SEADREAM YACHT CLUB M/Y LUXURY CRUISE

Let's face it! Some vacations at sea can be boring. But a holiday with SeaDream Yacht Club is something new. Unstructured! Unexpected! A casual, free-form holiday with plenty of room for personal choice.

We are not a cruise line. Quite simply, yachting is different from cruising. Yachting has an open casual ambience. Cruising does not. Yachting provides guests the ability to fulfill their dreams at their own pace without having to stick to a rigid fixed schedule. With yachting it's no clocks, no crowds, no lines, no stress.

WHAT IS SEADREAM YACHT CLUB

SeaDream Yacht Club is the innovative new yachting venture by Norwegian entrepreneur Atle Brynestad who founded the highly acclaimed Seabourn Cruise Line and Larry Pimentel, who was President of Seabourn under Brynestad and later President and CEO of the merged companies Cunard-Seabourn. Pimentel is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SeaDream Yacht Club and a co-owner. Brynestad and Pimentel have brought into SeaDream a small group of colleagues with vast industry experience. The company now operates the two ultra-luxury mega yachts, SeaDream I and SeaDream II. They were originally introduced as the Sea Goddess twins and were the prototypes of the luxury, intimate yachting experience.

WHY IS SEADREAM CALLED A YACHT CLUB?

Yachting features an open and unstructured ambience and provides guests the ability to fulfill their own dreams at their own pace. No clocks, no crowds, no lines, no stress. The key word for the SeaDream yachting experience is "unstructured." It's all about personal choice. Think of it as a free-form holiday. SeaDream is a yacht company, not a cruise line.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SEADREAM YACHTING EXPERIENCE?

Flexible Schedules and Itineraries - Although the SeaDream yachts depart their first port and arrive at their last port as scheduled, arrivals and departures at intermediate ports are not necessarily cast in stone. Captains have the authority to adjust for local opportunities such as making an unscheduled call at a small port to visit a local fish market or to remain longer in a secluded bay so guests can enjoy a few more hours of water sports. Overnighting in Key Ports - Cruise ships usually arrive at ports of call in the early morning and depart in the evening the same day. SeaDream overnights at such ports as Monte Carlo and St. Tropez in the Mediterranean because the action in those ports doesn't get started until late in the evening. Raiding the Pantry - SeaDream guests dine in an indoor Dining Salon, in an outdoor Topside Restaurant or from Room Service. They can also raid the pantry 24-hours a day for cookies and milk or make themselves their own customized sandwich---just as they can at home. Officers and Staff Lead Guests on personal off-ship Experiences - Officers and staff frequently lead guests to favorite sites since they know these sailing regions intimately. No Tux for Guys, No Gala Gowns for Gals - the SeaDream yachting experience is a casual affair. There is no formal dress code.

WHAT KIND OF ACCOMMODATIONS ARE FOUND ON SEADREAM YACHTS?

SeaDream I and SeaDream II are large yachts with only 55 guest accommodations. Fifty-four of these are Yacht Club Staterooms of 195 square feet. Sixteen of these are convertible to Commodore Club Staterooms of 390 square feet. There is also an Owner's Suite of 450 square feet. Therefore, the yachts will accommodate from 47 to 55 couples based on how the staterooms are configured.
