A swim in the middle of the Atlantic?

Now this is something you normally don't see on a trans-Atlantic cruise.

Industry watcher Seatrade Insider reports the captain of a SeaDream Yacht Club ship sailing across the Atlantic earlier this month made an unexpected stop so passengers could hop overboard for a swim.

The vessel, the SeaDream II, is equiped with a retractable marina deck that is often extended when the ship is at anchor in the sheltered bays of the Caribbean or the Mediterranean.

It's not necessarily designed for the open ocean. But in this case, the seas of the Atlantic were so unusually calm that the captain concluded it was safe to offer passengers a rare open-ocean dip.
