SeaDream Yacht Club will not proceed with a new luxury
expedition ship.
The SeaDream Innovation had been scheduled for delivery in
September 2021.
SeaDream and Damen Shipyards "have in good faith and with
mutual understanding decided not to proceed," SeaDream said in a statement.
"The response from our past guests and the market in general
has been overwhelming, despite the ship not being scheduled for delivery for
almost two years," said Andreas Brynestad, SeaDream executive vice president. "Since
the ship will not be delivered, all booked guests will be contacted and issued
full refunds in the coming days."
Owner and chairman Atle Brynestad said SeaDream is pursuing
other newbuild opportunities.
