SeaDream Yacht Club unveils two NEW Amazon Adventures for 2012

SeaDream Yacht Club's 2012 winter and spring itineraries break new ground with two 20-night voyages to the Amazon.

The two yachts Seadream I and II will spend the late fall season of 2011 and early 2012 cruising the Caribbean - with an emphasis on visiting the smaller yachting playgrounds and harbours that large ships cannot reach.

Says SeaDream president Bob Lepisto: “We are thrilled to be adding the Amazon to our programme. Our size and maneuverability allows our yachts to reach tricky spots like Anavilhanas (Brazil) and Iquitos (Peru).”

2012 Amazon Adventure Highlights

In February and March 2012, SeaDream II will sail the Amazon on two 20-night voyages: departing on February 13 from Barbados, sailing to Iquitos, Peru; or departing Iquitos on March 4, sailing to Barbados.

Itineraries showcase the best of the Amazon including Cuxiu Muni, Brazil where guests have the option to take a night canoe trip in search of crocodiles, snakes and other night creatures.

In Alter do Chao, Brazil SeaDream hosts their Champagne and Caviar Splash on one of Brazil’s best beaches and guests may take a riverboat cruise on Maicá Lake to see rare pink dolphins.

In Manaus, Brazil, guests go “Flightseeing” in single or twin-engine aircraft, soaring over the Rio Negro, Rio Solimões, the Meeting of the Waters, the Amazon River and the magnificent expanse of jungle below.

Visiting a small village located on Tupinambarana Island, guests enjoy a “Boi-Bumba” celebration. This exotic ritual of magic, mystery, passion and faith is a feast for the eyes and ears.

A naturalist will be aboard both Amazon voyages providing in depth information about the great river wilderness.

Excursions will showcase Amazonian tribes, museums, markets and the jungle’s exotic plants and animals.
