New Ports of Call for SeaDream's 2009 Caribbean Season

SeaDream Yacht Club has announced its Caribbean itineraries for 2009 (January through April). They've done a great job spicing things up! I was just lamenting to someone the other day that all of my favorite luxury cruise lines are doing the same-old same old in the Caribbean. With SeaDream's new itineraries, there are quite a few that will lure even die-hard Caribbean cruisers who feel as if they've seen every bay and cove there is to discover.

In January 2009, SeaDream I alternates between 5- and 9-day voyages between San Juan and Puerto Rico. Some of the more interesting ports of call include:

Gustavia, St. Barthelemy
Virgin Gorda, BVI
Honeymoon Beach, Water Island
Anegada, BVI
Saba, Netherlands Antilles
Peter Island, BVI
Culebrita, Puerto Rico
Esperanza, Vieques
Iles des Saintes, Guadeloupe

During the same time period, SeaDream II is plying the waters around San Juan with 7-day cruises.

In February 2009, SeaDream extends its reach to Dominica, St. Lucia (Rodney Bay and Castries), Montserrat, and Antigua. There's an especially intriguing 4-day Valentine's Day sailing that whisks travelers from San Juan to Culebrita, Puerto Rico; Esperanza, Vieques, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas; Honeymoon Beach, Water Island; Jost van Dyke, BVI; and back to San Juan.

SeaDream continues to explore St. Lucia in March, with calls on Soufrier Bay and Marigot Bay. The Grenadines are also added to the mix (Tobago Cays, Bequia, and Mayreau).

With temperatures rising in April, SeaDream's yachts focus on Samana, Dominican Republic, the Bahamas (Port Lucaya, Egg Island, and Nassau), Turks & Caicos (Cockburn Town), and Florida (Miami and Key West).

It's nice to see this change-up when it comes to Caribbean cruising. I'll be looking forward to a getaway in 2009! For more information, visit SeaDream's recently redesigned website.
