May 27 -June 3

-On May 27, 2000, members of The Society of Modern Psychoanalysts and their families are embarking on a conference experience that will begin with an actual embarkation aboard a Holland America cruise ship. The MS Zaandam in its maiden season will be the vessel that will take our members into the Western Caribbean.

The professional program aboard the Zaandam will have as its focus The State of Training in Modern Psychoanalysis and our Vision for the Future and will include discussions led by faculty and administrators of SMP training institutes. These meetings will be held in the mornings when the ship is at sea. Thus we combine professional advancement with the enjoyment of shipboard pleasures.

This spectacular ship provides all the amenities and activities that a five star cruise ship allows. It is a luxury liner with spacious staterooms equipped with an array of five star comforts, lovely dining rooms, dazzling entertainment in nightclubs and lounges and shipboard activities that range from indoor and outdoor pools, jogging/walking track, tennis courts, and gym to a full-service spa.

The cruise begins in Fort Lauderdale and after a day at sea our exciting itinerary takes us to the port of Playa del Carmen on the sunny Yucatan Peninsula. From there we go to Tulum—the only Mayan city built on the sea. There will be an opportunity for walking tours of Chichen Itza or horseback riding along the picturesque shores of Cozumel. We will then cruise to Grand Cayman, famous for its talcum-soft Seven Mile Beach. After another day at sea, we arrive at Jamaica’s Ocho Rios noted for the spectacular Dunn’s River Falls. Finally, we alight at Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas before returning to Fort Lauderdale.

Our group receives a 45% reduction from published fares. Participants may choose Mini Suites with verandahs which cost approximately $1600 per person or outside staterooms without verandah at $1200-1300. In addition there is a SMP conference fee of $150 per person. There is still time to participate in this exciting conference tour.
