History - construction and ownership

The 4,333-ton, 112-passenger cruise ship SeaDream II is indistinguishable from her sister ship, SeaDream I, and has the charm of a private club. She was designed for independent, experienced travellers who dislike large ships with kids running around, and all the dressing up – ties are useless here. Inside SeaDream II, there is a feeling of discreet sophistication. The public rooms are elegant and chic, with potpourri and flowers everywhere. 

Cruise itinerary program

SeaDream 2 itinerary program is based on Mediterranean cruises from Rome, Venice, Barcelona, Athens/Piraeus and Dubrovnik, as well as Caribbean voyages from San Juan and Charlotte Amalie.

SeaDream II cruise ship is the line's second of all 2 top luxury all-inclusive cruise yachts. Her sister in the fleet is the yacht Sea Dream 1. The ship was built in 1985 and chartered as "Sea Goddess II" (to "Sea Goddess Cruises", between 1984 and 1998), as "Seabourn Goddess II" (to Cunard and Seabourn, between 1999 and 2001) and operated under its current name by the yacht's owner since 2001.

The Sea Dream line's SeaDream 2 yacht cruises in Mediterranean (visiting islands and ports in Italy, Greece, Turkey, France / French Riviera, Spain, also Black Sea) and in the Caribbean (during winter). Transatlantic luxury cruise deals are offered seasonally on the yacht's Atlantic Ocean crossings.

Some of the ship's itineraries can be combined into back-to-back cruise deals (longer, discount priced voyages). Another feature on the top luxury yacht SeaDream II is that, while generally departures and ports of call times are preset, the ship's Captain can modify the cruise schedule and adjust those times (even call ports) along the sailing route - if that would please his guests. Also, while most Caribbean cruise ships depart from ports of call in late afternoon, SeaDream 2 is often departing in late evening - just to give its affluent guests the chance to enjoy the local restaurants or the nightlife. Many cruise itineraries additionally feature scheduled overnight stays in call ports.

The SeaDream 2's passenger capacity is only 112 guests, making it perfect for cruise ship charters, that usually serve corporate business meetings, "rich family" reunions, celebrities' anniversaries at sea, etc. On such deals, the cruise itinerary route for the yacht's charter is determined by the booking party.
