22MAR2019 - NEWS - Damen Shipyards inks contract with SeaDream Yacht Club for the construction of a luxury cruise ship

Dutch shipbuilding group Damen Shipyards has officially entered the cruise market having recently signed a contract with Oslo, Norway-based SeaDream Yacht Club for a 155-meter luxury vessel. The so called Mega Yacht will be purpose-built with ice class Polar Code 6 permitting sailings to polar destinations as well as tropical ones. The order marks Damen’s official entry into the cruise market after the group launched its newest venture, Damen Cruise, in 2018. In 2018, Damen began operational control of the shipyard now known as Damen Shipyards Mangalia, in Romania, a joint venture with the Romanian Government. The yard, located on the Black Sea, is the largest in the Damen’s shipyard portfolio allowing it to construct larger, more complex vessels.
