Our "Love Affair Afloat" Built on Seadreams
Australians now outshine some of the biggest countries in Europe in booking holidays aboard the world’s most highly-awarded boutique cruise ships, the 5-star SeaDream I and SeaDream II in the Mediterranean and Caribbean , and make up nearly ten per cent of passengers aboard these two mega motor-cruisers whose just-110 guests are indulged by 95 crew.
“When we began marketing in Australia in 2003 less than one per cent of our business came from Down Under, whereas today passenger numbers from Australia are growing at an annual 97%,†said President and CEO of SeaDream Yacht Club, Larry Pimentel. “Its quite remarkable given your population size.â€
“We believe your casual lifestyle matches perfectly our ‘yachting not cruising’ philosophy that has no need for suits, ties, or ball gowns, but rather country club smart casual… and obviously the Australian and SeaDream lifestyles are so complementary of each other they make for a perfect love affair afloat.â€
Mr Pimentel said SeaDream’s all-inclusive pricing policy was another winner with Australians, with all drinks from the bars, wines with lunch and dinner, nightly cocktail parties, a 50-course golf simulator, all power and sail water-sports and onboard gratuities included in the price. “And our optional-cost spa is the world’s only at-sea member of the Thai Spa Association.â€
SeaDream I and II sail in the Mediterranean in the northern summer and the Caribbean from November to April. For full details, including the possibility of booking a whole deck of sixteen to twenty-two staterooms for a family or friends holiday-of-a-lifetime.
