Known for its stark mountain peaks and spectacular glaciers, Longyearbyen was named for the American John Monroe Longyear, who established a mining operation here in 1906. In the summer season, many species of birds can be found nesting in the steep cliffs while the seaside harbors a number of marine animals from white whales, seals and walruses. In the small town, are museums, local shops and restaurants to explore at a leisurely pace.
Introducing SeaDream III
SeaDream III represents the next evolution of the SeaDream experience, building upon the iconic design and beloved spaces of our inaugural yachts. A guest-to-staff ratio of nearly one-to-one brings SeaDream's legendary hospitality to every aspect of your voyage, complemented by immersive cultural programming and bespoke Shoreside Casuals®. With late stays and overnights woven into each itinerary, SeaDream III invites you to connect more deeply than ever before with iconic destinations and the spirit of yachting.
A New Era of Luxury Yachting
SeaDream III carries the intimacy that defined the first two yachts and gives it greater reach. A guest-to-staff ratio approaching one-to-one, open-seating dining, and the freedom to change plans on the day — now at a scale that can cross oceans.
The result is a yacht that feels familiar to anyone who has sailed with us, and entirely new in where it can take them.
A Wider World Within Easy Reach
With greater range and endurance, SeaDream III opens new regions to SeaDream, including Asia, Arabia, India, the South Pacific, South America and the Great Lakes.
Her shallow draft and slender beam preserve the freedom to enter intimate harbors and secluded anchorages beyond the reach of larger vessels, bringing the signature SeaDream experience to more of the world.
