SEATTLE , April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Seabourn, the leader in ultra-luxury cruising and expedition travel, celebrated the maiden arrival of Seabourn Encore to the continental United States on April 9, 2025, marking a major milestone as the ship docked for the first time in Long Beach, Calif. 

The visit offers a rare opportunity for guests and local travel advisor partners to see the award-winning ship up close. The stop also served as a key transition point as Seabourn Encore begins its journey toward Europe, including a Panama Canal cruise and a transatlantic crossing and a summer season of sailings to the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas.

"We are so proud to welcome Seabourn Encore to the continental U.S. for the first time as she continues her extraordinary season of travel," said Mark Tamis, president of Seabourn. "As she departs Long Beach, Seabourn Encore will take guests to explore the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal and the rich cultures in Mexico, Costa Rica and Colombia before sailing to the beautiful Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas."

The remainder of Seabourn Encore's 2025 deployment will take guests on an extraordinary journey across five continents and two oceans. Starting November 2025, Seabourn Encore will begin a westward voyage to Japan, covering more than 18,500 nautical miles and crossing the Atlantic Ocean, Southern Caribbean, Panama Canal and Pacific Ocean.
