Sail for half as long again for half the price*

Cruise Specialist Holidays has an unusual opportunity to sail nearly twice as long on a holiday in the Mediterranean this October, but at almost half the normal price — aboard the world’s highest-rated boutique motor-cruise yacht, SeaDream I.

It’s because SeaDream, which has just 56 staterooms for a maximum 112 guests pampered by 95 officers, staff and crew, will transfer from Athens across the Mediterranean to Malaga in Spain, in preparation for its annual autumn repositioning to the Caribbean.

SeaDream I departs Athens on 2 October for 12 nights (compared with normal sailings of seven nights) visiting 11 of the Mediterranean’s most desired ports — many of them too small for larger cruise ships to access — and a transit of the historic Corinth Canal.

Prices start from US$5731 per person twin-share (down from previously advertised US$11,132) including all onboard gourmet five-star dining, drinks from the no-charge bars, wines with lunches and dinners, nightly cocktail gatherings, use of a 50-course golf simulator, power and sail watersports where allowed by local authorities, port taxes, and even onboard gratuities.

Ports that SeaDream I will visit after departing Piraeus (Athens) are Aigina Island and Mykonos (Greece), through the Corinth Canal to Itea and Fiskardho in Greece, Taormina (Sicily), Valetta in Malta, La Goulette in Tunisia, Palma de Mallorca (Spain), Ibiza and Motril in Spain, and Malaga, where there is a night aboard ship.
