Seabourn Encore set to make its debut in Alaska in 2026

As it wraps up its 2025 season in Alaska and British Columbia, Seabourn is looking ahead to 2026, when the Seabourn Encore will make its maiden voyage to the region.

Building on the success of its 2025 Alaska season, Seabourn is setting a course to deliver a robust program in 2026, with 17 seven-day sailings and one 8-day sailing on board Seabourn Encore between May and September.

Each of these voyages can be combined to make 14- or 15-day voyages, offering guests an even deeper exploration of Alaska and British Columbia. With ample opportunities to experience the region, travelers will discover the breathtaking scenery, rich culture, and remarkable wildlife in Seabourn’s signature ultra-luxury style, setting the stage for Seabourn Encore’s highly anticipated maiden season in the region.

The 2026 program has been carefully designed to deliver unrivaled access to the best of Alaska, and each itinerary blends iconic highlights with hidden treasures and unique ports of call.

The ship will make marquee stops such as Juneau and Ketchikan, while also visiting off-the-beaten-path destinations, narrow inlets and passageways not accessible to larger ships, such as Alert Bay, the Inian Islands, and remote stretches of the Alaska and Canadian Inside Passage. In addition, glacier viewing is a must-see when sailing to Alaska, and every Seabourn voyage will feature a glacier experience.

The season will also offer more sailings into Glacier Bay National Park than any other luxury cruise line, allowing guests the rare chance to view multiple glaciers on a single journey.

Mark Tamis, president of Seabourn, said: “Alaska continues to be one of the most sought-after destinations for our guests, and we are thrilled to bring Seabourn Encore to the region for the very first time.”

And Tamis continued: “From exploring remote waterways to authentic coastal towns rich with culture and history, our 2026 season offers experiences beyond the expected, bringing guests closer to Alaska’s wildlife and communities with the comfort of an ultra-luxury, all-suite ship.”
