SeaDream Yacht Club INTRODUCES NEW ELEGANT AND FUNCTIONAL WEBSITE
The website may be accessed at www.seadream.com.
Commenting on the internet project, Larry Pimentel, SeaDream President and CEO, said �The technology of websites as a marketing tool has come a long way since we began operations in the fall of 2001. The ability to tell the complete story of SeaDream electronically in an appealing manner is a reality. I invite everyone to browse our new site for information and for entertainment.
�After a thorough study of contemporary website design, we decided to overhaul and revise ours and to bring it up-to-the-minute, so it reflects the style and elegance of our total product.
�The site is eye-catching, imparts a lot of information in a well-organized manner and is easy to use.
�The name of the game when dealing with the technology of the internet is to keep it simple. Those who check our website will find we have done just that,� he said.
Highlights of SeaDream�s colorful new website are:
� Video Clips---These depict SeaDream I and II at sea and in various ports-of-call and show activities such as water sports and the much-heralded Champagne and Caviar Splash.
� 360 Degree Virtual Tour of SeaDream�s Mega-Yachts--- Including accommodations, public rooms and on-deck features.
� Awards and Accolades---A rundown of the prominent awards and accolades SeaDream has received from authoritative travel guidebooks and other publications.
� Schedules, Itineraries and Shore Excursions---Viewers are able to access up-to-date information on the SeaDream Experience as it sails in European and Caribbean waters. At present these go through 2008. Viewers are able to plan their SeaDream voyages.
� Pricing---The website is the infallible source for current pricing which is subject to change on a daily basis as voyages are booked. Complete details on SeaDream�s �Book Now and Save� program are found in this section of the website. Since pricing fluctuates, SeaDream�s printed brochure does not contain pricing information.
� Color Photos Gallery of the SeaDream Lifestyle---There is complete range of excellent photographs of life aboard the SeaDream I and II including stateroom accommodations shown from all angles.
� Deck and Stateroom Plans---Color-coded, the large illustrations virtually place website viewers aboard the SeaDream yachts.
� Virtual SeaDream Brochure---Page by Page viewers can peruse the SeaDream brochure. There is also a mechanism for ordering a hard copy.
� E-Cards---Viewers will find a varied selection of colorful postcards that may be customized. Travel professionals may send them to clients or SeaDream guests may send them to friends.
Other functions found on the new SeaDream website are a Boutique Shopper for luxurious, logo wear and various gift items, a complete SeaDream Frequently Asked Questions (fact Sheet of quick, easy-to-find information), News Releases issued by the company as well as comments by press, public and travel industry executives, the necessary Terms and Conditions of Passage and a special Journalists� Section that includes high resolution photographs that may be downloaded.
A highly important section of the website is a section called Charters. SeaDream, in addition to operating regularly-schedule voyages for individual bookings, charters more than 70 percent of its total inventory to corporations, smaller companies and even private families for special holidays. This section provides viewers with a step-by-step account of Full Yacht Chartering and Group Booking. The section includes what�s included in charters, what�s not included, payment policy---even sample menus.
In conclusion Larry Pimentel added �We invite everyone---consumers and travel professionals alike---to visit us at our new website. We believe it will immerse them in the SeaDream Experience and provide valuable information as well.�
