Starting in 2021, SeaDream Innovation is the latest vessel to join the SeaDream family– “the world’s most hybrid yacht”, this ship has received an environmental grant from the Norwegian government for its construction, and will offer a route around the entire globe, including the Polar Regions, on an 88-day voyage will stop at more than 50 ports
