With growing numbers of Australians adding the Caribbean to an American vacation, SeaDream Yacht Club has a tempting alternative for Christmas this year with eight days in the Southern Caribbean, including Christmas Day at Grenada’s capital St George’s that cuddles within the crater of a long-extinct volcano.Beginning and ending in Bridgetown, Barbados, a maximum of just 112 guests will enjoy some of the Caribbean’s most picturesque islands, and without the crowds as many of these islands are simply too small for regular cruise ships.They include tiny Canouan that’s a mere 5.6-kilometres long and 2-kilometres wide with just 1200 residents scattered around its almost-Hollywood white sand beaches and secluded bays, while others will allow guests to choose from soaking up sun and sea, scuba diving, hiking, sport fishing, checking out the filming locations for Pirates of the Caribbean…. or shopping the boutiques and markets.At some islands you may enjoy SeaDream’s famed Champagne Splash with Champagne and Caviar served from surfboard ‘bars’ floating in calm seas off brilliant white-sand beaches, plus the opportunity to use the mega motor-cruiser’s own extensive power and sail water-sports facilities. Complimentary wines are included with lunches and dinners, as well as drinks from the open bars.Prices for 19 December 2015 sailing start from US$5647 per person twin-share – plus you can add an extra week voyage beforehand from Marigot on Saint Martin to Barbados from a low US$3391 per person twin-share… and if you do, SeaDream will take 10% off the cruise portion of the longer eight-day Christmas sailing, reducing its price by over US$500 per person to US$5127 per person twin-share.
