As SeaDream prepares to set sail again in just four days from Athens, the ultra-luxury line has added four spectacular voyages to Norway to its summer season, as well as a very unique trip from Oslo to Civitavecchia. SeaDream's first voyage to Norway will depart from Oslo on July 7.
SeaDream's voyages to Norway generated unprecedented excitement last summer. The company initially planned to sail to Norway with a single ship, the SeaDream I, for nine voyages. After the first few voyages began selling out rapidly, SeaDream decided to add the SeaDream II to double capacity and meet the overwhelming demand. The entire 21-voyage Norwegian season sold out in record time. SeaDream completed a successful season in Norway with zero positive cases of COVID-19 without compromising on luxury.
SeaDream had received numerous messages from past guests who loved their experience in Norway and from those who missed out when trips sold out quickly. In response to overwhelming demand, SeaDream has carefully crafted four spectacular itineraries in Norway this summer, with destinations handpicked by SeaDream CEO and founder Atle Brynestad.
The most popular Norwegian itineraries include:
- Bergen – Known to Norwegians as “the heart of the fjords,” Bergen is Norway’s second-largest city. These tours will offer the opportunity to explore Bergen’s hillside houses, cobblestone streets, and world-renowned cuisine.
- Olden – A small village located at the mouth of the Oldeelva River. Olden is the gateway to Norway's glaciers. SeaDream guests will have the opportunity to explore its rugged mountains and roaring waterfalls, as well as many historical sites.
- Lofoten – The Lofoten Islands, a summer destination beloved by Norwegians, stretch across the Norwegian Sea, well above the Arctic Circle. SeaDream guests will enjoy three days in Lofoten filled with unforgettable views of majestic mountains, stunning fjords, and surf-swept beaches, all while enjoying up to 24 hours of sunlight per day.
The crown jewel of SeaDream this Norwegian summer season is the Grand Voyage from Oslo to Rome. This journey includes a scenic transit through the Little Belt Strait and the Kiel Canal. It also offers a taste of France in Bordeaux and Spain with stops in Vigo, Cádiz, and Ibiza before culminating in Rome, Italy.
Thanks to their size, SeaDream's superyachts can quickly adapt their itineraries to comply with government regulations. SeaDream can visit exclusive destinations that other ships cannot due to their size. SeaDream chose Norway this summer because of its very low COVID-19 incidence. Yesterday, the fully vaccinated SeaDream crew flew from Malta to Norway to prepare for sailings in the country next month.

“For 20 years at SeaDream, we have strived to make our guests’ dreams come true. Our guests asked us to return to Norway, and we listened, crafting six incredible itineraries they can experience this summer,” said Andreas Brynestad of SeaDream. “We believe there is no safer or more luxurious way to experience Norway this summer than aboard SeaDream. We know our guests will enjoy the SeaDream experience of casual elegance and gourmet dining against the most beautiful backdrop in the world. Our yachts offer a naturally healthy, open-air environment where space, fresh air, and wholesome food have always been central components. We are thrilled to be back doing what we do best: bringing our signature SeaDream service to our loyal guests.”.
