SeaDream Yacht Club presents SeaDream III, the first new yacht to join its fleet in the company's 25-year history. Bookings for SeaDream III open today.
With its debut in July 2029, SeaDream III will bring the SeaDream experience to more locations around the world, while remaining rooted in the qualities that have defined the company for the past quarter-century: intimate yachting, highly personalized service, and a strong sense of family.
“SeaDream III represents the next chapter for SeaDream,” said Atle Brynestad, founder and owner of SeaDream Yacht Club. “It will maintain the same DNA as SeaDream I and SeaDream II: personalized service, exceptional cuisine, a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, and the authentic feeling of being aboard your own yacht. With SeaDream III, the whole world becomes our destination.”
At approximately 151 meters in length, SeaDream III will welcome around 200 passengers, served by a crew of almost the same number, preserving the privacy and highly personalized service that have defined SeaDream for 25 years.
Passenger accommodations will be spread across five decks and will include a wider selection of suites, Commodore staterooms, and connecting configurations, with private balconies on four passenger decks. The larger suites and staterooms will offer more space to settle in comfortably, whether joining SeaDream for a single voyage or embarking on a longer journey.
The yacht's design will place outdoor living at its heart, with expansive upper decks, a dedicated pool deck, and multiple indoor and outdoor spaces for dining, socializing, and relaxing. Three dedicated watersports marinas will provide direct access to the sea, continuing one of the distinctive experiences aboard SeaDream I and SeaDream II.
SeaDream III will also feature an expanded spa, fitness and wellness offering, reflecting SeaDream's ongoing commitment to promoting a healthy lifestyle at sea.
For SeaDream, the experience has never been defined solely by size. It lies in the freedom to dine indoors or al fresco on deck, in personalized cuisine, in a relaxed atmosphere without formal evenings, and in the ability to fully enjoy each day according to your own preferences.
“SeaDream has never focused on size for size’s sake,” Brynestad said. “Our goal is to create fantastic days and unforgettable experiences for every passenger. SeaDream III gives us the opportunity to bring that experience to more destinations around the world.”
An inaugural season that begins in Asia
SeaDream III will make its maiden voyage from Hong Kong on July 10, 2029, sailing through the Ryukyu Islands and along the Pacific coast of Japan before arriving in Tokyo for its official christening ceremony on July 21.
The 10-night inaugural voyage will include extended stays in Ishigaki and Yakushima, as well as stops in Okinawa, Amami Oshima, Kochi and Shimizu.
Its inaugural season will continue with a collection of voyages exploring Japan and South Korea. Four 14-night round-trip journeys from Tokyo will combine northern and western Japan with South Korea, followed by a 15-night voyage from Tokyo to Hong Kong via the southern islands of Japan.
Highlights include Hakodate, Aomori, Akita, Kanazawa, Hiroshima, Kobe and Osaka; views of Mount Fuji from Shimizu and Tagonoura; the Sea of Japan; Busan and Jeju in South Korea; and the islands of Yakushima, Amami Oshima and Ishigaki.
Following its inaugural season in Japan, SeaDream III will continue its voyages to Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand. The itinerary will include Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Bali, Komodo, the Great Barrier Reef, and Tasmania, culminating in a New Year's celebration in Sydney.
“SeaDream III has been designed not only to travel farther, but to bring guests closer to the places they visit,” said Brynestad. “Its size will allow it to reach distinctive ports and sail around the world, while maintaining the highly personalized experience our guests have come to expect. This deployment reflects the SeaDream spirit: unhurried exploration, exceptional service, and access to places best enjoyed aboard a yacht.”
From Asia to the Arctic and the Great Lakes
During its first 24 months, SeaDream III will sail across six continents, 73 countries and 364 ports.
In 2030, the yacht will sail west from Asia to India, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Mediterranean, before reaching London. From there, it will explore the British Isles, the Baltic Sea, the Norwegian coast, Svalbard, Greenland, and Iceland.
Next, SeaDream III will cross the North Atlantic to Canada, continuing up the St. Lawrence River and into the Great Lakes. The voyages will include Montreal, Chicago, Toronto, and Detroit, with stops throughout Georgian Bay, Lake Superior, the Niagara Peninsula, Prince Edward County, and the St. Lawrence River.
The yacht will continue along the east coast of the United States before arriving in West Palm Beach, near the US headquarters of the SeaDream Yacht Club in Palm Beach. From there, it will embark on a series of voyages to explore the Caribbean, Central America, the Caribbean coast of Colombia, and Panama.
