adoctor Posted June 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Just been informed that our cruise around Japan in April 2023 has been cancelled. Ship will be redeployed. Two options from Seabourn .Select another Asian cruise and get $1000 OBC or refund and 10% off a new booking. We will cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Claypool Posted June 23, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2022 We have just been informed that all the China ports (Hong Kong and Xiamen) have been pulled from our Encore Southeast Asia cruise next February and the itinerary has been significantly changed.

We were on the same cruise and based on the canceled ports and, IMO, radical change of the itinerary, we canceled. Disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted June 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Seabourn appears to be staying away from Asia in 2023. Odyssey will now be sailing the South Pacific route to Vancouver. She won’t be sailing from Japan. Seabourn is joining the other lines by avoiding Asia (and their COVID rules]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Fletcher Posted June 24, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Seabourn's solution to base everything around Singapore seems rather risky as they shut the door at a second's notice if anyone sneezes on the street. Also, by sailing from Singers up to Saigon and back and around to Penang seems extremely dull. This is still a rather fluid situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are flying though Singapore soon and we are not concerned at all as I have been following the updates carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Fletcher Posted June 29, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Just done some research into the reworked cruise and can honestly say it's the worst itinerary I have come across - a series of container ports miles from the city you are supposed to be visiting. Seabourn really have made a total mess of this and I wouldn't be surprised if they cancel the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted July 1, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 1, 2022 The ports in Tahiti and Hawaii are definitely not container ports! Can’t speak to the rest of the crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Fletcher Posted July 2, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Sorry, I was referring back to Mrs Claypool's post about a cruise on the Encore which was to have sailed from Dubai to Singapore and then from Singapore to Hong Kong. HK and Halong Bay are now cancelled and it's now a boring out-and-back from Singers. Edited July 2, 2022 by Fletcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covepointcruiser, could you post the new itinerary if you’ve got a moment. I haven’t been able to find it on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
