The Cruising Journal guide to Seadream Yacht Club . Informations and advices about services, drinks, excursions, itineraries. Reviews, Photos and Videos.

ON BOARD STYLE

The Seadream offers a cruise experience that is both intimate and informal, with a luxury service that is never invasive, and that makes you feel as though you were sailing on a large private yacht. In just a short amount of time the environment feels familiar and intimate. It is possible to enjoy the utmost privacy while at the same time sharing your cruising experiences and unforgettable moments with the few other guests on board.

Although the Seadream is synonymous with elegance and luxury, on board there are no particular rules for clothing. At the restaurant, as usual, it is not recommended to go in your bathing suit or, especially in the evenings, to go in shorts or t-shirts.

EXTRAS ON BOARD

The Seadream offers a wide range of all-inclusive packages for all its guests. There are no set service fees, and tips are offered as desired from the clients to the personnel. The tip money received is then deposited into an international fund for the protection of maritime workers and their families.

The following can be purchased for an additional charge: bottled wine from an extensive wine list, Spa treatments, and organized excursions.

In every port there are several different excursions offered, all exclusively in English. The company has a concierge available to guests who would like to organize transfers and personalized excursions.

RESTAURANTS

On the current Seadeam ships there is a main restaurant, usually open only in the evenings during itineraries in warmer climates. The second restaurant, featuring a partial buffet integrated with a la carte dishes, is instead located on the outside deck. In the evenings the menu is the same here as in the main restaurant. For breakfast and lunch it is an ideal location for eating you meal with a sea view.

The cuisine and the service will remind you immediately that you are on board a luxury ship and the dining will offer a true “journey” through gastronomic cultures.

SPA AND GYM

The gym on board, appropriately sized for the ship, is complete with all the basic equipment and can be used freely during the generous open hours. The Spa offers a small Turkish bath and sauna free of charge. An array of treatments are also available for an additional fee.

ITINERARIES

There are currently two twin “Seadream” ships, each of them is a little more than 100 meters in length. Their size allows them to reach exclusive ports and to be able to navigate close to the marvelous shores. They offer their passengers easy disembarking using tenders, thanks as well to the Marina at the stern. The itineraries of the Seadream Yacht Club vary from the classic and most famous Mediterranean destinations to the minor islands of the Caribbean, but also Cuba and transatlantic journeys. The new ship, the Seadream Innovation, will open up new vistas, such as incredible trips to the Arctic region that are planned for its inaugural season.

The two twin units of the Seadream Yacht club, the Seadream 1 and the Seadream 2, have four types of cabins. The Yacht Club staterooms are the basic category, they are very large and have a window. Some of these can be interconnected and converted into Commodore Suites. To travel truly in a dream, there are also the Admiral Suite and the Owners Suite, only one of each is available on board each ship. The cabins are distributed on decks 2, 3 and 4.

The service onboard the Seadream is always very attentive, helpful and cordial towards the clients. On board guests are given a bathrobe, slippers, and exclusive bathroom products. There is a free minibar in every cabin. The cabin service is free and guaranteed 24 hours a day.

The Marina and the Balinese Dream Beds represent the most unique offerings onboard the Seadream 1 and the Seadream 2. From the Marina it is possible to dive directly into the sea from the stern of the ship. It is also possible to swim or to board dinghies or canoes. The Balinese Dream Beds are instead the ideal place from which to enjoy the navigation in total comfort laying on …king sized beds. During some evenings, the Lido is transformed into an open-air cinema, offering the pleasant experience of enjoying a great film on the water.

SeaDream Yacht Club fleet

Seadream ii, review of seadream yacht club.

SeaDream Yacht Club (seadream.com) is a privately-owned cruise line company headquartered in Norway (Oslo) . It was established in 2002 by Larry Pimentel and Atle Brynestad. Atle is a Norwegian industrialist and also the founder of the top-luxury brand  Seabourn .

SeaDream's Owner, CEO and Chairman is Atle Brynestad. The company's managing team is led by Bob Lepisto (President) and Andreas Brynestad (Executive VP). In September 2023, as Senior VP of Communications was appointed Rune Thomas Ege (previously employed by Hurtigruten /Group and Expeditions). In January 2024, Walter Littlejohn III was appointed CSO/Chief Sales Officer.

The company's Founder, Owner and Chairman Atle Brynestad (1953-born Norwegian) founded SeaDream Yacht Club and Seabourn Cruise Line as well as the Norwegian retail chain Smart Club AS (1995-founded/2008-acquired by Coop Norge SA) via his company CG Holding (Oslo-based holding company) specializing in investments in the retail trade and renewable energy services. CG Holding's assets include the Porsgrund Porcelain Factory (producing flatware) which is currently the only one in Norway still in operation.

One of the industry's small cruise lines , SeaDream delivers a luxurious, yet unpretentious "yacht cruise" experience in destinations, such as the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Asia-Pacific, Northern Europe. Itineraries are quite flexible and allow the captain to linger in a port of call if passengers wish so, or to depart early in case rain spoils plans. Following the purchase of two luxury cruise ships (operated before that by Cunard ), the new all-inclusive line promoted its innovative style of cruising as "yacht-like". Since its first day of operation, formal wear code is not required as the onboard dress code is officially "resort-casual".

In 2022, the company celebrated its 20th Anniversary with a USD 10 million (EUR 8,8M) drydock refurbishment project for both yachts, conducted at Grand Bahama Shipyard in Freeport Bahamas .

Highlights of the luxury brand's sea travel experience are the delicious cuisine, outstanding service, 5-star luxury hotel amenities, sophisticated enrichment program, and exotic itineraries to remote bays and harbors where other cruisers can be rarely seen.

SeaDream Yacht Club is one of the industry's most all-inclusive cruise lines. Its deals are inclusive of gratuities, all beverages (including alcohol and cocktails), all shore excursions and tours, also the equipment at the watersports marina platform, However, passengers have to pay extra for Spa treatments and the ultra-premium liquor brands at the onboard bars/lounges.

The following YouTube video is an official SeaDream release about its "top luxury yachting" experience. It shows all the yachts' best features, including suites as configurations/furniture and cabin amenities, all the sophisticated relaxation, entertainment and dining options on the ship, along with the onboard facilities and activities.

SeaDream cruise passengers are sophisticated, laid-back, well-heeled and well-traveled. Ages range largely, starting from guests in their 30s. Solo travelers and occasional large groups of family and friends are not uncommon, though couples predominate.

SeaDream's current fleet includes the yachts  SeaDream 1 (1984-built as "Sea Goddess I"),  SeaDream 2 (1985-built as "Sea Goddess II") and  SeaDream Innovation (2021 September, newbuild on order ). However, in December 2019, the company canceled the SeaDream Innovation shipbuilding project and announced that a second-hand vessel will be eventually purchased in 2020.

All shipboard meals are open-seating, with many 2-seat tables available, making the brand a great choice for romantically inclined travelers. Weather permitting, dining is available on the yacht's open deck. Expensive Champagnes are poured generously. There is a weekly Champagne Splash party with caviar. Another unique offer on the yachts is the "sleeping under the stars" experience. It includes either an 8-person bed (on ship's open deck forward) or a double Balinese lounger facing the sea (aft of the "Top of the Yacht Bar").

In 2023, SeaDream announced plans to upgrade its yachts with shore power connectivity . SeaDream 2 was upgraded in 2023, while SeaDream 1 in 2024.

(Coronavirus crisis) Passenger shipping pause 2020-2021

Due to the COVID pandemic, SeaDream yachts suspended passenger shipping operations in the period March 18, 2020, through July 2021 .

Operations were planned to resume on September 7, 2020, but SeaDream started a mini-cruise program in Norway (June-September 2020) with 12-day Norwegian coastal itineraries between Oslo and Tromso on the superyacht SeaDream 1. SeaDream 1 restarted on June 26 (Mediterranean from Seville). SeaDream 2 restarted on June 26 (Greek Islands from Athens).

In early-November 2020, following a COVID outbreak on SeaDream 1, the company canceled the Caribbean 2020 winter program. All affected bookings received full refunds transferred as FCC (future cruise credit) with rebooking.

In August 2020, SeaDream introduced the "Ultimate Booking Assurance". The new policy guarantees a full monetary refund or 120% FCC for all bookings on voyages departing between July 22, 2020, and June 30, 2021, in case that the cruise is affected by travel restrictions from the customer's country of origin. Rebooking SeaDream cruises with rescheduling the initial booking is allowed even for not affected by travel restrictions voyages.

Itinerary of SeaDream Yacht Club

Currently, the company owns and operates two superyachts/sisterships - SeaDream I (1984-built) and SeaDream II (1985-built).
