Karl WP Beyer July 24, 2020 - The Norwegian cruise company SeaDream Yacht Club is planning a new ship for 2021. The name: SeaDream Innovation. The new building, an innovative hybrid ship,is used as an expedition ship. The first trip is planned for September 18, 2021. The unique maiden voyage takes 70 days from London-Greenwich to Ushuaia / Argentina.
SeaDream Yacht Club currently operates the two twin yachts SeaDream I and II. The ships impress with their casual elegance, award-winning service, five-star restaurants and inspiring routes. The company's motto: "It's yachting, not cruising, enjoy the difference". The 108 meter long ships have a capacity of 112 passengers.

The Norwegian company apparently wants to take a piece of the booming expedition ship market. The 155 meter long new building SeaDream Innovation is designed for more passengers with a total of 110 luxurious outdoor suites. The cabin sizes are between 29 and 94 square meters. The ship, which is fueled with marine diesel, sets new impulses for environmentally friendly ship travel. Thanks to an innovative hybrid system and a 4MWh battery pack, the SeaDream Innovation can operate in sensitive waters for up to three hours without noise and without emissions. The waste heat generated by the four engines during ship operation is used for air conditioning, heating the pool and water treatment. In addition, the exhaust gases are cleaned and the ship is intended for shore power. The marvel is being built by the Dutch Damen Shipyards.

SeaDream Innovation will visit seven continents, 15 countries and 49 ports for the first 200 months after commissioning. Trips can already be booked. The highlight is the 70-day maiden voyage. It runs from Greenwich to Ushuaia. The 14-day, ultra-luxurious all-inclusive trip from Oslo to Lonyearbyen on Svalbard is less expensive. The trip starts on April 16, 2022 and is bookable for double occupancy from 9.734 euros per person.
