| Future Plans for Sea Goddesses |
Seabourn Cruise Line founder Atle Brynestad takes possession September 1 --
this Saturday -- of the prizes from a recent shopping spree: Sea Goddess I
and II. The 116-passenger yacht-like ships, to be called SeaDream I and
SeaDream II under the corporate moniker of SeaDream Yacht Club, were once
owned by Cunard. Then, under Carnival Corp., ownership transferred to
Seabourn’s fleet.
The SeaDream twins will sail regularly scheduled itineraries (Europe through
the fall, Atlantic crossings and then Caribbean in winter). Seabourn
passengers who had booked passage after September 1 were rerouted to other
vessels in that line and the folks at SeaDream, who include Larry Pimentel,
Seabourn’s former president and SeaDream’s new CEO, have created a
simplified pricing structure to attract passengers. Plan to pay $325 per day
for European sailings, $250 per day for the Caribbean and $199 for
crossings. That’s per person, double occupancy and rates include gratuities,
port fees and some alcoholic beverages.
The charming twins, whose stellar appearance had been allowed to languish a
bit under Carnival ownership, will go into a serious refurbishment during
drydock in April. Ft. Lauderdale-based North Star Tours is handling
bookings.
