SeaDream Yacht Club is half way through its drive for sustainable cruising by providing its luxury vessels with shore power connectivity.
SeaDream II successfully underwent the upgrade during a recent planned yard-stay at Naval Rocha Yard in Lisbon. Identical sister ship SeaDream I will be upgraded during her planned yard stay in April 2024.
Being able to connect to shoreside electricity enables the yachts to turn off their engines and reduce emissions to zero in ports that offer shore power facilities.
The upgrades make SeaDream Yacht Club the first luxury cruise line to retrofit its entire fleet with shore power connectivity.
“This is a significant milestone and an important step in our journey to more sustainable cruising,” said Andreas Brynestad of SeaDream Yacht Club.
“We are committed to having a positive impact in the communities and destinations we visit.”
