Yachting, not cruising

SeaDream Yacht Club is built around a single idea: the finest way to travel by sea is aboard a private yacht. Its two twin vessels, SeaDream I and SeaDream II, carry just 112 guests each, looked after by around 95 crew, so the mood is more house party than cruise ship.

The club was founded in 2001 by Norwegian entrepreneur Atle Brynestad, who had earlier founded Seabourn, and it marks 25 years in 2026. Days are unstructured, dining is open and unhurried, and the yachts favor small harbors and coves that big ships sail right past.

In a word

“SeaDream is the rare line where the itinerary can bend to the guests, because the yacht is small enough to let it.”

Two twin yachts, just 112 guests

SeaDream I and SeaDream II are identical twins, intimate mega-yachts with 56 staterooms and suites apiece. With so few guests aboard and a nearly one-to-one crew ratio, service is personal to the point of anticipating what you want before you ask.

The scale changes everything. There are no crowds, no lines and no fixed seating, and the yacht can tuck into a small harbor for the evening rather than a cruise terminal. It feels less like sailing with strangers and more like joining a well-run private boat.

Open decks, open dining, and the Balinese Dream Beds

Life aboard happens outside. Dining is open seating and often alfresco, wines and spirits are included, and signature touches like caviar served in the surf and champagne on deck are part of the SeaDream language.

The top-deck Balinese Dream Beds are the club’s most famous flourish: plush daybeds where guests can sleep out under the stars on calm nights. A watersports marina folds down from the stern, so on clear days you can swim and paddle straight off the yacht.

Mediterranean summers, Caribbean winters

SeaDream follows the sun, spending summers threading the Mediterranean and the Adriatic and winters in the Caribbean. Itineraries lean toward the yachting harbors and smaller islands that suit a ship this size, with plenty of time in port.

Because the yachts are so nimble, the pace stays relaxed and the days feel unhurried. We help you match the right yacht and season to the coastline you most want to explore.

Since SeaDream Yacht Club sails the Italian coast, it is easy to add a week in the Tuscan countryside before or after your cruise.

Frequently asked questions

What is SeaDream Yacht Club known for?

SeaDream is known for boutique yachting rather than cruising. Two 112-guest mega-yachts offer open-seating dining, an unstructured pace, a watersports marina and signature moments like caviar in the surf and the top-deck Balinese Dream Beds for sleeping under the stars.

How many yachts does SeaDream have?

Two, SeaDream I and SeaDream II. They are identical twins, each carrying just 112 guests across 56 staterooms and suites, with around 95 crew, which is why service feels so personal.

Who owns SeaDream Yacht Club?

SeaDream is privately owned. It was founded in 2001 by Norwegian entrepreneur Atle Brynestad, who had earlier founded Seabourn, and it remains an independent, family-connected company rather than part of a large cruise group.

What is included in a SeaDream fare?

Fares are largely inclusive, typically covering accommodations, open-seating dining, wines and spirits, gratuities and use of the watersports marina. Some experiences and shore excursions are extra. We confirm the exact inclusions for your voyage before you book.

How big are the SeaDream yachts?

They are intentionally small. Each yacht carries a maximum of 112 guests, far fewer than a typical cruise ship, which is what allows the open decks, flexible dining and quiet harbors that define the experience.

Where does SeaDream sail?

SeaDream follows the seasons, spending summers in the Mediterranean and the Adriatic and winters in the Caribbean. Itineraries favor smaller ports and yachting harbors, usually with generous time ashore.

What is the dress code aboard SeaDream?

The style is yacht casual, with no formal nights at all. Days are relaxed and evenings are smart but comfortable. It is one of the more informal experiences in luxury cruising, by design.

How much does a SeaDream voyage cost?

Fares vary by yacht, stateroom category, season and voyage length, and much is included, so the headline number is not comparable to a mainstream cruise. Rather than quote a misleading range, we price your specific voyage and secure the best available CDV value. Request a complimentary quote and we will lay out the real numbers.
