SeaDream Yacht Club’s SeaDream I & II, recently rated as two of the top five vessels in the world by Berlitz Guide to Cruising & Cruise Ships, has introduced its 2012 winter and spring itineraries. The two ultra-deluxe, mega yachts will spend the late fall season of 2011 and early 2012 sailing the Caribbean with an emphasis on visiting the smaller yachting playgrounds and harbors that large ships cannot reach. In addition, SeaDream II will be adding two, twenty day voyages to the Amazon in February 2012.
SeaDream’s President, Bob Lepisto said, “The British Virgin Islands, such as Norman Island, Jost van Dyke and Virgin Gorda are true yachting destinations and continue to be a SeaDream favorite. However, we are excited to be adding the Amazon to our itinerary.”
“Whether travelers are looking for adventure and exploration in the Amazon or simply seeking a pampering, tropical Caribbean holiday, SeaDream’s intimate size and award-winning service are unmatched at sea. Lepisto added, In fact, it’s our size and maneuverability that allows our yachts to reach unique spots like Anavilhanas, Brazil and Iquitos, Peru.”
