SeaDream Yacht Club Cruises 2021

SeaDream Yacht Club Cruises are known for its personalized, award-winning service, 5-star cuisine, intimate ports, and exceptional onboard features such as the Balinese Dream Beds to sleep under the stars and the Watersports Marina complete with water toys for the perfect yachting vacation.

SeaDream Yacht Club Cruises resumed sailing safely, without sacrificing luxury. As the first luxury cruise line to resume sailing, SeaDream was able to successfully implement a comprehensive COVID-19 prevention plan that resulted in zero positive cases during the entire Norwegian summer season. SeaDream has since improved its procedures further, with three Abbott ID Now testing machines that will test guests prior to departure with rapid results. The goal is to create a COVID-19 negative bubble, where guests can relax and enjoy the safety of the ship.  

As they prepare to visit Barbados this winter season, SeaDream is taking the same measures a step further, strengthening existing protocols to protect crew, guests and the communities visited. These cruises will be round trip from Barbados and visit Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. “Sailing during these times undoubtedly presents some new challenges. But as the first luxury line to begin sailing again, we have learned many lessons and are confident we can provide a safe environment without sacrificing luxury,“ said SeaDream’s Andreas Brynestad. “We are thrilled to offer our guests a much-needed escape and the dream vacation they deserve onboard SeaDream.” 

The Barbados winter season cruise ports include: 

Bridgetown, Barbados – This Island includes UNESCO Heritage Sites, excellent beaches and history dating back to 1628. The climate is tropical with constant warm temperatures during the year cooled by light trade winds.  

Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines – Of the 32 islands in this chain called the Grenadines, only eight are populated. St Vincent is the largest and it’s a perfect setting for idyllic yachting and sailing. The capital of Kingstown in St. Vincent is known as the site for many of the scenes from the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean”. 

Port Elizabeth, Bequia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines– Bequia is the northernmost and largest of the Grenadines, just seven square miles of quiet lagoons, reefs, and long silvery stretches of beach. Among the first things you will notice are the colorful model boats set up on stands around the tiny harbor, representing the island’s maritime history.  

Canouan Island, St. Vincent and the Grenadines – Canouan is a small island in the Grenadines Islands belonging to St Vincent. It measures 3.5 miles (5.6 km) by 1.25 miles (2 km). The estimated population is approximately 1,200. The island is unspoiled with uncontaminated nature, endowed with an enormously varied landscape of green hills, secluded bays and long white sand beaches. Almost every corner of Canouan reveals the natural gifts of the island and incredible landscapes.  

Mayreau, St. Vincent and the Grenadines – This is one of SeaDream signature Champagne and Caviar Splash destinations in the Grenadines. This particular island is the smallest of the inhabited Islands and has two amazing beaches.  

Tobago Cays, St. Vincent and the Grenadines – Imagine an intimate cluster of five uninhabited islands, heavenly lagoons full of green turtles, coral reefs, colourful fish and crystal-clear waters. This is the setting when SeaDream anchors off the Tobago Keys. Zodiacs will whisk guests from the marina to the beautiful beach. This is an idyllic yachting anchorage, a dream for scuba divers, a paradise for beachcombers, and a film location for the Pirates of the Caribbean, the Tobago Cays and the Tobago Cays Marine Park is one of the world’s most awe inspiring island destinations. 

Union Island, St. Vincent and the Grenadines – Union Island, the southernmost island of the Grenadines, is nicknamed the ‘Tahiti of the West Indies’ due to its volcanic silhouette. Among the many restaurants and bars, Happy Island, a man-made island featuring a bar, sits in the middle of Clifton harbor and is a must-see. Mount Taboi, which at 999 feet above sea level, is the highest peak on Union Island. A key feature of the Union Island region is the Tobago Cays National Marine Park. The Tobago Cays are a group of small uninhabited islands surrounded by reefs, where snorkeling, scuba diving and swimming with sea turtles are all favorite pastimes. 

St. George’s, Grenada – SeaDream guests will be able to delight in the delicious flavors of Grenada’s capital. This destination is becoming more popular due to the moderate tropical climate that ensures the success of spice production. Nutmegs are the most plentiful crop, followed by an array of such spices as cocoa, mace, cloves, vanilla, cinnamon and ginger. 

With a small ship size, ultra-personalized service, emphasis on cleanliness, and access to more intimate, less-traveled ports, SeaDream has always been in a position to offer a safe and healthy experience.

Here are some of the things SeaDream is doing to ensure safe sailing:

• Embarkation will be staggered with different time slots from noon to 6pm.
• An onboard doctor will greet guests and take a sample test using the Abbott ID Now machine, giving negative results within 15 minutes.
• A Thermal Scanner will record temperatures daily. This scanner will also be used for re-entering the Yacht after shoreside visits.
• Special floor mats are at the entryway to clean and sanitize shoes.
• All staterooms will be pre-sanitized using Altapure AP-4 which is an advanced ultrasonic fogger used for high-level disinfection in hospitals, burn units and clean rooms.
• The onboard hospital is well stocked with necessary medications and PPE. The Yachts have experienced doctors onboard.
• UV lamps will be used to sanitize staterooms daily.
• Crew members will undergo frequent health checks.
• All crew members are certified for the WHO’s Infection Prevention and Control for novel coronavirus course and Covid-19 Contact tracing course from John Hopkins University.
• Crew members will serve and carefully place buffet selections on your plate as you request.
• Onshore excursions will be limited to predesignated places.

What SeaDream Guests can do:

• As you sail, please be patient, cooperate, and be flexible in adapting to changing circumstances.
• Take a Covid RT-PCR test 48-72 hours prior to your flight. Another test will be done at the port upon arrival.
• Wash your hands frequently and maintain good hygiene. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer and anti-bacterial soap will be provided by SeaDream.
• Social distance from other guests whenever possible. The spacious SeaDream Yachts offer plenty of open spaces and opportunities to relax while practicing social distancing.

SeaDream Assurance:

For all new bookings only made after July 22, 2020, on voyages that sail prior to June 30, 2021 guests have an option. If the sailing is affected by travel restrictions due to Covid-19, SeaDream will issue a full cash refund or 120% of the amount credited towards a future voyage. This is by far the best refund guarantee – from a company that has already been fully operational this summer. 

If there are no travel restrictions and you just prefer not to travel, your funds will be moved to a future date. The decision does not have to be made until the day of departure.
