SeaDream Yacht Club[ needs Norwegian IPA] is a private cruise line with its headquarters in Oslo, Norway. It was founded in 2001 by Atle Brynestad, the Norwegian founder of Seabourn Cruise Line. [1]
According to USA Today, "SeaDream Yacht Club delivers a luxurious, yet low-key experience that's appealing even to those who don't usually cruise." [2] SeaDream's slogan is "it's yachting, not cruising". [3] The company's passengers are likely to be SeaDream repeaters, and to feel like members of a club: "It's a well-traveled, cultured, convivial bunch, mostly Americans and Europeans and mostly couples, age 40 and up." [2]
As of 2014 [update], SeaDream's destinations included the Mediterranean, Caribbean, northern Europe and Asia-Pacific. [4]
SeaDream runs a fleet of two small cruise ships, formerly operated by Sea Goddess Cruises: [1] [4]
Ship | Built | Builder | Crew | Passengers | Notes | Image |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
SeaDream I | 1984 | Wärtsilä Helsinki Shipyard | 95 | 112 | ex-Sea Goddess I, Seabourn Goddess I. | |
SeaDream II | 1985 | Wärtsilä Helsinki Shipyard | 95 | 112 | ex-Sea Goddess II, Seabourn Goddess II. |
The two ships have been said to offer "... clubby scale, [and a] sense of privacy and exclusivity ...", but with lodgings not as luxurious as those of Seabourn or Silversea vessels. Each is equipped with a watersports marina that can be lowered for activities such as swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, windsurfing, and waterskiing. [4] Both ships are stocked with complimentary equipment for waterborne activities, including wave runners, glass-bottom kayaks, Laser sailboats, a banana boat, water skis, snorkeling gear and standup paddleboards. Also available are mountain bikes for use ashore. [2]
On March 20, 2019, the company announced the purchase of a new 220-passenger ship, SeaDream Innovation, from Damen Shipyards. It was planned to start sailing in September 2021. [5] It was cancelled the same year [6]
