SeaDream's Eye-Opening Journey Into an Ancient World

SEADREAM Yacht Club has a 7-day roundtrip voyage from Istanbul on August 30 this year that's not just a magical 5-star, laid-back experience aboard the world's highest-rated boutique passenger vessel, it also embraces some of the most fascinating architectural regions of classical Turkey and the oldest Greek Islands – as well as the opportunity for Australians and New Zealanders, in particular, to visit Gallipoli.

Mega motor-cruiser SeaDream II will visit Kepez for optional tours to both Troy and Gallipoli, Kusadasi for the opportunity to see the famed ruins of classical Ephesus dating back to the 10th century BC, picturesque Pythagorion on Samos Island, Mykonos where the sun shines 300 days of the year, Paros Island's ancient Parikia famed for its waterfront cafés and bars on cobble-stoned streets, and Mytilene on Lesvos that's one of the oldest cities in the world (10BC.) And SeaDream is small enough to get up-close to those places you want to see.

Prices for this eye-opening sailing begin from US$5401pp twin-share including all 5-star dining, wines and selected bar drinks, power and sail water-sports (where locally permitted,) use of a 30 championship course golf simulator and state of the art fitness centre, gratuities, and port charges and taxes.

SeaDream II has just 56 staterooms for a maximum 112 guests served by 95 crew, and whilst 5-star, dress-code is smart casual with no call for jackets, ties or formal attire.
