Starting November 7th, SeaDream will offer 22 roundtrip sailings from Barbados. The season is comprised of eight different types of six-to-eight-night voyages. The newly unveiled season also includes calls in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada. All three countries open to Americans.
The SeaDream l is coming off a successful summer season in Norway.
“Sailing during these times undoubtedly presents some new challenges. But as the first luxury line to begin sailing again, we have learned many lessons and are confident we can provide a safe environment without sacrificing luxury,“ said SeaDream’s Andreas Brynestad. “We are thrilled to offer our guests a much-needed escape and the dream vacation they deserve onboard SeaDream.”
The Barbados winter season begins with a 21-day transatlantic voyage set to sail from Oslo. The ship will stop in Skagen, Denmark and Southampton, UK, before heading to the West Indies.
The Barbados winter season destinations include:
• Bridgetown, Barbados
• Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines
• Port Elizabeth, Bequia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines
• Canouan Island, St. Vincent and the Grenadines
• Mayreau, St. Vincent and the Grenadines
• Tobago Cays, St. Vincent and the Grenadines
• Union Island, St. Vincent and the Grenadines
• St. George’s, Grenada
As in Norway, SeaDream is launching the Barbados winter season with one ship only, SeaDream I. Due to overwhelming demand during the summer season in Norway, the company brought SeaDream II to double capacity and meet demand.
Thanks to their size, SeaDream’s superyachts are able to quickly adapt their itineraries to comply with government regulations. SeaDream has been working closely with health and government authorities to ensure the safety of the crew, guests, and communities visited.
SeaDream was able to successfully implement a comprehensive COVID-19 prevention plan that resulted in zero positive cases during the entire Norwegian summer season. SeaDream has since improved their procedures further, with three Abbott ID Now testing machines that will test guests prior to departure. The goal is to create a COVID-19 negative bubble, where guests can relax and enjoy the safety of the ship.
In that effort, onshore excursions will also be limited to predesignated places in an organized fashion. Guests will be asked to observe social distancing guidelines and take temperature checks daily. Guests will be able to enjoy the signature experience of SeaDream without disruption, including the iconic Champagne & Caviar Splash as well as the Watersports Marina. New onboard will be the use of an Altapure ultrasonic disinfecting system that can kill any Covid-19 virus in the air. This is in addition to the already stringent sanitation procedures SeaDream has in place.
