DESTINATION IMMERSING VOYAGES
MIAMI, July 31, 2014 – SeaDream Yacht Club, delivering a “yachting, not cruising” experience, announces 2015 Mediterranean sailings exploring smaller ports and harbors.

New voyages immerse guests in the cultures of Croatia, Greece and Italy calling on up to nine ports in a single country for select sailings and often including overnights. Both yachts arrive in the Mediterranean in May. “The yachting lifestyle is synonymous with summer in the Med and SeaDream Yacht Club is delighted to have both of our award-winning vessels offering itineraries in the region like no other,” shares Bob Lepisto, president of SeaDream Yacht Club. “On a single voyage, visiting eight ports in Croatia, nine in Greece or an astounding five in Sicily alone is possible. This mega-yacht experience paired with inclusive watersports from our yachts’ marina and highly-anticipatory service makes the adventure even more rewarding.” SeaDream Yacht Club’s 2015 Mediterranean season begins in May and features 40+ itineraries spanning the region.
