SEADREAM II TO SAIL TWO 20-DAY AMAZON ADVENTURES IN 2012

SEADREAM Yacht Club is to sail two spectacular near-three week adventures on the Amazon River in 2012 with its 112-guest, 5-star mega motor-cruiser SeaDream II.

Departing Bridgetown, Barbados on February 13 2012, SeaDream II will sail 20-days to Manaus and Iquitos, and 20-days back to Barbados via Manaus, with prices starting from US$12,919pp twin-share inclusive of all onboard 5-star dining, drinks from the open bars, nightly cocktail gatherings, wines with lunch and dinner, power and sail watersports (in ports where permitted,) a 50-course golf simulator, onboard gratuities and port charges.

SeaDream’s President, Bob Lepisto said: “We’re enormously excited to be adding the Amazon to our itinerary in 2012, particularly as our size and maneuverability will allow our yacht to reach tricky spots like Anavilhanas in Brazil and Iquitos in Peru.”

An onboard naturalist will give in-depth talks about the great wilderness, and optional excursions and canoe expeditions will showcase Amazonian tribes, museums, markets and the jungle’s exotic animal and plant-life.

SeaDream II and twin-sister SeaDream I were recently rated two of the world’s top passenger vessels by Berlitz Guide to Cruising & Cruise Ships.

“The expression ‘Yachting’ is not a sentiment about size; it is a statement about lifestyle aboard our small vessels,” Mr Lepisto said. “SeaDream’s 56-stateroom mega motor-cruisers offer elegant informality with no need for jackets or ties at dinner, a crew of 95, open bars, wines with lunch and dinner, evening cocktail gatherings, gratuities, all-ocean-view accommodations, and world class dining.”
