SeaDream yachts began sailing in 1984 beneath the Sea Goddess banner and, after a couple changes of ownership and total renovation in 2002, they have evolved into the ultimate boutique ships. A voyage on one of these sleek megayachts is all about personal choice. Passengers enjoy an unstructured holiday at sea doing what they please, making it easy to imagine the diminutive vessel really is a private yacht. The ambience is refined and elegantly casual.

You enjoy dining as an event, as courses are presented with a flourish and wines flow freely.

You don't like to hear the word "no."

You have good sea legs. In rough seas, the SeaDream yachts tend to bob up and down.

You like to dress up. A sport coat is okay, no one ever wears a tie on these ships.

You must have a balcony: there are none.

You need structured activities: You'll have to plan your own.
