Philipsburg, Sint Maarten, Dutch Caribbean
2 PM - 4 PM
(Embarkation)
Evening
Philipsburg is the main town on the Dutch side of St. Maarten. The town is situated on a narrow stretch of land between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond. Philipsburg was founded in 1763 by John Philips, a Scottish captain in the Dutch navy. The settlement soon became a center for international trade. The main shopping district is located on Front Street and is in the heart of the city. Many consider Philipsburg to be the best shopping opportunity in the Caribbean. Depending on the traffic, SeaDream has the option to anchor or dock alongside. One of the highlight activities may be to participate in the America’s Cup 12 Metre Regatta.
Unveil the Caribbean’s hidden treasure, a small island discovered in the 1700s named Sint Eustatius. Originally a trading hub for sugar and cotton, the island has now become a must-see landscape. This castaway-like frontier hosts a range of natural jewels including dazzling reefs, brimming marine life, and historical wrecks of the island’s capital, Oranjestad, which is now mostly submerged.
Nevis is one of our favorite islands, and we encourage you to explore Nevis beyond the small town to make the most of your visit! We offer several excellent and varied options for you to do so and still leave you with plenty of time on your own for the beach. Less commercial and laidback than its large neighbor St. Kitts, Nevis, at first glimpse, offers a stunning approach with dramatic views of the potentially active volcanic Nevis Peak (3,232 feet/985 meters). Your SeaDream tender will bring you within a few steps of the small town center. Charlestown does not offer too many sightseeing or shopping opportunities though the house where American statesman Alexander Hamilton was born is only a short walk away along the waterfront (now the Museum of Nevis History). To enjoy Nevis to its full potential, we recommend that you divide your day into Morning, Lunch/Afternoon and Evening activities.
Morning - Start your day by exploring the island, above or under water, on one of our fun optional Land Adventures. They are all enjoyable & exciting, and you will also support the local community. The Four Seasons Resort still offers incredible golf options as well as beautiful beach and dining facilities. Another option for lunch is the L'Escale French Caribbean-style bistro, just down the road near the Oualie Pier.
Evening - For a romantic sunset with cocktails and a snack or dinner, we like to take the short drive to see Gillian, the owner of the charming Bananas Restaurant, which offers lovely views surrounded by lush tropical gardens. Of course, there is also Sunshine's Beach Bar & Grill, home of the famous "Killer Bee" Caribbean rum drink. We hope that the above recommendations allow you to plan your special day on Nevis. Now, all you have to do is to decide which of the optional morning activities to join.
South Friar's Bay offers SeaDream guests a new way to explore the island of St. Kitts. Rather than docking at the capital, the yacht will be anchored in the bay. This particular bay is one of the two bays stretching along the coast of the isthmus connecting the Southeast Peninsula, with the rest of the island of Saint Kitts. From swimming and snorkeling on the south side to body surfing on the north, Friar's Bay offers guests several options. Many locals consider the southern beach the best on the island. If you are thirsty, no worries as there are multiple beach bars, offering various food and beverage options. The island itself offers several land adventure options including the Unesco Awarded Brimstone Fortress, Zip Lines, off road adventures and golf at the Royal St. Kitts.
Falmouth Bay is a short walk from Nelson's Dockyard and the English Harbour. Historic buildings and mills surround it. This harbor and the quiet village has plenty of shops, restaurants and the yacht club. Historic sites, tasty cuisine and a lively cultural scene can all be found on Antigua. But most often it's the beauty and versatility of the island's 365 beaches that draw travelers from afar. Land Adventure possibilities include a helicopter ride over Montserrat, a jeep and snorkel safari and a St. John’s City and shopping exploration.
This British Overseas Territory is becoming more popular due to the incredible resort options as well as world recognized beaches and amazing golf. SeaDream offers an opportunity to tee off, snorkel, or, for the energetic, bike around the island with the Club Director. Naturally, we will also offer water sports while we are anchored off Sandy Ground.
Perhaps our most treasured destination in the Caribbean! This small island belonging to the French West Indies has so much to offer our SeaDream guests. Incredible shopping only steps away from the pier. Incredible beaches, resorts, restaurants and activities both day and night. SeaDream has created various land adventures for you to discover the island from sea or land. Ask one of the officers to take you on a hike or bike ride around the island. Another great activity here is to simply relax and watch all of the incredible yachts arriving and departing just off your SeaDream yacht.

Nearly every publication written about Virgin Gorda will emphasize the need to visit “The Baths” – don’t miss it! SeaDream generally arrives early and anchors off Spanish Town to give guests an early start to view The Baths before all of the tourists arrive from the neighboring Islands. You may also consider excellent scuba diving options or an opportunity to swim with the dolphins. SeaDream navigates scenically up the coast and arrives in North Sound to anchor just off the Bitter End Yacht Club. Here we offer watersports, land adventures, hiking options with the crew and tenders to the Bitter End! Depending on the voyage, you may also visit Prickly Pear Island for another signature Champagne & Caviar Splash® option with an incredible setting.
Enjoy the welcoming Caribbean breeze and the famous Baths located nearby. Other attractions include the Coppermine Ruins and Gorda Peak National Park. Of course, snorkeling is popular as are the sandy white beaches.
The BVI’s barefoot island and home of the "Painkiller" drink. Population depends on the month – typically 250-300. This is another SeaDream destination where you may be served Champagne & Caviar Splash® followed by a beach barbecue lunch. A hike is always offered to guests to visit the famous Foxy’s Bar at Great Harbour (hopefully, the boutique is open) or you can stroll a few meters down the beach to the Soggy Dollar Bar. Snorkeling equipment is provided as well as some of our water toys!
Marigot is the main town and capital on the French side of Saint Martin. The city of Marigot is perhaps the most French in spirit of all the cities in the Caribbean. Colonial houses stand beside cafés and bistros, pastry shops and luxury boutiques, and in many ways, it looks just like any of the French market towns you might expect to find in Europe. At the southern end of town by the harbor is Marina Port la Royale. This area includes elegant stores with the latest in European designer fashion and fine jewelry, all duty and tax-free. The entire city is only four streets wide, so it is very easy to get around. Marigot was named the capital during the reign of King Louis XVI, who built Fort St. Louis on a hill near Marigot Bay. Today, that building is the most important in the city. SeaDream anchors off Marigot and offers several yachting land adventures as well as the possibility to play with the toys at the marina.

Join our local guide on an unforgettable hiking adventure to the rim of the Quill, a perfectly symmetrical dormant volcano rising 2,000 feet (600 meters) above sea level. This thrilling excursion takes you through the tropical island's unique natural history, where you will discover distinctive ecosystems and habitats teeming with rare and exotic life.
Your journey begins at the pier, where you will meet your guide and take transportation to Rosemary Lane, the starting point of the hike. As you ascend, keep an eye out for the Statia Morning Glory, an extremely rare and beautiful herbaceous vine found nowhere else in the world, and the majestic kapok tree, with its impressive network of roots and towering trunk.
At the top of the Quill Crater, take in the breathtaking views and do not forget your camera to capture the moment. Your guide will lead you around the crater's rim and then down into the volcano's mysterious interior, where a completely overgrown tropical rainforest awaits. Marvel at the giant elephant ear plants, delicate tree ferns, and vibrant begonias, and spot exotic species like bromeliads, trumpet wood, and edible blackberries.
Pause to refresh and recharge during the hike and then return to the SeaDream yacht with unforgettable stories of the beautiful Quill Volcano of Statia.
Notes
Please remember to bring your SeaDream Walking sticks and wear hiking boots or sturdy walking shoes, as this is a strenuous hike that requires a moderate level of physical fitness. This hike does not go down to the bottom of the crater; however, it does hike along the rim and inside top area.

This 18-hole Robert Trent Jones II signature golf course is woven into the landscape of the island, winding over 6,766 yards (6,187 metres) from the slopes of Nevis Peak down to the edge of the Caribbean Sea. Boasting four tee locations at each hole (and one black tee), this par 71 course offers breathtaking scenery on every green and fairway – not to mention the friendly faces of the local Green Vervet monkeys.
The garden-type course will have you enjoying its 360 degrees of views together with an intriguing test of golf – far more than meets the eye. It fulfills the definition of excellent resort golf – playable, beautiful, well-maintained, and interesting for all and is one of the premier designs in this part of the world.

The Royal St. Kitts Golf Club offers the very best for the beginner to the professional player.

Enjoy a leisurely cruise as you proceed along the Leeward Coast of St Kitts, passing the Frigate Bay resort area and Friars Bay before arriving at Shittens Bay, the snorkeling destination.
After boarding a custom designed, "MAXI-CAT,” there will be a brief orientation to familiarize you with the safety procedures on the boat and an introduction to the crew. Then the leisurely cruise begins.
Only such an excellent snorkeling site as the secluded cove of Shitten Bay could justify bringing this relaxing and invigorating sail to a stop. This calm, unspoiled location is only accessible by sea and shelters an abundance of marine life, with several varieties of reef fish amongst the volcanic rock formations, sea fans and sponges, Special supervision is given to those who have never snorkeled before or those who are out of practice with the technique of snorkeling.
After the snorkeling adventure, enjoy an open bar serving ice-cold beer, rum punch and soft drinks while the sails are hoisted for the final tranquil trip back to the yacht.

This SeaDream Land Adventure offers the must-see highlights and the soul of St. Kitts.
Departing from the tender pier by bus, you'll enjoy a scenic drive through the mountainous area of Frigate Bay and make your way into Basseterre, the capital city. As you drive through the bustling town, sit back and view sights such as the Berkeley Memorial, Independence Square and the impressive Roman Catholic Cathedral.
Make your way next to Fairview Great House and Botanical Gardens, where you will learn more about the restored West Indian plantation home built in 1701 and the island's complex history. You will then be given the opportunity to sample three flavors of Caribbean rum and afterwards enjoy the Fairview Great House signature cocktail – a lemongrass mojito.
Next you drive to Romney Manor’s gardens, you will see (from the outside) a piece of 17th-century history, where Thomas Jefferson's great grandfather Samuel was the original owner. The lacy wooden architecture and tropical gardens are a feast for the eyes. You may even be fortunate enough to see hummingbirds and green vervet monkeys. Afterwards, visit Caribelle Batik. Here you see how locals create each one-of-a-kind article of clothing and decorative masterpiece.
Complete your Adventure with a visit to Brimstone Hill Fortress. This UNESCO World Heritage Site the Gibraltar of the West Indies. This magnificent fortress sits impressively atop 38 acres of limestone and sulfur composites, with spectacular views over the St. Kitts mountain range, sugar cane fields, Caribbean Sea and neighboring islands. Designed by the British and built by slaves, the Fortress is testimony to European colonial expansion, the African slave trade and the emergence of new societies in the Caribbean.
The last stop of the adventure is at Timothy Hill to take in breathtaking 360-degree views of both the Atlantic and Caribbean sides of the island before returning to your SeaDream yacht.

You will be met at the tender landing site by your tour guide and driven to the helicopter pad at Fort James in St John’s. After your orientation and safety briefing, here you will board your awaiting private helicopter for a fully narrated and truly memorable and unique Montserrat Volcano tour.
On this 45-minute, pilot-narrated flight, you will fly to Montserrat to tour its "Exclusion Zone," an area covering 80 sq. kms made off-limits to both ground transportation and habitation. This makes the helicopter the only way to get an up-close look at the Soufriere Hills Volcano.
The volcano rises to 3,000 feet above sea level and frequently emits a combination of ash, smoke, and steam. Survey the massive Tar River Gorge and Delta found 1,000 feet below, which has formed as a result of pyroclastic flows.
You will witness what is left of small villages devastated by past eruptions before touring the charred remains of Plymouth, the country’s former capital, now uninhabited and in some places buried under 40 feet of ash.
On the seaside, observe the former location of the W.H. Bramble Airport - abandoned after the 1997 eruptions. Portions of this airport, including the runway were still visible until the partial dome collapse on 11 February 2010, which buried what was left.
This SeaDream Yachting Land Adventure (YLA) is operated using Airbus EC130 helicopters, and the spacious cabins can comfortably accommodate the pilot and up to 6 passengers.

Discover Shoal Bay Beach, one of the top beaches in the world, on this Yachting Land Adventure that includes your transfers with a reserved beach lounge chair and shared umbrella. Upon arrival a cool cocktail welcomes you at this stunning place.
This beach can compete with any beach in the world and also has a great reef for snorkeling. Shoal Bay is the most popular beach in Anguilla and attracts locals, tourists, and day trippers from the neighboring island of St. Martin for a good reason.
You will be transferred to Shoal Bay Beach and greeted with a cocktail upon your arrival. Here you will have a reserved beach lounge chair and shared umbrella waiting for you. Your time here is on your own schedule. You can relax and enjoy the view of the two-mile sandy beach, swim, snorkel or take a stroll in the fine sand from one end to the other.

Board a private speed boat and set off to your first snorkel spot at Little Bay, the tiniest beach on Anguilla and one of the most beautiful locations to snorkel. It is also one of the most private beaches on Anguilla, since the only way to get there is by foot or by water. Since it is protected by high cliffs on three sides there is hardly any surf, making it a perfect snorkel stop. Snorkeling in these crystal-clear warm waters will be a rewarding experience with plenty of colorful fish, squids and shells. In general, Anguilla is well known for its snorkeling and has an abundance of fish; you can find the feisty little black-barred Sergeant Major and plenty of colorful Wrasses, Snappers and Grunts. Then on to the second snorkel stop, which is at Shoal Bay, where you will find a reef abundant with coral and sea fans, along with Parrot Fish, Blue Tang and even Trunk Fish, the ones that look like little triangular boxes. After this, the third stop will be Sandy Island also well known for its excellent snorkeling. After this last snorkel experience, you will board the speed boat to return to the pier in Road Bay while enjoying a well-deserved rum punch.
Notes
Guests must be able to swim and feel comfortable with snorkeling equipment. In addition, the boat captain will use his discretion when selecting the stops and snorkeling locations based upon the current weather and sea conditions for the best guest experience.

This is the "Must-see & Do" Yachting Land Adventure on Virgin Gorda, if not in the entire British Virgin Islands. Open-air safari wagons will take you and your fellow SeaDreamers on a short twenty-minute ride through the village of Spanish Town to discover The Baths, an intriguing group of sea caves and unusual rock formations, spectacularly set on an amazing beach. From the parking area follow the winding footpath down to the beach to explore this geological wonder. Wade knee deep through the sea caves formed by mammoth boulders and bask in the shafts of sunlight pouring through the natural ceiling into the pools below. Learn about the boulders' origins and the many curious names given to the rock formations. Swim, relax and enjoy the ambiance of this piece of paradise. Then, retrace your footprints in the sand and ascend the path to the Top of the Baths where you will enjoy a fresh fruit smoothie. There is also time to relax and take a dip in the pool before departing via the safari wagons for a scenic island drive over Gorda Peak. Admire the stunning views to the north side, where a tender awaits to transfer you back to your SeaDream yacht.
Notes
Please bring swimwear, towel and sunscreen. The portion of the adventure involving actual exploration of the cave area can be considered strenuous to some so set your own pace; do as much or as little as you wish. Guests who prefer to enjoy the beach during this portion of the adventure are welcome to do so. Wear comfortable walking shoes as the footpath to The Baths is uneven and water shoes (not flip flops) in the water. While walking the path through The Baths, your feet will get wet. A backpack will be more convenient than a shoulder bag when walking through The Baths. This tour is available to guests aged 5 years and older.

Swim, snorkel or sun directly off the boat before returning to your yacht’s anchorage location.
