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 travelers 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.

Some of the itineraries can be combined into back-to-back cruises (longer, discount priced voyages). While departure and call port times are generally pre-set, ship's Captain can modify yacht's cruise schedule and adjust those times (even seaports) along the route. While most Caribbean-based cruise vessels 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 nightlife. Many cruise itineraries additionally feature scheduled overnight stays in ports.

Yacht'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.
