Name: Andrija
From: Belgrade, Serbia
Position: Bartender, SeaDream I
About: Originally from Belgrade, Serbia, Nemanja joined SeaDream in 2025. Many don’t know that Nemanja enjoys listening to music, painting, and playing with his cats almost as much as he loves sailing the sea. He recently completed his hotel and hospitality education and is looking forward to traveling the world. His favorite part of yachting with SeaDream Yacht Club is experiencing the secluded islands of the Caribbean and Mediterranean and working with his fellow crew, whom he affectionately refers to as his SeaDream family.
Q: Where is your favorite place to travel the Caribbean—and why?
Andrija: My favorite place in the Caribbean is St. Barths. It has a distinct European feel, but with the charm and beach vibe of the Caribbean. There are so many great shops and restaurants that I could easily spend all my time here. And the little-known hiking trails and hidden beaches and coves help it retain its luxury-meets-natural-beauty feel. I’m not at all surprised that it’s a guest-favorite—our guests love that SeaDream overnights here on so many of our British Virgin Islands and French West Indies itineraries, so that they can explore by day and by night.

Q: Where is your favorite place to travel the Mediterranean—and why?
Andrija: So far, I would have to say I really loved spending time exploring the charming town of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, nestled in Spain’s Canary Islands on the island of Tenerife. SeaDream calls on this port on our Transatlantic Voyages, where guests can spend a full day exploring. The town itself combines a vibrant cultural scene with access to the island's natural beauty, including its beautiful beaches and iconic Auditorio de Tenerife. I am really looking forward to seeing more of Spain and the Spanish Riviera.

Q: What does “It’s Yachting, Not Cruising®” mean to you?
Andrija: Most definitely the small size of our yachts compared to the big cruise ships that are out there. Because we are such a small vessel, we are able to sail to places other massive cruise ships cannot, allowing our guests to truly explore off the beaten path. That small size also translates to a personalized, intimate onboard experience. I can pamper each guest and truly get to know them during our time together.
Q: What is it that you love most about SeaDream?
Andrija: The crew is like family, but there is definitely a family feeling between the crew and our guests that’s hard to explain unless you have sailed with SeaDream before. I love making a very special drink for a guest that they say is “perfect” because I prepared it with care and their unique preferences in mind. It might sound silly, but an extra slice of lime or a special note of an added aperitif makes a world of difference between the ordinary and the extraordinary. With one crew member for every guest, our bartenders and waitstaff can seamlessly accommodate special requests and focus on small details that make a world of difference.
