Seabourn Cruise Line celebrated the keel-laying of its new ultra-luxury ship, Seabourn Encore, at the Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, Italy. The ceremony was the latest in a series of shipbuidling milestones for the ship, which is set debut in late 2016. Seabourn Encore is one of two ultra-luxury cruise ships that Fincantieri will build for Seabourn over the next three years. Modeled after the trio of Seabourn’s Odyssey-class ships and designed by leading hospitality designer Adam D. Tihany, the all-suite 41,700-GRT ship will have one additional deck, new expanded public areas, is expected to carry just 600 guests, and every suite will feature a private veranda.
