SeaDream I

The 1984-built SeaDream 1 yacht was constructed by STX Finland (Petter Yran & Bjorn Storbraaten, Helsinki Finland). Previously, the cruise ship was operated by Cunard Line as "Sea Goddess I". The vessel has been part of the SeaDream Yacht Club fleet since 2001. Her only fleetmate is the sistership SeaDream 2 (1985), with a newbuild planned for the future - SeaDream Innovation (concept superyacht).

The vessel (IMO number 8203438) is currently Bahamas-flagged (MMSI 308908000) and registered in Nassau.

History - construction and ownership

The 112-passenger ship SeaDream I is virtually identical to her sistership SeaDream II. She was designed for independent, experienced travelers who prefer smaller ships without the crowds typically found on larger vessels. The onboard atmosphere is one of discreet sophistication. Public rooms are elegant and stylish, with decorative flowers and potpourri throughout.

Decks and Cabins

The superyacht SeaDream 1 has a total of 56 staterooms (all Suites, in 4 grades) and a maximum passenger capacity of 112 (plus 100 crew members). Most accommodations are Yacht Club Staterooms (54 total, sized 195 ft2 / 18 m2), of which 16 can be converted into 8 Commodore Suites (390 ft2 / 36 m2).

The ship has no cabins with step-out balconies. The largest accommodations are the Owner Suite (445 ft2 / 41 m2) and Admiral Suite (375 ft2 / 35 m2).

Each stateroom features a marble bathroom (Bulgari bath amenities, plush cotton bathrobes, magnifying mirror, massage shower units), a spacious living area, smart UHDTV, CD/DVD system, USB charging ports, Internet outlets, iPod docking stations, and personalized stationery. Refrigerators and mini-bars are stocked with soft drinks, beer, and bottled spring water (all beverages are complimentary).

The yacht has 6 decks, of which 5 are passenger-accessible and 3 contain cabins.

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

A signature feature of SeaDream cruises in warm destinations is the beach barbecue "caviar in the surf" (a beachside BBQ dining experience). Another benefit is the onboard drinks policy—most beverages are complimentary, except for premium wines and select high-end brands. All meals in the Dining Room are served with open seating. Breakfast is typically served at the ship's Topside Restaurant, where guests can choose from fruits, bread, cereals, and yogurt at a small buffet, while hot dishes are ordered from a menu. Lunch is also served at the Topside Restaurant, while dinner venues vary.

Shipboard entertainment options - Fun and Sport

SeaDream entertainment options include a Piano Bar, Main Lounge, Boutique, Promenade (Deck 5), Spa, Gym, Beauty Salon, and first-run movies, as well as the aft Sundeck swimming pool and Jacuzzi. The main gathering places for passengers are the lounge, library, and living room. Guests can enjoy evenings at the piano bar (which also hosts karaoke) or visit the small casino with five slot machines and two blackjack tables. Complimentary equipment includes snorkeling gear, kayaks, wakeboards, stand-up paddleboards, sailboats, jet skis, Hobie Cats (sailing catamarans), a banana boat, a floating island, a trampoline, and electric mountain bikes.

Both SeaDream yachts feature "Top of the Yacht" bars (added during the 2001 drydock), along with eight alcoves located on the port and starboard sides of the funnel (equipped with padded two-person loungers). At the forward section of the Sundeck, there are large hammocks, additional sun loungers, and two Jacuzzies (installed during the 2022 drydock), as well as a Golf Simulator (offering more than 30 golf course options) that also functions as a cinema/theater.

The superyacht has one elevator (midship, connecting all decks except Crew Deck 1 and Deck 6 Sundeck) and an Infirmary/Medical Facility (hospital room and pharmacy staffed by a resident physician).

Itineraries

Traditionally, SeaDream 1's itinerary program focuses on Mediterranean voyages (homeporting in Civitavecchia-Rome, Venice, Piraeus-Athens, Istanbul Turkey), as well as Caribbean voyages (mainly 7-day cruises) homeporting in Bridgetown Barbados.

The cruise yacht is also available for private charters with custom-designed itineraries.

Following the Coronavirus crisis, both SeaDream yachts resumed operations in July 2021 (Europe/Mediterranean deployment). Caribbean operations restarted in November 2021, with SeaDream 2 sailing from San Juan Puerto Rico (Nov 20) and SeaDream 1 from Bridgetown Barbados (Nov 26).
