Unveils 2025-26 Cruise Line-Up

S eabourn has unveiled its lineup of 2025-26 cruises, which includes several new itineraries in Japan, the Caribbean, Southeast Asia and the Islands of Hawaii .

From September 2025 through March 2026, Seabourn ’s four ships—Seabourn Ovation, Seabourn Encore, Seabourn Quest and Seabourn Sojourn—will visit 105 destinations in more than 40 countries during 72 itineraries. Trips range from seven to 22 days in length and can be combined to create even more immersive journeys. Travelers can also add on pre- and post-cruise trips.

New for fall of 2025, Seabourn will offer autumn foliage cruises in Japan aboard Seabourn Quest. The ship will circumnavigate the Japanese archipelago, making maiden calls on all four main islands.

The cruise line is also sending Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Sojourn to the Caribbean , where the ships will sail new itineraries from San Juan, St. Maarten, Miami and Barbados.

Seabourn Encore, meanwhile, will return to Southeast Asia to offer 14-day cruises that include overnight stays in Ho Chi Minh City. Seabourn Sojourn will offer holiday sailings around the Hawaiian Islands.

“This collection of extraordinary voyages invites guests to become immersed in an ocean of ultra-luxury, personalized service and discovery, exploring hidden gems and staying longer in iconic ports with overnight stays," says Natalya Leahy, president of Seabourn. “Our carefully curated itineraries will provide our guests with unforgettable ‘Seabourn Moments’ as they sail the high seas in Seabourn’s ultra-luxury style." 

The Best New Cruises in the World: 2024 Hot List

By CNT Editors

It’s inevitable: Every spring when we pull together the Hot List , our annual collection of the world’s best new hotels, restaurants, and cruise ships, a staffer remarks that this latest iteration has got to be the best one ever. After a year’s worth of traveling the globe—to stay the night at a converted farmhouse in the middle of an olive grove outside Marrakech , or sail aboard a beloved cruise line’s inaugural Antarctic voyage—it’s easy to see why we get attached. But this year’s Hot List, our 28th edition, might really be the best one ever. It’s certainly our most diverse, featuring not only a hotel suite that was once Winston Churchill’s office, but also the world’s largest cruise ship and restaurants from Cape Town to Bali. We were surprised and inspired by this year’s honorees, and we know you will be too. These are the Hot List cruise winners for 2024.

Celebrity Ascent — Celebrity Cruises Arrow

Celebrity is a premium big-ship cruise brand, focusing on exquisite dining, cutting-edge amenities, Instagram-worthy public spaces chock-full of bespoke art pieces, and avant-garde onboard entertainment. The ship makes passengers feel, in a word, glamorous. Celebrity Ascent ’s sumptuously designed interiors are flooded with natural light and evoke an air of playful sophistication that make a week on board an escape worth cherishing. Passengers may find themselves longing to return for just one more succulent crab claw at Raw on 5, one more martini poured by bottle-spinning bartenders in the Martini Bar, or one more dazzling, acrobatic stage show, in the days following their farewells to this beautiful ship. From $710 per person for a seven-night sailing. —Scott Laird

Emerald Sakara — Emerald Cruises Arrow

Now with two oceangoing vessels joining Emerald’s more established fleet of nine river-dedicated “Star-Ships,” the decade-old cruise line is extending a brand built on unpretentious luxury to more corners of the world. Christened last August, the 100-guest superyacht, Sakara, is a near twin to Azzurra, which in 2022 ushered in a new era for Emerald by taking to the high seas. Sakara, like its sister, delightfully blurs the line between the luxury and ultra-luxury cruise categories, offering attentive service, gourmet cuisine, tasteful decor, and an eclectic slate of activities at a price point friendly to more budgets. The cherry on top with both superyachts is a slew of perks atypical of small-ship sailing, ranging from an impressively comprehensive spa to a marina platform well equipped for more fun in the sun. Despite having so much good stuff, each vessel is remarkably spacious. Getting a sense of being on a private yacht is easy like Sunday morning. Sakara is homeported in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean through at least March 2026; Azzurra, too, in addition to the Middle East, Kenya, and the Seychelles. Emerald’s river operations are based in Europe and Southeast Asia. (Note that a third ship, the Kaia , has just been announced by the cruise line; it debuts in April 2026, and, for all the early birds, it is now open for bookings.) From $3,850. —David Dickstein

Explora I — Explora Journeys Arrow

With a showpiece lobby bar, upscale restaurants, and a sultry infinity pool, Explora Journeys' relaxed luxury-resort-at-sea vibe strikes the perfect balance on Explora I. Launched in August 2023, the all-inclusive ship is disarmingly beautiful. A sleek navy blue exterior cocoons 461 suites, all with deep balconies, walk-in closets, and marble bathrooms. There is free-flowing Champagne, 7,500 square feet of wellness space, and 18 drinking and dining venues. From Emporium Marketplace, with its decadent raw bar, to pan-Asian restaurant Sakura, the dining on Explora I is sensational. Marble & Co. Grill is an intimate steakhouse where aging meats hang in temperature-controlled cabinets. At Anthology, the ship's only supplementary restaurant, guest chefs—such as Claude Le Tohic of San Francisco's O' by Claude Le Tohic—curate sublime tasting menus. There's more: The only Rolex boutique at sea, huge hot tubs, and a shore program that sees some land experiences developed in partnership with revered explorer Mike Horn. From $698 per person per night. —Kerry Spencer

Icon of the Seas — Royal Caribbean International Arrow

Aboard the Icon, you can really get lost. The behemoth is just plain big, with capacity for nearly 8,000 when combining passengers and crew across 20 decks and 250,800 gross tons. Two and a half laps around the ship’s jogging track, a particular highlight onboard, and you’ve run a mile. So one can find themselves in need of a map—forgetting your sunscreen, for example, in your cabin is a bit of a chore depending on how far you’ve made it. But the abundance of things to do is also narcotic, and you feel a bit like a lotus-eater attempting to navigate it all while keeping your head. Amid the relentless entertainment, not to be missed are the top-notch performers present everywhere, from the Olympic-level aquatics show that you can watch from the windows of the specialty seafood restaurant should seating be elusive (it often is) to the cafeteria, where crew members dressed as food items sing songs reminding (commanding, actually, which is fabulous) passengers to wash their hands at sinks near the entrance. If you wish to enjoy the largest waterpark at sea, by the way, do what I did not and pack a swimsuit without zippers. From $2,249. —Charlie Hobbs

MSC Euribia — MSC Cruises Arrow

Looking at a row of cruise ships in port, you'll spot MSC Euribia right away. She's covered bow to stern by an ocean-themed mural by German artist Alex Flämig that bears the hashtag #SaveTheSeas nodding to the MSC's dedication to sustainable cruising: the European cruise line aims to be net-zero by 2050. MSC Euribia brings it one step closer to that goal, as it's the fleet's greenest ship yet, operating on liquified natural gas (LNG) and running advanced water and waste treatment systems onboard. But enough with the technical details—this mega-ship is packed with activities and entertainment, with 10 restaurants, 21 bars, five pools, two performance venues, and a bevy of family-friendly amenities, like an F1 simulator, a waterpark, and a bowling alley. More adult-oriented highlights include the MSC Aurea Spa, with a thermal suite outfitted with thalassotherapy pools, a salt cave, and a snow room, as well as the Helios Wine Maker bar for wine tastings. From $519. —Stefanie Waldek

Norwegian Viva — Norwegian Cruise Line Arrow

The second entry in Norwegian Cruise Line’s new Prima Class, Viva is like an Irish twin of older sister Prima . There’s the same stateroom count at 1,586, done in pristine and pleasing neutrals, as well as familiarly tricked-out amenities like the zippy 1,400-foot go-kart racing track that undulates over the top decks. Importantly, the Ocean Walk, which my colleague Mercedes Bleth adored aboard the Prima, remains. But round two afforded the premier name in large-ship cruising a chance to tweak and perfect, with an influx of seating options both in the ship’s complimentary dining hall as well as on its myriad decks. Across from the signature “zero-waste” Metropolitan Bar, where yummy drinks are whipped up from the ship’s food waste (I particularly enjoy a buttery Croissant Mai-Tai, for which hardening pastries are boiled down into sweetening syrup; the same is done with banana peels) is an interactive piece of digital art 52 feet wide that sees butterflies flit beside passersby. Breezy class all around. From $979. —Charlie Hobbs

Oceania Vista — Oceania Cruises Arrow

Vista, Oceania’s first new ship in more than a decade and the first of its Allura Class, debuted with small but mighty upgrades to its previous ships: better stabilizers for a smoother sailing experience; stronger Wi-Fi; lighting and architecture designed to make the ship’s common spaces look and feel roomier; a resort-like pool deck; and balconies in every cabin. The real star of the show, though, is the food and beverage experience— Vista ’s culinary program delivers on its promise of top-quality venues you’ll want to make the rounds at. New to the lineup are Ember, a steakhouse with decor straight out of Napa Valley, and Aquamar Kitchen, serving up lighter fare that doesn’t skimp on taste. Celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, or a just-because occasion with the Cellar Masters Wine Luncheon, a five-course meal and wine pairing. And don’t miss the elaborate sea day brunch, where towers of lobster, crab, and caviar await. Of course, the ship is just one destination. This year Vista is splitting time between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean; next year it will venture farther into Europe with ports of call like Istanbul, Stockholm, and Klaipeda, Lithuania. Its sister ship, Allura, sets sail in 2025 From $2,699. —Madison Flager

Scenic Eclipse II — Scenic Luxury Cruises and Tours Arrow

The eagerly awaited Scenic Eclipse II is the new and improved version of Scenic's first expedition vessel, Scenic Eclipse . Dubbed "discovery yachts" for their sleek look and top-tier service, the sisters are nearly identical, with most changes so subtle that most guests might not even notice them, such as the slight enlargement of the steam room in the spa. But a big difference can be found on deck 10, where a plunge pool with jets for simulated lap swimming has taken the place of two hot tubs—and there's a new Sky Bar up here. Otherwise, Scenic Eclipse II has the same beloved amenities of its sister, most notably 10 exceptional dining experiences, from a sushi bar to a French restaurant with an attached Champagne bar; a 5,920-square-foot spa; two helicopters; and a submersible. Capable of sailing all over the world, including the polar regions, Scenic Eclipse II has itineraries for every type of traveler. From $7,455. —Stefanie Waldek

Seabourn Pursuit — Seabourn Cruise Line Arrow

Pursuit is a small “yacht-like” expedition ship with a distinct green exterior whose destinations range from Antarctica to warmer climes like the Kimberley in Australia. The decadent cabins, bigger than some standard hotel rooms, feel spacious and relaxing, complete with all the subtle touches that make you feel immediately at home. You can hang your evening attire in the walk-in closet and dry your wet swimwear—or damp Arctic expedition gear—in the built-in warming compartment; have sunrise breakfasts or sunset cocktails mixed at the in-room wet bar on your private balcony; and sleep in a plush, queen-sized bed. But what truly sets this cruise apart is the attentive and personable staff who quickly learn your name and personal preferences, providing VIP treatment throughout the journey. From $10,799. —Taylor Eisenhauer

Seven Seas Grandeur — Regent Seven Seas Cruises Arrow

Ports in the Caribbean, the Greek Isles, and the Riviera might be the draw, but the all-inclusive luxury line Regent Seven Seas Cruises produces ships that have travelers looking forward to those days at sea, as its sixth offering, Grandeur, further proves. All of the 372 suites, which start at a roomy 307 square feet, are decorated in calming neutral blues and beige, and feature furnished balconies; most have L'Occitane bubbles for the marble tub. Quiet comfort can also be had in the Serene Spa & Wellness outdoor lounge area, following a massage on a quartz crystal bed that mimics the feel of warm sand. Cravings for a porterhouse or a vegetarian Salisbury steak can be sated by Prime 7, with other venues serving specialty pan-Asian cuisine, French fare, ample buffets, and Italian offerings. Mainstay Compass Rose has been reimagined as a light, airy space where diners breakfast under playfully elegant pillars that resemble crystal trees. Grandeur 's whimsy extends to its reception area, where guests can check out Journey in Jewels, the Fabergé egg made specifically for the vessel, where it will remain for the rest of its jeweled ovoid days. The maximum number of 744 guests ensures unhurried service and uncrowded environs as you recover from a sunny day of swimming with Caribbean pigs. From $4,699 . —Alexandra Sanidad

Silver Nova — Silversea Cruises Arrow

A voyage on Silversea’s latest ship, Silver Nova, is one of taste and style. With expansive glass features throughout each of the 11 decks, and an ocean-facing saltwater swimming pool, the ship’s unique asymmetrical design leaves room for adults to run and play (with swank, of course). The Nova ’s reimagined culinary experience, SALT (Sea and Land Taste), is the first large-scale, regional restaurant at sea, and acts as an invitation to guests to experience more than an excursion. While initially introduced on Silver Moon, the Nova ’s SALT program includes SALT Lab by day: an intimate cooking class with highly acclaimed chefs and regional cuisine recipes inspired by the next destination. With one nightly seating, SALT Chef's Table offers an exclusive and creatively interactive dining experience. It’s all very intimate—as chefs showcase the art of their crafts firsthand, guests peek into a new culture, and place, before even disembarking. From $3,050. —Jessica Chapel

Viking Aton — Viking River Cruises Arrow

In the style of all Viking ships, the Rottet Studio–designed Aton is intended for comfortable and thought-provoking exploration—just look to the book-filled shelves in the cabins, curated by London’s Heywood Hill library, and the revolving door of on-board lecturers (on my trip, an English curator spoke about the evolving depictions of Egypt in 1900s popular art). It should be no surprise that in a destination as rich and storied as Egypt’s Nile, where the Aton is permanently based, the guides set apart what may read as a quintessential itinerary. On the Pharaohs & Pyramids journey, which takes travelers from the Valley of the Kings, where King Tut lies, to the Great Pyramid of Giza and well beyond over 12 days, esteemed Egyptologists oscillate from translating hieroglyphics on temple walls in real time, to shepherding travelers through modern night markets with endless fervor. On this ship it isn’t just what you see but how much you listen—and the team here, predominantly Egyptian, has much to say. These days, travelers crave perspective-altering experiences more than ever; get on the Aton and you’ll get once-in-a-lifetime access (until, that is, your next Aton sailing). From $5,999. —Megan Spurrell

Resilient Lady — Virgin Voyages Arrow

Stepping onto Resilient Lady feels a bit like heading to summer camp. The massive vessel is like a giant playground for adults, which is why it draws a fun-loving crowd. Theme night parties, a nostalgic arcade room, plenty of board games, and basketball courts are just a few of the seemingly limitless onboard activities. Compared with its sister ships, the newest Virgin Voyages addition includes upgraded onboard entertainment and exciting new ports of call like the Greek Islands, Bali, and Mumbai. Most of the shows on this specific ship are new to the line, such as Persephone, an interactive performance developed in collaboration with famed Brooklyn nightclub House of Yes, and Another Rose, an immersive dinner experience. Dining options are abundant on the ship—20-plus to be exact—and all of them are included with every passenger ticket. Plus, you can’t miss out on a visit to the several different sauna experiences in the Thermal Suite inside the Redemption Spa. From $2,000 . —Rachel Dube

World Voyager — Atlas Ocean Voyages Arrow

There are superbly comfortable spaces and floor-to-ceiling windows aplenty on World Voyager, the latest vessel from Atlas Ocean Voyages. On an Antarctica expedition, from the sauna or the spa’s relaxation room, with its heated loungers perfectly positioned in front of a wall of glass, you might watch turquoise icebergs float by. Back in your cozy stateroom, Champagne and strawberries await, as do the views from a Juliet or walkout balcony. The look throughout the 100 cabins and public spaces is Scandinavian modern, thanks to blond woods, marble floors, plush carpets in geometric patterns, and curvaceous furniture draped in velvety fabrics. In the elegant dining room, the focus is on international cuisine with a farm-to-table slant—think mushroom risotto and smoked duck with chargrilled vegetables. Meanwhile, the multipage cocktail menu beckons guests to a pair of spacious lounges. Blending yacht-style elegance and boutique-resort intimacy, this is a ship where you can make new friends easily but also retreat to a favorite spot to enjoy high tea in peaceful solitude while awaiting details from the crew on the adventures that lie ahead. From $1849. —Celeste Moure
