SeaDream Yacht Club is an innovative yachting company that operates the twin, ultra-luxury mega yachts SeaDream I and SeaDream II. Come aboard a SeaDream Yacht and you will discover just how different it is from big ship cruising.

Award-Winning, Fine Dining
While SeaDream hesitates to use that overworked and undervalued phrase "gourmet dining," they can with assurance declare that the open-seating dining aboard SeaDream I and II is a gourmet experience that has been highly rated in authoritative guides and other publications. On SeaDream, guests are able to dine both indoors and outdoors in high style with a casual ambience.
The Main Dining Salon is an elegant indoor space, large enough to accommodate all guests. The menu is an eclectic combination of classics and unusual international offerings. The Maitre'd seats guests in small or larger groups and, if a couple wishes to focus only on each other at a table for two, that's fine too.
Guests also dine in the dramatic Topside Restaurant, open to the mild sea breezes but shaded from the sun. If a couple wishes to dine privately, there are a number of small alcoves where they may do so.
There is also 24-hour room service that features light, healthful offerings.
Finally, a wide selection of Canapes and Caviar are served in the Main Lounge, and fresh-cut sandwiches may be found at the Top of the Yacht Bar and by the swimming pool.
Balinese Sun Beds
Each of SeaDream yacht features the sensational Balinese Sun Beds. These, highly popular, double sun beds are raised above the sightline of the yacht's railings to provide unobstructed views. Large umbrella's can provide shade when desired. Guests sunbathe, read, look out to sea, or just snooze.
Casino
SeaDream's yachts have great little casinos featuring 2 gaming tables as pictured here and 5 slot machines. This area is located on deck 4 mid ship near the library, piano bar and boutique.
Caviar and Champagne Splash
A favorite among all guests! SeaDream has developed its inimitable Caviar and Champagne Splash. SeaDream uses the word "Splash" advisedly. Aboard SeaDream's yachts, around SeaDream's outdoor swimming pool the staff serves guests Caviar and Champagne. It's fun and splashy. Ashore, on secluded beaches, along with a beach barbecue or picnic, SeaDream offers its Champagne and Caviar Splash right at water's edge. Guests don't know which is louder, the click of camera shutters or the fizz of champagne.
Flexible Schedules and Itineraries
Basically, SeaDream I and II sail on scheduled itineraries. Nevertheless, although SeaDream yachts depart their first port of call and arrive at their last port of call as scheduled, arrivals and departures at intermediate ports are not necessarily, cast in stone. SeaDream's Captains have the authority to adjust for local opportunities. SeaDream's yachts can make unscheduled calls at small ports to visit a local fish market, for example, or remain longer than scheduled in a secluded bay so guests can enjoy a few more hours of water sports.
Golf Simulator
On SeaDream yachts, guests are able to play 50 championship courses on the state-of-the-art Golf Simulator. Additionally, SeaDream has a partnership with the renowned Orlimar Golf Company, creator of the famed Orlimar Golf Clubs and other golfing equipment. Guests who wish to purchase Orlimar Clubs aboard after trying them out with the simulator may do so; the purchase will be drop-shipped directly from the factory. SeaDream's Activities Directors will assist guests in arranging tee times at golf course at ports-of-call.
Library
An elegant library, cozy and quiet, offers a large selection of books ranging from the classics to bestsellers. Magazines, newspapers, board games and computers with internet connections, are also available 24 hours a day.
Main Salon - Theater
SeaDream's Main Salon on deck 3 is where SeaDream welcomes guests during embarkation with champagne and caviar. This facility is also enjoyed by guests for pre dinner cocktails on some evenings, for dancing, for movie presentations as well as to just relax and listen to the pianist.
No Tux for Guys, No Gala Gowns for Gals
The SeaDream yachting experience is a casual affair. There is no formal dress code. When asked about what SeaDream's guests wear during the day or in the evening, they always respond by using the phrase "Resort Casual"--- sportswear for the activity of your choice, easy to wear and comfortable attire for shore-side visits.
Officers and Staff Lead Guests on Personal Off-Ship Experiences
Guests may have the chance to go snorkeling with the Captain in an area he knows well and enjoys. The Activities Director might lead guests on a shore-side hike that he has uncovered on a previous visit. Guests may also want to join SeaDream's Chef for a visit to his favorite patisserie or to a fine fish market where he plans to select some delicacies to put on the menu that evening. There is no cost for these shore-side opportunities.
Overnighting in Key Ports
Unlike Cruise Ships that usually arrive at ports of call in the early morning and depart in the evening of the same day, SeaDream yachts overnight at many ports of call. Here are a few examples: One port in the Caribbean where SeaDream overnights is Gustavia on the French island, St. Barts. When SeaDream sails in the Mediterranean, they frequently overnight at the French Riviera port of St. Tropez. The point is the action does not even get started in ports such as these until late in the evening and SeaDream has found that its guests are active people who do not want to miss anything.
SeaDream Boutique
The Boutique is open when at sea to allow guests to purchase duty free. It offers fine gifts of international name brands, sports and yacht-wear, both with and without SeaDream logos, and necessary personal items guests may have neglected to bring with them.
Water Sports Marina
Each yacht features a large water sports Marina that is lowered from the stern in secluded, clear bays and coves. Guests can enjoy a variety of water sports activities including kayaking, water skiing, tubing, boarding, wave running, snorkeling and sunfish sailing. This of course is offered weather permitting and with Port authorization.
Wellness and Well-Being
Wellness and well-being for both body and mind are high priorities with SeaDream's guests and a concept that SeaDream take very seriously. Onboard you will find SeaDream's Spa and Fitness Center including a highly trained staff. This is another point of differentiation from the usual cruise line concept. The spa is exclusive in that it is listed together with some of the leading spas in the world with the Thai Spa Association. No other passenger ship can make that claim. The fitness Center featuring treadmills, elliptical machines, recumbent bikes, and free weights all with flat screen TVs and DVD players and a personal trainer is available at your request. Tai chi, yoga and aerobics on deck are available as requested by guests. There is also a hair and nail salon. Guests will also find a well-equipped medical facility aboard both our yachts and a licensed, highly trained physician aboard all of the sailings.
Wine Cellar
SeaDream's Sommeliers are masters of their wine cellars at sea that feature many of the world's most classic vintages and an array of little-known, but surprisingly enticing wines. Classic wines are available for purchase. The Sommeliers also pour a selection of fine reds and whites complimentary at luncheon and dinner.
