Seawings Lifestyle is a bespoke Luxury holidays and Excursions sub brand of Seawings, a luxury seaplane tour operator based in the United Arab Emirates.
History
Seawings Lifestyle launched as a subsidiary of Seawings in 2013 to provide customized and luxury tour packages in the UAE while the parent company, Seawings, was founded in 2007.
The company additionally launched "Seawings Air Cruise Holidays" as an extension of Seawings Lifestyle which targets its customers with bespoke schedules and routes as a combination of luxury seaplanes and road transfers. The brand allows the visitors to plan personalized holidays. The air cruise concept is that traveling should provide a unique experience akin to the experience provided by resorts and hotels, so as to incorporate the holiday experience into every element of journey. The concept of air cruise is taken from that of airship travel to a modern airship that serves as a floating hotel with tourists given rooms inside for them to view their scenic destinations from the windows. Seaplanes have been used as luxury planes since 1930s and the concept of the air cruise is to use the seaplane as the mode of transport to cover short distances and reach exotic destinations.
The company has partnered with hotels and resorts such as Anantara, Bab Al Shams, Le Royal Meridien, Park Hyatt, Banyan Tree, Six Senses Zighy Bay and Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa in order to facilitate their luxury air travel excursions. The excursions under this brand include travels from Dubai Creek to venues like Sir Baniyas, Abu Dhabi, Zighy Bay, Oman and Maha Resort, Al Ain.
Over the years, Seawings Lifestyle has seen an increase in passengers with up to 20,000 passengers flying in 2014.
Seawings Lifestyle's concept revolves around clean, uninterrupted views of landscape below to each individual by personal viewing windows, as well as optimized speed for viewing and travel and the use of luxury planes. The company notably uses Cessna Caravan Amphibian Seaplane.
