  Forbes Travel Guide has rated the best dining experiences at sea with SeaDream Yacht Club coming out top of the list. Forbes Travel Guide has been setting the global standard in luxury hospitality for more than six decades. Its annual Star Awards - now in their 67th year - represent the industry's most respected benchmark, based on up to 900 exacting criteria assessed through anonymous inspections. Of all the dining experiences reviewed at sea, only five restaurants were awarded a star rating in 2025. SeaDream II was one of only three to receive the coveted four-star distinction.   “Dinner in SeaDream II’s dining room is an unhurried ritual, where every course feels like a celebration,” notes the Forbes Travel Guide review. “There are no rushed seatings or fixed schedules - just exceptional cuisine, impeccable service and the lingering pleasure of a meal that feels tailor-made for you.”   The rating highlights SeaDream’s commitment to daily-crafted menus featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a personalised dining experience in both its open-air and indoor settings.   In addition to the restaurant honour, SeaDream II itself earned a Recommended rating from Forbes Travel Guide, placing it among just 14 cruise ships globally to be recognised in 2025. The Recommended rating underscores SeaDream’s reputation for intimate, high-touch travel experiences.   “From the moment you step aboard SeaDream II, you’ll feel less like a cruise passenger and more like a guest aboard a private yacht,” the review states. “Unlike massive cruise liners, SeaDream II slips into smaller harbours like Portofino, St. Barts or Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor. You dock where the mega-yachts do, stepping ashore into charming villages or pristine beaches without the usual tourist crowds.”   “This recognition is a true reflection of the passion and precision our culinary team and crew deliver every day. We take great pride in offering nothing but the finest dining experience at sea,” said Andreas Brynestad of SeaDream Yacht Club.   The SeaDream yachts are the only cruise ships where all guests can dine al fresco in one single seating. With only 112 guests and a 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio, SeaDream delivers a uniquely personal and luxurious yachting experience.   “Freedom is at the heart of everything we do. Guests are free to dine when they want, where they want and with whom they want - whether that’s a relaxed breakfast al fresco, a private dinner under the stars or a lively meal with new friends,” said Christophe Cornu, SeaDream Yacht Club’s Executive Hotel Manager. “A SeaDream dining experience is fresh, flexible and deeply personal, crafted à la minute with local ingredients and global inspiration,” added Cornu.   Forbes Travel Guide is the only independent global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and cruise ships.

We are thrilled to recognise their dedication to creating world-class experiences for today’s discerning guest.”

Andreas Brynestad of SeaDream Yacht Club said: “These itineraries navigate away from crowded ports, allowing our guests to explore some of the most beautiful locations in the Bahamas.” Since its founding in 2001, SeaDream Yacht Club has occasionally included the Bahamas in its itineraries. Now, SeaDream will significantly increase the presence in Bahamas, offering a total of 10 Bahamas voyages through 2027. In both 2025 and 2026, SeaDream will operate seven-day Bountiful Bahamas voyages - two roundtrip departures from Palm Beach and one from San Juan. The 2027 program will expand further to include three roundtrip voyages from Palm Beach. “Guests can look forward to experiencing the Bahamas in the most unique and luxurious way possible - anchoring in hidden coves, enjoying watersports directly from the yacht and dining under the stars,” Brynestad added. The Bahamas voyages expand SeaDream Yacht Club’s boutique Caribbean cruise offerings, which include seven- to 11-day yachting voyages.

"This is an important milestone and a significant step in our journey to more sustainable cruising," said Andreas Brynestad of SeaDream Yacht Club. SeaDream II completed the upgrade last autumn, while SeaDream I successfully underwent the upgrade during a recent stay at Naval Rocha Yard in Lisbon. SeaDream says it is the first luxury cruise line to retrofit all ships with shore power connectivity. This summer, both SeaDream yachts will sail the Mediterranean, including the Greek Isles and French and Italian Rivieras, before transiting to the Caribbean for the 2024/25 winter season. "We are committed to having a positive impact in the communities and destinations we visit," said Brynestad. The recent drydock of SeaDream I also marked the final step in a full keel-to-mast upgrade of SeaDream's twin yachts. The $10 million project included upgrades of all suites, staterooms, public areas and open deck spaces. The upgrades included enhanced stateroom space and lounging spaces featuring hammocks, a golf simulator, sun loungers and two new couples' hot tubs. The project also saw SeaDream's signature marinas expanded by adding the first water slide on a cruise ship directly from ship to sea.
