2009 SCHEDULES AND ITINERARIES


Focus is on Unique and Exclusive Yachting Destinations

In spite of the financial meltdown, a global credit crunch and the U.S. election year, SeaDream Yacht Club continues to sell well with affluent consumers and has published an update of 2009�s Caribbean winter and European summer itineraries for those travelers who are planning ahead.

The itineraries for 2009 as in previous years, will find our small, sleek, 50-couple yachts sailing in the Caribbean in the winter months and European waters in the summer. They will call not only at vibrant port cities (for pre- and post-voyage visits), but at small and exclusive seaside towns and villages where the big passenger ships can�t go. The known and not so known yachting ports are SeaDream's specialty.

In the Caribbean from January through April of 2009, the two SeaDream mega- yachts will sail in the British Virgin Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico�s Virgin Islands, French West Indies, Netherlands Antilles and the Windward and Leeward Islands. Embarkation and debarkation ports include convenient and accessible air gateways---San Juan, St. Thomas, Antigua, St. Maarten and Miami on a westbound transatlantic crossing.

In Europe from May through October 2009, SeaDream I and II will sail in the Mediterranean, the Adriatic Sea, the Aegean Sea, up into Croatia and even down to Tunisia. Embarkation ports include Barcelona, Seville, Tenerife, Lisbon, Nice, Monte Carlo, Rome, Venice, Athens and Dubrovnik.

SeaDream will also call on the ports of Miami, Palm Beach and Key West in 2009.

New ports in 2009 for SeaDream�s Caribbean sailings are: Dewey, Culebra (Puerto Rico�s Virgin Islands); Honeymoon Beach and Water Island (U.S. Virgin Islands); Cooper Island (British Virgin Islands); Coconut Grove, Nevis, Samana (Dominican Republic) and Deshaies (Guadeloupe). Many Caribbean port calls include �overnights� as at chic St. Barts where SeaDream guests can enjoy the lively restaurant and nightlife scene.

SeaDream is also offering more active land options in the Caribbean. Examples are bone fishing off Anegada, rainforest hikes on Nevis, in addition to kayaking, biking, deep water fishing, small catamaran racing, beach horseback riding, golf (at Anguilla�s new upscale golf course) and swimming in a bioluminescent bay in Puerto Rico�s Virgin Islands. .

The European schedule includes more calls at what has been termed the �new� Mykonos---Naousa village on the Greek island of Paros. There�s also the possibility of combining the Greek Islands with the Croatian coast on voyages between Venice and Athens.

All details from January through December 2009 for SeaDream�s award-winning mega yacht cruisers SeaDream I and II may be found on its website---www.seadream.com.

Pimentel added: �Yes, the worldwide economy is sobering for all. Yet, intelligent marketers of all kinds of luxury travel products should not give way to panic but rather offer highly measurable value to those consumers who refuse to hit the panic button.�
