SEATTLE, Aug. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.
