The
Magnificent Sea Cloud
The Sea Cloud is truly a queen of the seas. Since her construction as a private yacht
in 1931 in Kiel, her elegant appearance and magnificent interior have inspired awe.
The original owner of Sea Cloud, heriress Marjorie Merriweather Post & her husband EF Hutton,
spared no expense in building this luxury yacht that was to carry stars and royalty to the far
corners of the globe. Launched in 1931, this ship is a testament to the fine style of a bygone
era.
Today, the four-masted barque is at home on the world’s oceans as a cruise ship extraordinaire.
Those who have sailed with her in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, or perhaps across the Atlantic,
return to her again and again. Lovingly restored and modernised, rich in history and
tradition, the 65 passenger Sea Cloud and its 94 passenger sister ship Sea Cloud II are icons in
the world of luxury passenger sailing ships, delighting discerning passengers of all ages.
Luxurious cabins, fine cuisine and the shipboard ambiance create an once in a lifetime
experience.
2010 will see the launch of the Sea Cloud Hussar. This new vessel will continue the style and
elegence of the Sea Cloud tradition with some new touches sure to enance your enjoyment.
The Sea Cloud's special charm is simply irresistible !
Customized travel at the ultimate level – that is the idea behind Sea Cloud Cruises. What began
in 1979 with the legendary private yacht Sea Cloud has been consistently refined over the past
years. Today guests can reach the most exotic destinations in Europe and the Caribbean aboard two
imposing tall ships, all in a wonderfully relaxed and casual atmosphere in which first-class chefs
create culinary highlights.
Distant horizons, white sails powering a gleaming white hull, the tang of sea spray in the air,
brilliant sunsets and stars sparkling like diamonds in a jet black sky are but a few of the special
moments that a sailing cruise brings to life.
For anyone who loves the sea, Sea Cloud and Sea Cloud II are two sailing ships that manage to
combine history, tradition and the true sense of adventure of the world of tall ship sailing with
the comfort and security of luxury 5 star accomodation, fine food and wine, and outstanding
individual service.
Summer cruises include programs on the Baltic to St. Petersburg and the other enchanting
northern ports. Mediterranean cruises include wonderful itineraries on the Adriatic from Venice
along the Dalmatian Coast, through the Greek Isles and other exciting ports of the Mediterranean.
In the fall, the Sea Cloud ships cross the ocean to the Caribbean where they call on the
exotic islands and small coves that only a yacht can visit.
