Leave the crowds and the mega-ships behind as you cruise into a pristine Mediterranean harbor at the bow of your private luxury yacht. Sound too good to be true? To SeaDream passengers, yachting is a way of life far different from big ship cruising. You will relax with SeaDream’s award–winning service and cuisine, and can decide how active you want to be as you experience the ultimate in luxury, privacy and personalization. SeaDream’s enticing itineraries venture into places where the big ships cannot follow: with ports of call in Europe and the Mediterranean from April to November, and the Caribbean for the remaining months of the year.
Aboard SeaDream yachts, you will experience award-winning 5-star service from the moment you are welcomed aboard by the Captain. As these yachts carry only a maximum of 112 guests and a crew of 95, guests are assured of incomparable, personalized attention. The staff specializes in learning all they can about guests to make your cruise as enjoyable as possible and anticipate your every wish. Be aware, however – with the attention you receive here, you may never want to cruise on another ship again!
Staterooms aboard SeaDream yachts offer a new level of elegance and stylish comfort, with tasteful appointments throughout. Each features a stunning ocean view, along with the finest Balinese dream beds and luxuriant Belgian linens and bedding. The private bathroom features a multi-jet shower massage and Bvlgari bath products, and your personal refreshment bar is complemented by 24-hour room service. Electronics are state-of-the-art with flat-screen TV, DVD, and CD player as well as a dataport to provide in-room access to email. If you prefer to write, each stateroom comes with your own personalized yacht stationary.

Beyond the water sports, SeaDream yachts have a wide array of land equipment for your use.
