SeaDream Yacht Club has announced SeaDream III, which will be the first new yacht to join the family-owned luxury yachting company’s fleet in 25 years. The new yacht will debut in July 2029 and reservations for its inaugural voyages are now open.
“SeaDream III represents the next chapter for SeaDream,” said Atle Brynestad, founder and owner of SeaDream Yacht Club, in a press release statement. “She will carry forward the same DNA as SeaDream I and SeaDream II: personalized service, exceptional cuisine, a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and the genuine feeling of being on your own yacht. With SeaDream III, the whole world becomes our destination.”
SeaDream III will be approximately 495 feet in length with capacity for around 200 guests and a crew of nearly equal number, preserving the intimacy and personalized service of the cruise line’s other vessels. Guest accommodations will span five decks and include a greater selection of suites, Commodore staterooms and connecting configurations, with private balconies across four guest decks.
The yacht’s design will feature expansive upper decks, a dedicated pool deck and multiple indoor and al fresco spaces for dining, gathering and relaxing. Three dedicated watersports marinas will provide direct access to the sea, building upon one of the signature experiences aboard SeaDream I and SeaDream II. SeaDream III will also feature expanded spa, fitness and wellness offerings, reflecting SeaDream’s continued focus on promoting a healthy lifestyle at sea.
“SeaDream has never been about size for its own sake,” added Brynestad. “Our focus is creating fantastic days and unforgettable experiences for every guest. SeaDream III gives us the opportunity to bring that experience to more places around the world.”
SeaDream III will embark on its maiden voyage from Hong Kong on July 10, 2029, sailing through the Ryukyu Islands and along Japan’s Pacific coast before arriving in Tokyo for an official christening on July 21. The 10-night maiden voyage will feature extended stays in Ishigaki and Yakushima, along with calls in Okinawa, Amami Oshima, Kochi and Shimizu.
The inaugural season will continue with a collection of voyages exploring Japan and South Korea. Four 14-night round-trip voyages from Tokyo will combine northern and western Japan with South Korea, followed by a 15-night voyage from Tokyo to Hong Kong through Japan’s southern islands. Highlights will include Hakodate, Aomori, Akita, Kanazawa, Hiroshima, Kobe and Osaka; Mount Fuji views from Shimizu and Tagonoura; Japan’s Inland Sea; Busan and Jeju in South Korea; and the islands of Yakushima, Amami Oshima and Ishigaki.
Following its first season in Japan, SeaDream III will continue to Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand. Voyages will feature 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 she visits,” said Brynestad. “Her size will allow her to reach distinctive harbors and sail globally while maintaining the highly personalized experience our guests expect. This deployment reflects the spirit of SeaDream: unhurried exploration, exceptional service and access to places best experienced by yacht.”
In 2030, the yacht will sail west from Asia to India, the Arabian Peninsula and the Mediterranean before arriving in London. From there, itineraries will explore the British Isles, the Baltic, coastal Norway, Svalbard, Greenland and Iceland. SeaDream III will then sail the North Atlantic to Canada, continuing through the St. Lawrence and into the Great Lakes. Voyages will include Montreal, Chicago, Toronto and Detroit, with calls throughout Georgian Bay, Lake Superior, the Niagara Peninsula, Prince Edward County and the St. Lawrence.
The yacht will continue along the American East Coast before arriving in West Palm Beach, near SeaDream Yacht Club’s U.S. headquarters. From there, she will begin a series of voyages exploring the Caribbean, Central America, Colombia’s Caribbean coast and Panama.
On January 5, 2031, SeaDream III will depart West Palm Beach on a 180-night World Voyage to London. The voyage will transit the Panama Canal before following the Pacific coast of South America through Ecuador, Peru and Chile. SeaDream III will then journey through the South Pacific, visiting Easter Island, French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Niue, Tonga, Fiji and Vanuatu before continuing to Australia, Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
From there, the World Voyage will continue to Sri Lanka, the Maldives, India and the Arabian Peninsula before visiting Egypt and Jordan and transiting the Suez Canal. Its final chapters will unfold throughout the Mediterranean and along Europe’s Atlantic coast, concluding in London on July 5, 2031.
