SeaDream Yacht Club operates with the motto "It's Yachting, Not Cruising®." This ultra-luxury line focuses on delivering an exceptionally intimate, all-inclusive, and personalized experience aboard its twin mega-yachts. SeaDream appeals to discerning, well-traveled adults who seek a sophisticated yet utterly relaxed atmosphere, gourmet dining, impeccable service, and access to smaller, more exclusive ports that larger ships cannot reach. It's ideal for those who value privacy, flexibility, and a high degree of personalization, feeling truly like they are on their own private yacht.
Fleet and Design:
SeaDream Yacht Club operates a fleet of two identical, elegant mega-yachts:
- SeaDream I
- SeaDream II
Both yachts were originally built in the 1980s but underwent multi-million-dollar refurbishments (most recently in 2022) to ensure a contemporary and luxurious feel. Each yacht accommodates a maximum of just 112 guests with a remarkable crew-to-guest ratio of nearly 1:1 (95 crew members), ensuring unparalleled personalized service.
The design philosophy emphasizes a casual, comfortable, and elegant atmosphere. Key features include:
- All Ocean-View Staterooms and Suites: While not all have private balconies, all 56 accommodations offer ocean views from either portholes or large picture windows. They are beautifully appointed with luxurious linens, marble bathrooms, and a complimentary in-suite bar.
- Signature Balinese Dream Beds: Located on the open decks, these plush, comfortable daybeds are a hallmark of SeaDream, offering a unique space for relaxation, sunbathing, or even sleeping under the stars.
- Open Teak Decks: Ample outdoor space for lounging, dining, and enjoying the sea breeze.
- Elegant & Comfortable Interiors: Public spaces feature a sophisticated, residential style with fine furnishings and a welcoming ambiance.
Destinations (2025-2026):
SeaDream's small size allows them to access secluded coves, hidden harbors, and smaller, charming ports that are inaccessible to larger cruise ships, enhancing the "yachting" experience. Their itineraries often feature overnight stays in popular destinations to allow for deeper immersion.
For 2025 and 2026, their primary cruising regions include:
- Caribbean: During the winter months (November to April), SeaDream sails extensively through the Caribbean, visiting popular islands and off-the-beaten-path gems. Itineraries often include calls at exclusive spots for their signature "Champagne & Caviar Splash™" beach barbecue. Popular embarkation/disembarkation ports include St. Thomas, San Juan, Philipsburg, and Bridgetown.
- Mediterranean: During the summer and autumn months (May to October), the yachts explore various regions of the Mediterranean, including:
- Italian & French Rivieras: Calling at glamorous ports like Nice, St. Tropez, Monte Carlo, Capri, and the Amalfi Coast.
- Greek Isles: Exploring popular islands like Santorini and Mykonos, as well as lesser-known havens.
- Adriatic Sea: Visiting Croatia and other enchanting destinations.

- Northern Europe: For the first time since 2020, SeaDream II will return to Norway for a series of scenic Norwegian Fjords cruises in Summer 2025 and 2026, including departures from Bergen and Oslo, and other Northern Europe itineraries to destinations like Bordeaux and the UK (e.g., Guernsey).
- Transatlantic Crossings: Repositioning voyages between the Caribbean and Mediterranean are offered in spring and autumn, providing longer sea days for relaxation.
