On 17AUG, 2022, during a week-long sailing in the Eastern Mediterranean, international singing superstar and Seabourn Encore godmother, Sarah Brightman, will appear for one night only for “An Evening of Music and Conversation."
In 2017, Brightman served as godmother of Seabourn Encore and named the ship in a ceremony in Singapore. This year's Seabourn exclusive occasion sees the Encore's godmother reuniting with her ship during its seven-day Aegean & Turkish Treasures itinerary, sailing roundtrip from Athens 14-21AUG 2022.
Brightman will entertain during one performance in the ship’s Grand Salon, followed by an intimate conversation about her singing, theatrical career and musical accomplishments.
