SeaDream Yacht Club Leads with Eco-Friendly Fleet Updates
SeaDream Yacht Club has become the first luxury cruise line to equip its entire fleet with shore power connectivity.
Advanced Technology to Reduce Emissions
By implementing this cutting-edge shore power technology, SeaDream yachts can now switch off their engines at ports that provide shore power, reducing emissions to zero.
Significant Milestone in Sustainable Cruising
This is an important milestone and a significant step in our journey to more sustainable cruising, said Andreas Brynestad
Completion of Upgrades on Both Yachts
Last fall, SeaDream II finished the upgrade, while SeaDream I completed it during a recent maintenance period at Naval Rocha Yard in Lisbon, Portugal.
Exploring the Mediterranean and Caribbean
Both SeaDream yachts will visit Mediterranean yachting harbors such as the Greek Isles, and the French and Italian Rivieras, before heading to the Caribbean for the winter season of 2024/25.
Commitment to Sustainable Travel
“Visiting some of the most beautiful destinations on the planet comes with a responsibility. We are committed to having a positive impact in the communities and destinations we visit. Our employees, our guests, and our partners are all an important part of our ambition to inspire more sustainable travel” said Brynestad.
Extensive Yacht Enhancements
The drydock of SeaDream I marked the final stage of a comprehensive upgrade of SeaDream’s twin yachts, costing over $10 million.
The project involved refurbishments of suites, staterooms, public areas, and open deck spaces, maintaining the intimate luxury experience SeaDream is known for.
Pioneers in Sustainable Luxury Travel
Since 2001, SeaDream Yacht Club has set the standard for boutique cruising, opposing mass tourism. The shore power upgrades reflect a consistent dedication to sustainability in luxury travel.
