| SeaDream I, the sister ship of SeaDream II, is one of SeaDream Yacht Club's two beautiful ships. This vessel was originally a part of the Seabourn Cruise Line fleet, then named Seabourn Goddess I. Back in 2001 Seabourn sold her, along with her sister ship, to SeaDream. In 2002 she was redesigned, rebuilt and renamed for SeaDream. This yacht is an excellent option in the small ship luxury cruising market. She features upscale accommodations that all have ocean views, along with top-notch service and gourmet cuisine. Included in the cruise fare are select wines (during lunch and dinner), an open bar of premium brand liquors, the use of water toys, gratuities and more. These included features greatly add to the value SeaDream provides, when compared to their competition. Because of her smaller size she's able to visit ports of call that larger ships cannot reach, allowing for unique and interesting itineraries. If you're looking for a luxurious cruise and don't care about the "wow factor" features that some mainstream lines have (such as rock-climbing walls, ice skating rinks and multi-level show rooms), a cruise onboard SeaDream I might be perfect for you. A signature SeaDream event is their Champagne & Splash™ event. This involves flowing champagne toasts and caviar served shore side, along with an elegant beach barbeque (served on china). |
