NUMBER ONE IN SERVICE AGAIN -- TRAVEL + LEISURE 2006 WORLD'S BEST READER'S SURVEY


Highly Acclaimed SeaDream Yacht Club has scored a big one in yet another authoritative travel industry poll.

Travel + Leisure Magazine�s 2006 World�s Best Award Readers Survey, just released in the publication�s June issue, rated SeaDream higher than any other passenger shipping company for that all important Wow Factor---Service!

This is not the first time SeaDream has hit the top for Service in Travel + Leisure. For the last two years SeaDream topped all others for Service as well. SeaDream was also rated among the top 10 small cruise lines in this new Travel + Leisure World�s Best Awards. And in March this year it was listed by the magazine as one of the World�s Top 100 Travel Experiences.

The Travel + Leisure World�s Best Readers Survey not only rates cruise lines, but also cities, islands, hotels, airlines, tour companies, spas and car rental agencies.

Travel + Leisure Editor-in-Chief Nancy Novogrod called the Awards Ratings �a powerful gauge of the interests and tastes of sophisticated travelers.�

SeaDream�s President & CEO Larry Pimentel, justifiably proud, said �I�m always delighted when we receive such accolades, but I want to add that there are some truly fine travel choices at this luxury end of the spectrum. The fact is, all of the passenger shipping operations included in Travel + Leisure�s World�s Best Awards are extremely good.

�Happily, what I can always say with confidence is that SeaDream is not only an extremely fine leisure travel choice on a good-better-best scale, but it is unique.

SeaDream is simply a different product--- I put the emphasis on the word different---in what is frequently acknowledged by travel industry observers as a sea of sameness,� he stated.
