SeaDream Yacht Club guests can now book their voyages to the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Norway and Northern Europe using Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and more than 200 of the most frequently used cryptocurrencies.
As the first cruise line to embrace cryptocurrency, SeaDream is using the cryptocurrency payment platform Coinbase Commerce to ensure secure, reliable and efficient payment processing.
“SeaDream has always been an innovator, setting new standards in luxury travel. By accepting cryptocurrency, we are embracing a payment solution that is increasingly sought after by our guests,” said Andreas Brynestad, president and CEO of SeaDream Yacht Club.
The announcement was made during the opening day of WAGMI Miami, America’s longest-running crypto conference. “SeaDream is not only the first cruise line but also the first major travel company to accept cryptocurrency—setting a new standard for the future of travel and payments and that’s why we’re proud to welcome them to our stage,” said Moe Levin, founder of WAGMI Events.
SeaDream is also implementing a digital payment solution for cryptocurrency on its website. The secure payment option will be fully integrated in the current booking system, and is expected to roll out over the coming weeks.
SeaDream will also be the first cruise line to accept cryptocurrencies as payment for full-yacht charters.
“The ability to use cryptocurrency further adds to the convenience and flexibility of our discerning charter guests, eliminating currency exchange challenges and enabling seamless transactions,” added Brynestad.
