The SeaDream II cruise ship is a mega yacht with 56 guest accommodations. Fifty-four of these are what we call Yacht Club Staterooms of 195 square feet. Sixteen of these are convertible to eight Commodore Club (double) Staterooms of 390 square feet. There is also an Owner's Suite of 450 square feet and an Admiral Suite at 375 square feet. Therefore, our yachts will accommodate from 47 to 56 couples based on how the staterooms are configured.

Each SeaDream stateroom features a marble-clad bathroom with amenities by the internationally-known company, Bulgari, and plush Turkish cotton bathrobes. There are also separate, multi-jet, massage shower units and lighted, magnifying mirrors. Each Stateroom living-room area features an Entertainment Center with a large, flat screen, plasma television, CD/DVD systems, iPod docking station, internet ready outlets and personalized stationery. Each stateroom also has a bar and refrigerator unit stocked with complimentary beer, soft drinks and bottled spring water.

Entertainment includes the intimate Piano Bar, light music in the Main Lounge, first run movies or other special films in the Main Lounge and under the stars by the swimming pool, or your choice of CDs and DVDs in staterooms. In addition guests may check out at no cost an iPod stocked with all types of music. Complimentary water toys include kayaks, snorkel gear, banana boat, Hobie Cat and Jet Skis. Mountain bikes also available. SeaDream guests like to entertain themselves. The art of conversation is considered important on SeaDream Yachts. So is the art of reading, sunbathing on deck or snoozing in the shade.
