SeaDream Yacht Club has added new ports to its summer and autumn 2024 sailings following the completion of its $10 million fleet refurbishment. 

 

The Norwegian-owned cruise line, which offers a 1-1 guest-to-crew ratio, currently operates 36 itineraries exploring the French and Italian rivieras, southern Italy, Aegean sea and Greek islands.

 

SeaDream has now introduced new destinations on these routes, with its yachts set to dock in Taranto in Italy, Vlore in Albania and Krk in Croatia, as well as Tangier in Morocco and Tunis in Tunisia. 

 

There will also be overnight stays in 12 of the Mediterranean ports, including Amalfi, Hvar, Positano and Villefranche-sur-Mer, as well as Santorini, where the yacht arrives in the afternoon to beat the crowds of day visitors.

 

Meanwhile, its Greek Odyssey voyage, departing 24 September for an 11-day cruise, will dock in the Cycladic ports of Tinos and Kythnos, both of which are new to SeaDream.

Changes have also been made to the itineraries of its Caribbean cruises, which begin this November and include seven and eight-night voyages. 

 

SeaDream has secured Boqueron, Puerto Rico, as an exclusive port of call, as well as the island territory’s seaside town of Salinas. Meanwhile on the island of Guadeloupe, Deshaies, the picturesque commune best known as the filming location for British TV series, Death in Paradise, will serve as the third new port on its Caribbean routes. 

 

2024 is the year of supersizing in the cruise industry. As cruise ships grow bigger and bigger, we see a growing demand for more unique and more personal experiences. We go where the big ships can’t, to smaller, more exclusive destinations, ports, villages and beaches,” said Andreas Brynestad, executive vice president of SeaDream.  

 

“Unlike bigger cruise ships, SeaDream’s yachts are still allowed to sail directly into the heart of Venice, anchor directly off Dubrovnik old town, or transit the spectacular Corinth canal,” he added.

SeaDream has also upgraded its gym, sauna and SeaDream Spa on its first ship, marking the final step in the $10 million refurbishment of the company’s twin yachts. The project saw the overhaul of its 56 suites and staterooms, as well as the addition of hammocks, a golf simulator, hot tubs and deluxe sun loungers to its sixth decks. 

 

Upgrades have also been made to enable connection to shore power, completely eliminating emissions in ports where shore power is available. Its identical sister yacht SeaDream II underwent a similar upgrade last autumn, making SeaDream Yacht Club the first luxury cruise line to upgrade its whole fleet to shore power connectivity.
