Brighton is a proud host for the event. The city played a key role in dolphin preservation as the site where some of the last captive dolphins held in Britain were released to be returned to the wild in the Caribbean.

SEAS THE MOMENT has four, romantic guest staterooms. The uncluttered décor is soothing and sets the tone for relaxation. The glow of indirect lighting under guest beds makes them magically hover a few inches above the floor. Textured carpet suggests the gentle ripple of waves on shore.
