Q: Where is your favorite place to travel in the Caribbean—and why?
Maricar: That’s a toss-up between Jost Van Dyke and St. Barths, both of which are incredible destinations. St. Barths is one of the most world's most exclusive travel destinations in there is so much to see and do— explore and lounge on pristine beaches, play in crystal clear turquoise waters, or simply unwind under the swaying palm trees. Having had a pleasure of visiting this exquisite destination multiple times, St. Barths never ceases to amaze me with its endless possibilities for relaxation. Along with the laid-back island culture of Jost van Dyke, these islands both hold a special place in my heart.
Q: Where is your favorite place to travel in the Mediterranean—and why?
Maricar: Santorini, Greece, is my is one of my favorite places in the Mediterranean, right along with Dubrovnik, Croatia. My personal experiences on Santorini have been nothing short of memorable. The sunsets over the Aegean Sea, the unique architecture, the friendly locals, and the delicious Mediterranean cuisine all contribute to the magical allure of this island. When coupled with breathtaking views of the caldera there is a sense of serenity on this island that is unmatched. Santorini never fails to captivate me with its charm.
Q: What does “It’s Yachting, Not Cruising®” mean to you?
Maricar: Yachting offers a more intimate and personalized experience that emphasize more relaxation and lots of watersports. To me, it stands in contrast with cruising, which offers caters to a large number of guests and is more for the masses. Yachting provides comfort and is all about expecting the unexpected.
Q: What is it that you love most about SeaDream?
Maricar: I love a lot about SeaDream, but it always comes back to the people I meet from all parts of the world. I get to experience a taste of their culture, and I am truly grateful for this once-in-a lifetime opportunity. With SeaDream, I'm not just part of a crew. We are a family with a harmony of different cultural diversity, and we get to share that with one another. I love that I have the freedom to create memories of a lifetime, not just with my onboard family, but with (and for) our guests as well.
