Ports

Piraeus

Piraeus is located to the south of Athens. It is the capital of the Piraeus Prefecture and belongs to the Athens urban area. It was the port of the ancient city of Athens and it was chosen to serve as the modern port when Athens was re-founded in 1834. Piraeus remains one of the busiest shipping and industrial centres of the Mediterranean.

Athens

You reach the bustling port of Piraeus, just a hop away from the ‘Mother of Civilisation’, peerless Athens.

Kefallonia/Ithaca

Probably the sunniest place in Greece, Kefallonia is also blessed with a spectacular geography. Throughout all of its 735 sq km (284 sq mi), you can find the kind of coastal and inland scenery that makes this part of the world such a drawcard for travellers. Ubiquitous cypress and olive trees combine with unique wildflowers to add splashes of colour to the arid inland areas, while the coast boasts a healthy population of turtles and a far more fragile population of Mediterranean Monk Seals.

Venture into the countryside and its lovely hill towns, one with a Norman Castle built of black lava, and visit beautiful old Catania.

Cruise line info

SeaDream Yacht Club

SeaDream Yacht Club

SeaDream Yacht Club is an innovative, new yachting company that operates the twin, ultra-luxury mega yachts SeaDream I and SeaDream II. Since their introduction in September 2001, they have become the prototypes of the casual and intimate yachting experience. SeaDream Yacht Club has built upon this legacy and today the two sleek and stylish SeaDream yachts are highly acclaimed by discerning travellers seeking a unique seagoing experience and by travel industry observers worldwide.
 
SeaDream Yacht Club was founded in September of 2001 by Norwegian entrepreneur Atle Brynestad, who founded Seabourn Cruise Line. Bob Lepisto, the President of the Company has been with SeaDream since the beginning and says "SeaDream is not a cruise line. We are a yacht company and we provide a yachting experience." Yachting features an open and unstructured ambience that provides each guest the opportunity to enjoy it at their own pace and in their own style. We like to express this as "No clocks, no crowds, no lines, and no stress." The key word for the SeaDream yachting experience is "unstructured". The dress code is smart casual and use of water toys, drinks (with some exclusions), and gratuities are included. It is all about personal choice, a free form holiday in which guests feel that they are aboard their own yacht. That is why we say, "It's yachting, not cruising".
