SeaDream Yacht Club offers luxury small ship cruises -- a true yachting experience
Yachting is an open, unstructured ambience that provides each guest the opportunity to enjoy their trip at their own pace and in their own style. SeaDream Yacht Club states it means no clocks, no lines, no crowds, no stress. It's unstructured. It's all about personal choice, a free form holiday in which guests feel they are aboard their own yacht.
The cruise schedules and itineraries are flexible. Both the Sea Dream I and SeaDream II sail on scheduled 7-day itineraries. However, during those 7-days, the itinerary can be changed to take advantage of interesting events in unscheduled ports of call or to allow guests to remain longer in a secluded bay to spend more time enjoying water sports activities.
The ships always overnight in ports to allow guests to savor the nightlife which many times doesn't start until later in the evening.
The SeaDream yachting experience is casually elegant which means no gowns or tuxes. Clothing is casual during the day and casually elegant resort wear in the evening.
The yachts may be smaller than cruise ships but they offer most of the same amenities.
- A Thai certified spa that is the only one of its kind at sea
- The fitness center has state-of-the-art equipment

SeaDream Yacht Club emphasizes that it's yachting -- not crusing. We also label it as small ship cruising.
The ultra-luxury yachts, SeaDream I and SeaDream 2 offer a casual, intimate, elegant, luxury cruises. Ships are clean, chic, and sophisticated. Past guests love their experiences, and many have taken several cruises on these yachts. In 2006, Conde Nast Traveler's Readers Choice gave SeaDream Yacht Club the highest overall score for any passenger ship large or small and it was the only cruise line rated in the Top 100 Best Travel Experiences For 2006.
So, why is it called a yachting experience instead of a cruise? SeaDream says yachting features an open and unstructured ambience that provides each guest the opportunity to enjoy the trip at their own pace and in their own style. No clocks, no crowds, no lines, no stress. Unstructured! Guests feel as though they are on their own yacht, and with only 110 guests and 89 crew, each guest receives personal attention.
SeaDream yachting is perfect for independent travelers who don't like to dress up formally and don't need a lot of scheduled entertainment to have a good time. The age ratios are: 1/4 of passengers are under 40; 1/2 of the passengers are in their 50's to early 60's; 1/4 of the passengers are over 65.
There are scheduled 7 day itineraries, and the yachts depart from scheduled ports and return to scheduled ports. However, what happens in between the departure and arrival is flexible. Captains have the authority to adjust the itinerary for local opportunities. For example, the yachts may make unscheduled calls at small ports that have an interesting event or may stay longer in a secluded bay so guests can continue to enjoy water sports. SeaDream yachts also overnight at many ports of call so guests can enjoy their time ashore to the fullest.
Food is 5* gourmet; caviar and Champagne are included -- as well as wine with lunch and dinner. All dining is open seating. Rooms are spacious with luxury amenities and abundant storage. All rooms are ocean view. The yachts feature an Asian spa and wellness center, small well-appointed fitness center, golf, simulator, small casino, piano bar, pool, hot tub, first run films in the main lounge or on deck, dancing. There is a complimentary open bar policy in public rooms and on deck.
Cruise itineraries are 7 or 14 night cruises. From May through October SeaDream I and SeaDream II sail to yachting ports in the French and Italian Riviera, Costa del Sol in Spain, the Amalfi Coast in Italy, the Greek Islands, and the Adriatic and Black Seas, including Nice, Monte Carlo, Cannes, St. Tropez, Santorini, Barcelona, and Portofino.
From November through April, the yachts visit harbors in the Caribbean such as St. John, St. Croix, St. Martin, Virgin Gorda, St. Barts, Jost van Dyke, Barbados, the Grenadines, Saba Nevis and more.
