SeaDream guests get exclusive insights with National Geographic

Rolling out this year in the Mediterranean and beyond, these immersive small-group experiences will be offered in in Amalfi, Barcelona, Corfu, Dubrovnik, Funchal, Kusadasi, Mykonos, Naples, Rhodes, Santorini, and Sorrento.

Tours are led by National Geographic-trained guides and photographers who host between three and 26 pre-booked SeaDream guests. 

Each tour explores a distinct theme, such as History and Heritage, Photography, Gastronomy & Wine, Nature & Wildlife and People & Culture.

Exclusive experiences include a behind-the-scenes visit to the private restoration area at Barcelona’s Museum Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC), cooking with a family in Croatia and learning about sustainability from a marine biologist in Rhodes. 

On select June, July, September and October 2023 itineraries which call at Santorini, passengers can join one of two local families who will open their homes exclusively for National Geographic Day Tours and tell their multi-generational stories about living and working on the island.

Photography tours

There are photography tours of Corfu, Funchal, Mykonos and also opportunities to learn more about influential women on Turkey and ancient Roman life at Italy’s Unesco-listed Oplontis and Pompeii.

SeaDream Yacht Club’s twin yachts SeaDream I and SeaDream II each accommodate up to 56 couples and are staffed by 95 crew members. They operate on seven to 15-night voyages around the world.
