SeaDream has announced its next ship, the SeaDream III.
Following a teaser, the cruise line shared that the 230-guest ship will debut in July 2029 with a 27-night inaugural sailing from Hong Kong through Japan and Korea.
Cruise Industry News understands the ship will be built in China.
From there, it will sail to destinations in Southeast Asia, Australia, the Arctic, the Great Lakes and beyond, culminating in a 180-night World Voyage from West Palm Beach to London in 2031.
Bookings for SeaDream III’s inaugural voyages open on September 1, with 49 voyages currently available.
“SeaDream III represents the next chapter for SeaDream,” said Atle Brynestad, founder and owner of SeaDream Yacht Club. “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.”
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, SeaDream stated.
Expansive upper decks will feature 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 its predecessors, the SeaDream I and SeaDream
The ship will also feature expanded spa, fitness and wellness offerings.
Maiden Season in Asia
SeaDream said that the ship would sail to smaller harbors, remote islands and never before reached coastlines.
The SeaDream III is scheduled to embark on her 10-night 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 her official christening on July 21.
Her inaugural season will continue with 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.
Following her first season in Japan, the 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,” added 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.”
