Tihany reveals that while much of his work has been for high-end hotels and restaurants, his "dream" has been to design a ship for a luxury cruise line. "Seabourn was the perfect scale for what I do. I am designing the ship to feel more like a luxury yacht," he says. Tihany goes on to reveal some of the design elements and concepts on Seabourn Encore that will create a very upscale, inviting atmosphere with high end finishings and custom materials.
Asked by interviewer Grizzle what Seabourn Encore will mean for competitors in the luxury segment, Tihany's confidence is clear: "Well I think we're just going to blow them away," he says with a laugh. "I think we're going to be the most beautiful ship at sea, and there's not going to be any question in anybody's mind if they want to take a luxury cruise that Seabourn is the choice." Seabourn Encore will launch from Athens in December 2016 and make its inaugural voyage from Singapore starting January 7, 2017. Comments are closed.
