Is Seabourn Encore Alaska Cruise Worth It? | Seabourn vs. Princess & Holland America

Is a luxury Alaskan cruise on the Seabourn Encore actually worth it? After two weeks on board during Seabourn’s inaugural Alaska season, I compare the small-ship experience to premium lines like Holland America and Princess to help you decide! In this video, I break down: • Ship Size & Service: What it’s like sailing with 600 passengers vs. 3,000–5,000 guests, including crew-to-guest ratios and personalized service. • Unique Itineraries: The difference between popular Alaska ports (Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka) and off-the-beaten-path fishing villages (Wrangell, Prince Rupert, Alert Bay). • Zodiacs & Kayaks: The game-changing expedition features onboard, including Zodiac tours in Misty Fjords, Dawes Glacier, and lectures from the red-jacket expedition team. • Dining Experience: Outdoor heated dining at The Colonnade, fine dining at The Restaurant, room service, sushi, and special Alaska seafood meals. • Cabin Review: An honest look at the mini-suite cabins and bathrooms on Seabourn Encore. • Cost & Value Comparison: Comparing a 7-night Seabourn Encore cruise price to a Discovery Princess Mini-Suite (with Princess Premiere) and a Holland America Koningsdam Vista Suite. If you’re deciding between a big ship or a luxury small ship for your Alaska cruise vacation, this review will help you weigh the pros and cons! 🚢 Planning an upcoming cruise?
