Sailing Yacht Cruises with Sea Travel Limited

2011-09-19T15:01:00.000+01:00

Setting a course to follow your desires....

It was the longing for far away places and the great unknown that pushed man to build ships and explore the world. It was the wind that called them to set out. It was the sail that helped mankind to discover distant shores. Since the legendary Sea Cloud was the first yacht in a small and beautiful fleet - The two windjammers Sea Cloud and Sea Cloud II carry this yearning on board as they set sail. They cruise in the world’s finest sailing waters, including those of Central America and the Lesser Antilles, and they visit Mediterranean shores. And while the Sea Cloud enchants nostalgics and romantics with its uniqueness and its history, the Sea Cloud II joins together two demanding worlds by offering an authentic sailing experience and fulfilling the highest expectations of those embarking on an exclusive cruise. To many, the elegant travelling style of a bygone era and the rediscovery of the slowness are a pleasure and an enrichment alike. On board the River Cloud II, you can satisfy this yearning in the scenic heart of Europe, whether by visiting fascinating cities, passing through idyllic landscapes, or immersing yourself in the life of a river that naturally connects town and country – be it in Bruges, Amsterdam, Budapest or Vienna, by the banks of the Moselle or on the delta of the Danube.

Travel to Israel on a Cargo Ship

2011-07-26T12:24:00.000+01:00

Greetings,

We have received a number of requests from people wishing to visit Israel and asking for Freighter cruises departures from both United States and Europe.
We at Sea Travel Limited can certainly assist with booking a passage on board Cargo ships.
There is availability with departures from:
NEW YORK,NORFOLK,SAVANNAH or CHARLESTON, USA to PORT SAID, Egypt
For example departure from Charleston to Port Said will cost in a Double Cabin : EUR 1,600 per person, based on double occupancy and including all charges/ taxes/ meals/ deviation insurance/accommodation.

The border crossings between Egypt and Israel are very much frequented by tourists therefore transportation options are readily available. Taxis, buses, and minibuses ply these borderlands regularly. Sea Travel Limited would recommend asking about the full sized bus options along the way, as this will be your most reliable transportation — although there are only a few buses each day.

The easiest way would be to take the full sized bus or Taxi that travels to the Egyptian border at Taba. At the border in Taba you have to fill out a lot of forms. That could take a while.. Make sure you have enough time and don't plan any times before you get into Israel. Also have your passport ready at all times. When you get into Israel, make sure you don't have any metal on you or in you handbag. Then you may have to strip....
Israeli Customs will also go over your bag to see if you carry any chemicals. Once you get into Israeli side of the border it would be no problem to take a taxi or the bus. Taxi and bus is right outside the border and the transportation from the border through Israel should cost around 50 ($12.5) sheckles.

As for departures from Europe to Israel, Sea Travel Limited have regular sailings from Monfalcone in Italy to Ashdod or Haifa, which only take up to 6/8 days duration and prices start from EUR 510 per person based on double occupancy.

2011-06-09T11:26:00.000+01:00

A Croatian Adventure with Sea Travel Limited- The Dalmatian Coast Freighter Cruise

There is more to the idyllic destination of Dalmatia than mere beaches and sun cream. While many heading to Croatia make a beeline for the islands, an increasing number of visitors prefer to stay on the mainland. Sea Travel takes a look at the region's gastronomic and cultural treats Croatia offers. Croatia is the elegant Pearl of the Adriatic, characterised by its luxury five star hotels and movie stars such as John Malkovich. This is a place for fine dining and bar hopping. Sea Travel offers freighter cruises to and from Croatia once every 14 days visiting Venice, Malta, Slovenia and Italy on the way. For those who forego the attractions of island hopping these port cities have a rich life of their own and can provide the perfect break. Croatia is a relaxed getaway in sumptuous surroundings. Tourists can dine on prime seafood, suculent lamb and first class cheese drizzled in virgin olive oil as they take one of the world's most jaw dropping vistas across the Adriatic.

See vivid birdlife and the legendary baobab trees, walk the dunes in the beautiful desert of the Western Sahara, and experience daily life of Africa through its lively markets and music.

Epic 70 is an expedition that runs the length of an entire ocean has to be a mind-stretching experience. Leave the fast-paced, modern world behind to explore over 6,700 nautical miles of ocean and the fascinating stepping stones that lie across it: some of the remotest islands in the world.
