Our First Cruise of 2010! SeaDream II in the Caribbean

The holiday season has been a whirlwind for us. Right after Thanksgiving we finished updating a Hawaii guidebook for UK-based Thomas Cook and released our first issue of Voyage magazine, which is devoted to luxury cruising. (If you haven't yet read the Fall issue, you can still order a copy! Our first issue commemorates Seabourn Odyssey's maiden season and includes a feature about the new Celebrity Equinox and tips for visiting various Caribbean ports.)

From there we launched into our first annual Travel Bloggers' Caravan and gave away dozens of prizes to our visitors. We were thrilled to reach the end of December and took some time off as we celebrated the Christmas holiday with our families in the Northeast. We hope your holidays were as magical as ours were!

We're now looking forward to our first cruise of 2010! On January 10, 2010, we'll embark on Sea Dream Yacht Club's SeaDream II out of San Juan, Puerto Rico for an all-inclusive seven-night yachting adventure to the following ports of call:

San Juan, Puerto Rico
Culebrita, Puerto Rico

Esperanza, Vieques, Puerto Rico

Cruz Bay, St. John, United States Virgin Islands

Marigot, St. Martin, French West Indies

Saba, Netherlands, Antilles

Gustavia, St. Barthelemy, French West Indies

Jost van Dyke, British Virgin Islands

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands


I love the fact that SeaDream is a luxury line that offers plenty of seven-night options for those of us that prefer not to be out of the office for more than a week. (SeaDream also offers a handful of five-night itineraries in the Caribbean.)

The company tagline—"It's yachting, not cruising: there's a difference"—is also incredibly compelling since we love small ship sailing. With just 112 passengers and 95 crew, SeaDream II promises to be everything we love in a cruise getaway.

I'll be discussing SeaDream a lot during the next two weeks prior to embarkation. If you're a SeaDream regular, please let us know what you love most about the yachts and what's not to be missed!
