In short

Dream is a 106.5-metre motor yacht that began as a passenger ship delivered by Haliç Tersaneleri in 1997; her conversion started in Greece in 2008 under the project name Poseidonos and was completed in 2018 (Boat International, Boat International). Only the hull and the engine room were kept: the bow, stern and superstructure are new, and she grew from 93 to 106.5 metres (Boat International, Boat International). She won the Converted Yachts category at the 2019 World Superyacht Awards (Boat International) and sleeps 36 guests (Boat International), where most charter yachts carry no more than 12 (YachtCharterFleet).
