SeaDream - Your Private Villa at Sea!
SeaDream Yacht Club
Just what is the "Good Life"?
Undoubtedly it’s many things to many people. But perhaps your definition is very close to mine. The Good Life allows you the freedom and privacy to be yourself, to let yourself go, so to speak, in an unstructured and unprogrammed ambience. Serenity when you want it.
Excitement and fun when you want it. And by the way, those concepts are not mutually exclusive. An intimate, friendly, comfortable, romantic, lifestyle is what I seek most in my “downtime”. Does that sound like a dream come true?
It can be with SeaDream – a seagoing yachting lifestyle of well being, health and happiness. SeaDream Yacht Club are the new owners of the former Seabourn Sea Goddess I and II.
The two yachts, renamed SeaDream I and SeaDream II, were completely redesigned and refitted in Norway in January and April 2002 by the same firm responsible for the original design of the Seabourn ultra-luxury yachting concept. Small and intimate, the SeaDream sisters carry only 110 guests each in a style that makes unwinding a simple art form.
Naturally you want to spend a lot of time on deck. After all, you do want to be close to the sun, the sky and the sea, don’t you? But at bedtime or those times when you just want to enjoy your own private space, the SeaDream staterooms are just the ticket.
Whether you choose the Yacht Club Stateroom or are feeling expansive and want to indulge yourself by occupying a Commodore Club Stateroom (390 sq. feet) or the spectacularly grand Owner’s Suite (490 sq. feet), I guarantee you will feel as though you are in a private villa at sea. Your bar will be stocked just the way you want it.
Your Entertainment Center is ready to go. You can hook up to the Internet and keep in touch and even send SeaDream electronic postcards. Within your stateroom an MP3 Jukebox is available and you can choose from more than 100 digital music selections.
Did I mention the luxurious bed that awaits you with your choice of a duvet or top quality blankets and fine Belgian linens?
Yachting and water sports go together like kids and ice cream. That is why SeaDream has such a wide array of water sports “toys” for you to play with. It’s fun in the sun (or in the shade for that matter).
You’ll want to spend a lot of time on the water sports Marina at the stern of your yacht. Kayaking, water skiing, tubing, wake boarding, snorkeling, sailing, wave running and swimming in secluded bays. Try the folding mountain bikes when you go ashore or perhaps hiking with the crew.
But best of all, if you and your companion want to get a little sun, try the private, double sun beds topside, or an outdoor massage. Or prop a book on your chest and snooze in the shade.
Food and wine are serious subjects and the SeaDream treats them so. The chefs and sommeliers come from the finest restaurants ashore and love to go to sea with you.
They create the finest international cuisines complemented by fine wines and offer them to guests with pride in the indoor Dining Salon or the outdoor Topside Restaurant. There are also dining nooks and crannies up on deck where you can enjoy a romantic, private dinner for two.
Then, there’s 24-hour room service with a simple and healthful menu. But of course, it’s your yacht isn’t it? And if you want to raid the pantry, make yourself a Dagwood sandwich and pour a glass of milk – feel free to do so any time day or night. You are at home you know!
The great outdoors are a source of pleasure but there is also the great indoors to be savored. Feel like indulging yourself in the magnificent Asian Spa? A steam? A sauna? Or do you want to put yourself in another state with a soak in the Thalasso tub filled with warm salt water pumped in from the sea?
Indoors SeaDream also offers a wonderful elegant Library for quiet time and evening excitement in the SeaDream Lounge or in the Piano Bar.
SeaDream offers itineraries to ports with secluded bays and inlets and private white sand beaches – small exotic ports of call. Destinations include the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and trans-Atlantic crossings. Life is sweet isn’t it?
