Aboard Seabourn Encore you can expect luxury in perfection - yet the atmosphere is also informal and relaxed. During the day, you dress smart-casual and adapted to the weather. During a week-long cruise, guests can also expect a formal evening, for which a dark suit, dinner jacket or cocktail dress is recommended. The age of the guests is mixed, but predominantly over 50 and there are usually no children on board. Due to the international clientele, English is spoken on board.
