Carlson�s �Spirit of Excellence Awards�
Recognize SeaDream as Top Travel Supplier
SeaDream Yacht Club has been honored by Carlson Marketing Group as a �Premier Partner� and named as a recipient of the relationship marketing organization�s coveted �Spirit of Excellence� Award.
Each year Carlson honors a series of its leading travel suppliers---hotels, airlines, cruise line and destination---whose performance standards lead to the success of Carlson travel programs.
SeaDream, which operates an aggressive and highly successful yacht charter program as well as a scheduled cruise service, has worked closely with Carlson since 2001 when the ultra-luxury, mega yacht operator was founded.
Larry Pimentel, CTC, SeaDream�s President and CEO, commented on the award: �We have a strong and happy relationship with Carlson. The fact that Carlson has honored us in this way speaks volumes. It signifies that there is a mutual trust and high regard for key executives of both SeaDream and Carlson. It also speaks volumes about our onboard product. The fact is the SeaDream product is an ideal charter product.
