SeaDream II, built in 1985 and operated since 2001 by SeaDream Yacht Club, is a small jewel, more akin to a private yacht than a bustling mass-market cruise ship. With no more than 112 guests, the onboard atmosphere is upscale but without pretension, and once you board pretty much everything is included, from wine to caviar to a Champagne party on the beach. SeaDream II, like its identical twin SeaDream I, explores lesser-known ports throughout the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. A multi-million-dollar refurbishment in 2022 updated every stateroom, added a new teak deck and two forward-facing Jacuzzis, and spruced up the restaurant and lounges.
