There is a type of tourism that prefers to travel on a small scale

There is a tourism that moves on a small scale, without crowds, and prefers (and can) to travel on more select types of ships, a segment of ultra-luxury and discretion that has grown considerably in recent years. This is the case of the vessel “Seadream II,” which has a capacity for only 116 passengers and is currently docked in the port of Cartagena.

Since August 2001, it has been owned by Seadream Yacht Club, a company registered in the Bahamas, and began its maritime life under the name “Sea Goddess II,” after being built at the Hollming Oy Raumo shipyard in Finland, which is the 467th construction from that factory, launched in April 1985 flying the flag of the company K/S A/S Norske Cruise, based in Oslo.

After a season chartered by Cunard Line along with its twin “Sea Goddess I,” in February 2000 it began a charter period with Seabourn Cruises, being renamed “Seabourn Goddess II” for a period of 18 months.

Weighing 4,260 gross tons and 450 tons deadweight, it measures 104.81 m in overall length, 14.61 m in beam, and 4 m in draft. It is powered by two Wärtsila 12V22HF engines, which provide a total power of 3,540 kW over two shafts, allowing it to maintain a speed of 16 knots. IMO Code 8203440.
