SeaDream Yacht Club

SeaDream Yacht Club is the ultimate in all-inclusive luxury boutique cruising, or yachting, as they like to put it. It’s two ships, SeaDream I and SeaDream II, were voted the world’s best boutique ships this year by The Berlitz Guide Complete Guide to Cruising and Cruise Ships, and it’s no wonder. With a maximum of only 112 guests, the discreetly sophisticated, casual and unstructured approach to life onboard makes you feel like you are on your own private yacht.

ENTERTAINMENT

There is an evening cocktail party every night, held either in the Main Saloon or outside on the Pool Deck if the weather’s nice, and live music from a duo or solo musician. A musician plays in the Piano Bar after dinner, while The Top of The Yacht Bar is s great place to have a cocktail or the occasional disco night.

DINING

Eating is a major part of any cruise but even more so with SeaDream, where each meal is a culinary sensation, made with the finest ingredients and cooked a la minute. Breakfast and lunch are served in the outdoor Topside Restaurant and dinner is served in the elegantly appointed Dining Salon, or out on deck weather permitting. The staff is impeccable and offers a high level of service. There are open bars or a top shelf liquor menu for the real connoisseurs. Or you can take meals in your stateroom with complimentary 24-hour room service.
