Ports

  • St. John's, Antigua
    St. John's, Antigua

    St. John’s is the capital of the island of Antigua, in Antigua and Barbuda, located in the Caribbean West Indies. The island is defined by its intricate coastline, reef-fringed bays, and picturesque harbors, including English Harbour and the harbor of St. John’s, a frequent embarkation port for SeaDream travelers and guests’ gateway to island exploration. The island boasts sheltered white-sand beaches, a rich cultural heritage that lies in its eighteenth-century Nelson’s Dockyard, and the largest nesting colony of frigate birds in the entire Caribbean.

  • South Friars Bay
    South Friars Bay

    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.

  • Gustavia
    Gustavia

    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.

  • Marigot
    Marigot

    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.

  • Terre De Haut, Îles des Saintes
    Terre De Haut, Îles des Saintes

    If you’re looking for a small part of France in the heart of Guadeloupe, Terre de Haut is your go-to. Being the largest of the eight small islands that make up Les Saintes, Terre de Haut is a charming and scenic village rich with red-roofed houses and accompanying gardens of flourishing Hibiscus. Known for its robust reefs and great underwater visibility, Terre de Haut has also become a favorite among divers.

  • Port Elizabeth, Bequia
    Port Elizabeth, Bequia

    Bequia is the northernmost and largest of the Grenadines, just seven square miles of quiet lagoons, reefs, and long silvery stretches of beach. Among the first things you will notice are the colorful model boats set up on stands around the tiny harbor, representing the island's maritime history. If you are lucky enough to have a late call, don’t miss Mac’s Lobster Pizza.

  • Mayreau
    Mayreau

    Accessible only by yacht and small sailboats, Mayreau is the smallest public island of the Grenadines, with an area of about .46 square miles and a population of less than 300, centered in an unnamed village on a hilltop in the southwest of the island—its highest point and a nice hike from Saline Beach, where SeaDream anchors. Surrounded by magnificent coral reefs and gorgeous beaches, Mayreau and its surrounding Tobago Cays waters sit in a nationally protected area that has experienced a resurgence of marine life, including turtles that swim and feed while you mingle with and observe them. Take in the flora and fauna and don’t miss some of the best snorkeling in the world. Perhaps the ideal spot to anchor, Saline Bay provides easy access to Saline Bay Beach and Salt Whistle Bay Beach, a rare double-sided beach.

  • Bridgetown, Barbados
    Bridgetown, Barbados

    SeaDream uses the port of Bridgetown as the hub for their Southern Caribbean voyages as well as some voyages that cross the Atlantic. The Island itself includes UNESCO Heritage Sites, excellent beaches and history dating back to 1628. The climate is tropical with constant warm temperatures during the year cooled by light trade winds.

    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.

  • South Friars Bay - The Soul of St. Kitts - South Friars Bay

    Description

    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.

  • Marigot - French & Dutch Island Discovery

    Description

    Discover 2 countries on one island during this unusual island excursion.

    Depart Marigot port heading towards Paradise Peak, the highest elevation on the island, then pass Grand Case, the culinary capital of the Caribbean, and continue past Orient Beach to Paradise Lookout Point for a view of famous Orient Beach and the island of St. Barth with an opportunity to take some photos. Next you will drive through Quartier d’Orleans, also known as French Quarter and will cross the International Border to the Dutch side of the island.

    Upon arrival in Philipsburg, capital of the Dutch side, you have approximately 1 hour of free time to do some shopping on well-known Front Street or stroll along the Boardwalk to find many restaurants, bars and even ice cream parlors. There is also a fantastic view of the cruise ships at the Dr. A.C. Wathey Cruise & Cargo Facility, the largest port on the island. The journey continues to the Cay Hill Lookout Point, for views and a photo stop of Simpson Bay Lagoon, the largest land enclosed lagoon in the Caribbean, as well as of Simpson Bay Beach and all the way to Princess Juliana International Airport.

It is made from fine oak aged rum, sugar cane, and wild local Guavaberries – not to be mistaken with guavas.
