SeaDream
Yacht Club, a small entrepreneurial company, set up shop
in August 2001 and a month later took possession of two
luxury cruise ships originally known as the Sea Goddess I
and II. The line offers "ultra-luxury cruises on
mega-yachts," and potential cruisers need only look
to see who's in charge here to get an idea of what's in
store for them. The owner of SeaDream is Norwegian
industrialist Atle Brynestad, at one time the largest
shareholder of the old Royal Viking Line and the founder,
in 1987, of Seabourn Cruise Line. Chairman, CEO and
co-owner is Larry Pimentel, who worked for Brynestad as
the president of Seabourn. That luxury line is now owned
by Carnival Corp., which sold the two 116-passenger cruise
ships to Brynestad and Pimentel. Now named SeaDream I and
II, the vessels will be renovated with the total
transformation complete by May 2002. The
two cruise ships will sail in the same regions, calling in
some lesser-known ports that are inaccessible to
mega-ships. From May to October, both vessels will sail
weeklong Mediterranean itineraries, primarily to and from
Nice, France. Among the scheduled calls are less-visited
ports such as Portofino, Italy; Cassis and St. Tropez,
France; and Valencia, Spain. Starting in October, the duo
will operate weekly Caribbean cruises from Miami for 10
weeks before moving to a homeport in St. Thomas. The Miami
journeys call at San Salvador, Rose Island and Nassau in
the Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos, and Key West, Fla. St.
Thomas itineraries include visits to ports in the U.S. and
British Virgin Islands and the Grenadines.
