SeaDream Yacht Club Announces Expansion to Over 60 Hidden Harbours by 2028
The luxury cruise line aims to enhance its unique private-yacht experience with an extensive collection of voyages focusing on secluded destinations.
SeaDream Yacht Club is charting an ambitious new course, adding more than 60 new and rarely visited ports between 2026 and 2028 and giving guests access to intimate harbours that big cruise ships simply can’t reach.
SeaDream’s off-the-beaten-path yachting vision
The family-owned luxury line is leaning into its private-yacht ethos with a multi-year collection of voyages focused on authenticity, flexibility, and small places. The 2026 season is already underway with maiden calls, while 27 new ports will debut in 2027 and at least 28 more in 2028, with additional destinations to be announced.
From secluded Mediterranean coves and remote North Atlantic islands to low-key Caribbean marinas, SeaDream is deliberately curating ports that are difficult to access independently and off the radar of larger luxury brands. As Executive Chairman Andreas Brynestad notes, the goal is to satisfy guests’ craving for “authenticity and freedom” by lingering longer in small harbours and making the yachts feel like a true home at sea.
2026: New Mediterranean gems and Caribbean coves
In 2026, twin mega-yachts SeaDream I and SeaDream II are already sailing to new ports that bring guests closer to local culture and nature. Highlights include:
- Primosten, Croatia – A medieval peninsula town with cobblestone lanes, pebble beaches, and vineyard-covered hills, featured on a June 18, 2026 itinerary.
- Syvota, Greece – A cluster of crystalline coves and islets on the Epirus coast, ideal for swimming, watersports, and relaxed beach time.
- Galaxidi, Greece – A neoclassical harbor town near Delphi, appearing on several 2026 voyages and pairing waterfront strolls with ancient history.
- Tinos, Greece – Known for its marble craftsmen, whitewashed hilltop villages, and authentic Cycladic atmosphere.
- Setúbal, Portugal – A historic city south of Lisbon with a 16th-century monastery, lively market, and easy access to Arrábida’s coastal nature; first visited on October 23, 2026.
- Fajardo Bay, Puerto Rico – A return after a decade to this bioluminescent bay, offering night-time kayaking among glowing waters plus access to exclusive golf courses.
These fresh stops sit alongside SeaDream favourites such as Amalfi, Hvar, and St. Barths, with frequent late-night and overnight stays so guests can linger in port after dark.
