Prompted
by demand from it’s very loyal Club members,
SeaDream Yacht Club has just released full details on its plans to sail
a series of voyages in Asia and Northern Australia beginning in late
2013. The line reports that one of its twin mega-yachts,
SeaDream II will sail to Asia after completing her 2013
Mediterranean season. Sure to be a unique voyage, the “Passage to the
Far East” will depart Athens, Greece in October 2013 and include a
transit of the Suez Canal, excursions to Egypt’s fascinating
archeological sites (accompanied by Egyptologist) and calls to several
other intriguing destinations before arriving in Mumbai, India. From
Mumbai, the yacht will sail to Singapore and the Far East, planning to
offer 18 unique voyages in the region. Voyages
are 7 to 15 days long, but most may be combined as a back-to-back
voyage for a lengthier holiday.

Asia through April 2014, itineraries include numerous exotic ports in
several different countries including Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia,
Singapore, Myanmar
(Burma), East Timor, Northern Australia, Indonesia, New Guinea,
Vietnam, Cambodia and Hong Kong. “Whether you crave the peace and
tranquility of undiscovered beaches and islands or the exhilarating
energy and buzz of foreign cities, Asia offers something for
everyone” said SeaDream’s President, Bob Lepisto. Adding, “Virtually
every country in the region is accessible by water and SeaDream’s
yachting itineraries include an incredible mix of commercial cities,
pristine beaches and impressive historical sites. We’ve
planned very unique calls, such as the little-visited islands of the
Burmese Mergui Archipelago in the Andaman Sea and Sanya, on Hainan
