SeaDream Yacht Club unveiled its spring 2028 Caribbean season, offering 32 new voyages between January and April aboard upgraded mega-yachts SeaDream I and SeaDream II. Each itinerary is curated with calls at yachting-only harbors and overnight stays. “We continue to listen to our guests. They want more of the Virgin Islands, more time ashore and the freedom to explore at their own pace,” said Andreas Brynestad of SeaDream Yacht Club. “This new season is our answer to that.” For 2028, SeaDream Yacht Club’s popular Bahamas yachting voyages return for the fourth consecutive year. With departures directly from Palm Beach, Florida, the seven-day voyages explore the Bahamas’ best beaches, deserted cays, local culture and national parks. “We go where the bigger ships can’t. Our yachts offer a different way to experience the Caribbean,” Brynestad added. Highlights of SeaDream Yacht Club’s 2028 Caribbean season include: More U.S. and British Virgin Islands Frequent calls on Jost van Dyke, Norman Island, Prickly Pear, Leverick Bay, Culebra, Vieques, and other secluded harbors. More round-trip voyages The majority of voyages are designed as round-trips. With convenient departures from San Juan, St. Thomas, or Palm Beach. Extended overnight stays in St. Barths Nearly every voyage includes full days and an overnight stay in chic St. Barths, giving guests ample time to fully enjoy the island’s celebrated dining, shopping and nightlife. Full Moon Parties at Trellis Bay Four voyages align with the iconic Full Moon Party at Trellis Bay on Beef Island. This monthly celebration of local music, fire dancers and Caribbean cuisine is accessible only to yachts. Yachting Land Adventures SeaDream’s signature Yachting Land Adventures include access to golf courses, guided snorkeling adventures and an evening visit to Bioluminescent Bay in Vieques, Puerto Rico.  New Exclusive Destinations In 2028, SeaDream will call on Port St. Charles, Barbados, for the first time, adding a day of leisure at this luxury marina resort.

Guests also enjoy complimentary use of SeaDream’s marina and watersports equipment, including jet skis, paddleboards and water slides from ship to sea.

  SeaDream Yacht Club has connected SeaDream II to shore power for the first time, eliminating all emissions during a visit to Bergen, Norway this week. With their advanced shore power technology, both SeaDream yachts can switch off their engines and reduce emissions in ports that offer shore power facilities. During a 14-hour call in Bergen this week, SeaDream II connected to the local power grid in Bergen for the first time – reducing emissions to zero.   Andreas Brynestad of SeaDream Yacht Club comments: “This is an important milestone for us, and another step forward in our journey to more sustainable travel. Visiting some of the world’s most beautiful destinations comes with a responsibility. We are glad to see more ports following the lead of Port of Bergen and other front-runners in offering shore power facilities. It’s a benefit for us, it’s a benefit for the local communities and it’s a benefit for the environment. We are ready to connect wherever the facilities are available to us, and we have been for a long time. The more ports that make shore power available, the greater the impact we can have together.”   SeaDream II was upgraded to accommodate shore power connectivity in 2023, while SeaDream I successfully underwent the upgrade during a yard stay at Naval Rocha Yard in Lisbon in 2024.   Since founding modern yachting in 2001, SeaDream Yacht Club has shaped and defined boutique yachting as the antithesis of mass tourism. The recent upgrade of shore power capabilities marks the latest in a decades-long commitment to sustainability in luxury travel.  

• SeaDream’s yachting itineraries are optimized for slower speed and lower fuel consumption, significantly reducing fuel consumption and emissions compared to traditional cruises.
• SeaDream was the first luxury cruise line to ban the use of cheap, polluting heavy fuel oil (HFO). Since 2013, the company has powered its yachts with lighter, less polluting fuel, significantly reducing emissions.
• More than a decade ago, SeaDream Yacht Club was the first cruise line to introduce a full plant-based menu. Offering the widest selection of plant-based alternatives at sea, as well as sourcing more goods locally and minimizing food waste, substantially contributes to a reduced carbon footprint.
• SeaDream Yacht Club was the first luxury cruise line to eliminate unnecessary single-use plastic across the fleet, replacing plastic items with more sustainable options or removing single-use items altogether.
• All SeaDream guests receive a personalized glass bottle, which can be refilled at water stations across the yachts, significantly reducing the number of plastic water bottles. In addition, biodegradable, organic luxury bath amenities from Elm Organics are available in all staterooms and suites.
• All SeaDream Yacht Club voyages include late-night departures, often with overnight stays, aiming to maximize time spent in port for deeper cultural immersion and enhance local value creation for communities and businesses.
