Cruise lines - SeaDream Yacht Club
SeaDream Yacht Club is a family-owned company, conceived by Norwegian entrepreneur Atle Brynestad.
Brynestad is the founder of Seabourn Cruise Line and has served as chairman of Cunard Line Ltd. and as a board member of Carnival Cruise Lines.
When designing SeaDream Yacht Club, Brynestad focused on attention to detail and all-important, impeccable service that would define yachting.
SeaDream Yacht Club has achieved the industry’s highest accolades for its two twin, casually elegant mega-yachts, SeaDream I and SeaDream II.
With a maximum of only 112 guests and a 95-person award-winning crew, “It’s yachting, not cruising,” defines not only the size of the vessels, but the onboard lifestyle.
SeaDream Yacht Club provides a fully-inclusive yachting experience visiting small harbors and ports around the world, many inaccessible by larger ships, on seven to 15-day voyages. The SeaDream Yacht Club crew is passionate about delivering highly personalized and anticipatory service.
