Seabourn Pulls Back The Curtain To Unveil Show Lounge On Board Seabourn Encore: The Grand Salon
Seattle,
August 3, 2015 - Seabourn has revealed the rendering of one of the
most distinct onboard venues aboard its newest ultra-luxury vessel, Seabourn Encore, debuting in December 2016:
the Grand Salon. Custom tailored with striking elements by design icon Adam
D. Tihany, who is designing all of the indoor and outdoor areas aboard Seabourn Encore, the
main show lounge will present a sophisticated setting for onboard
performances, from new shows by seasoned entertainers to local, cultural
productions from ashore and engaging guest speakers from the line's popular
enrichment series, Seabourn Conversations, such as legendary American
journalist Dan Rather and Forbes Media Chairman and Editor-in-Chief Steve
Forbes. Located
on Deck Six and accessible via the main staircase, the Grand Salon will
feature a layout and design that is both elegant and inviting. The lounge
will showcase a dramatic, expansive theater with plush, pivoting chairs that
are arrayed in cabaret style seating to ensure the audience is close to the
performers. Sculpture panels and lineal lights compose the sweeping ceiling,
while an enlarged bar pantry sits in the back to serve guests. "Providing
enriching and engaging entertainment is a hallmark Seabourn offering, and the
Grand Salon is the best venue to feature our diverse selection of
entertainment options aboard the world's most beautiful ultra-luxury
ship," said John Delaney, Seabourn's senior vice president, marketing
and sales. Like Seabourn
Encore itself, the Grand Salon's program schedule will be in constant
motion, inviting guests to migrate throughout the day for events that suit
their mood. During the days and occasionally after dinner, the lounge will be
the setting for lectures from guest speakers, cooking demonstrations, comedy,
classical recitals and more. Most evenings will feature dancing before dinner
on the Grand Salon's main dance floor, and following dinner will include
vocal production shows and cabaret performances and more.
Seabourn
Encore will feature modern design elements and innovations consistent
with the line's reputation for understated elegance. The 40,350-GRT ship will
be configured with one additional deck and expanded public areas, and is
expected to carry just 600 guests, based on double occupancy. In addition,
every suite will feature a private veranda. Seabourn
has revealed renderings and updates about Seabourn Encore via a
dedicated microsite: http://encore.seabourn.com. Filled with imagery, details
and updates on the ship's progress, including "sunsets until
launch," the microsite offers an inside look at the most exciting
Seabourn launch in years. Additional details, news and images will be
revealed on the site on an ongoing basis. For
