All Ashore .....
A shore excursion used to mean an island or city sightseeing tour or a trip to the beach. Not necessarily anymore, especially on Royal Caribbean. That’s because the line has been collecting or creating more and more memorable or unique activities ashore.

Showing Off the Suites
Seabourn’s latest, Seabourn Encore, is still a bit more than a year away (entering service in late 2016), but Seabourn is ready to unveil the suites.
Why do cruise lines always show suites when most people travel in standard accommodations? In the case of Seabourn Encore, suites are all they have. There are five types of suites on the ship. The ones that intrigue us the most are the Veranda Suites. These are the “standard cabin” on this ship, but make no mistake - they are more than a “cabin.” The Veranda Suites are what the vast majority of passengers aboard Seabourn Encore will have booked.
