A Better Way to Cross the Atlantic

While the problems with volcanic ash clouds hovering over Europe didn't actually send stranded passengers dashing to the nearest cruise ship in their thousands - it is true that some tourists have been made to think of the alternatives to air travel.

With this in mind, striking while the iron is hot, cruise lines like SeaDream Yacht Club are quickly drawing attention to their transatlantic voyages.

As Bob Lepisto, President of SeaDream Yacht Club – upscale operator of elegant but casual seagoing adventures – says “Jets are fine if you are in a hustling hurry but a leisurely, blue water sail is a delightful alternative not to be missed.”

So, with a smile and an idea whose time has come, Bob calls attention to his twin, mega-yacht cruisers – SeaDream I and II – that will soon journey on lazy eastbound transatlantic voyages from the Caribbean to Europe – the old fashioned way.

SeaDream II departs Bridgetown, Barbados April 25 for a 12-day transatlantic sailing to Malaga, Spain. Those lazy days at sea are interrupted at Funchal, Madeira for an overnight pleasure stop.

SeaDream I departs San Juan, Puerto Rico April 30 for a similar 13-day voyage and a morning-evening stop at Funchal before she arrives at Malaga.

And here’s the best part: Fares start at SeaDream’s special "Book Today and Save" rate which is only $2,299 per person.

Frankly a much more pleasant way to travel across the Atlantic.

Bob Lepisto notes that SeaDream has already experienced an up-tick in bookings from travelers who have cited the volcanic ash cloud as a reason for sailing with SeaDream.
