Q: Where is your favorite place to travel in the Caribbean—and why?
Ana Maria: I love the Caribbean overall, but I especially love Barbados. It has a lot to offer, from beaches that will capture you with their beauty and where you can snorkel to your heart’s content to the most incredible botanical garden where you can listen to classical music while enjoying all of nature’s wonder. Barbados even boasts a Victorian train ride where you may experience a journey through tropical plantation fields—a magical experience.
Q: Where is your favorite place to travel in the Mediterranean—and why?
Ana Maria: When SeaDream yachts the Mediterranean, I feel like I am truly home, so it is difficult to select just one place. SeaDream offers the experience of sailing every week to different corners of Europe and along sheltered Mediterranean coastlines, like the Greek Isles. I take pleasure in getting to know distinct places more intimately, each full of history, and of course trying all different types of traditional dishes, a feast for the senses.
Q: What does “It’s Yachting, Not Cruising®” mean to you?
Ana Maria: Having sailed on bigger ships before, I know very well what makes SeaDream different. Simply put, it is our attention to every detail of the guest experience. It is the dedication of each crew member who ensures that each and every one of our lovely guests have an unforgettable experience and remember us with smiles on their faces and fondness in their hearts.
Q: What is it that you love most about SeaDream?
Ana Maria: SeaDream is all about intimate experiences and how we express ourselves both individually and as a team. We work hard together and have fun. We are a family, and we always go the extra mile to help each other learn, grow, and thrive.
