SEABOURN ENCORE joins the Seabourn fleet
Cruise SEABOURN ENCORE is the first unit built by Fincantieri for the brand Seabourn Cruise Line. The handover ceremony took place today at the Marghera shipyard (Venice).
The ceremony was attended for the ship owner, among others, by Micky Arison, Chairman of Carnival Corporation, Richard D. Meadows, President of Seabourn Cruise Line and Arnold Donald, CEO of Carnival Corporation, while Fincantieri was represented by the Chairman, Giampiero Massolo and the CEO, Giuseppe Bono.

Her maiden cruise will depart from Piraeus on December 4.
