SSG-TØNSBERG. Atle Brynestad, who founded Seabourn Cruise Line, is planning a new, bigger vessel to join SeaDream Yacht Club’s two vessels SeaDream I and SeaDream II.

SeaDream last year turned in profit of NOK 33 million after a loss of NOK 34.5 million a year earlier. Operating income was also up from NOK 208 million in 2005 to NOK 252 million last year.

The two vessels in operation can accommodate 110 passengers each, while the new vessel will be built to cater for 200 passengers with a crew of minimum 150. Cruise specialist Petter Yran, who has worked with Brynestad on previous occasions, draws the new vessel.

SeaDream was founded in 2001 by Brynestad and Larry Pimentel, who was President of Seabourn and later President and CEO of the merged companies Cunard-Seabourn.
