The perfect break from winter Visiting the Caribbean on one of the Sea Clouds is a truly special experience: With the trade winds prevailing, a dream sailing area awaits – on a windjammer that is still traditionally sailed by hand. Off the beaten tourist track, the sailing yachts anchor in little bays and harbours. An excursion across the island in a small group of like-minded people; a stroll all by yourself ashore; or rather a dip in the sea and a lazy day on a beach? You, and only you, decide what your perfect break away should be. 2
Close to the elements: feel the wind and the sea When the Sea Clouds lift their anchors again, pure deceleration awaits you – with an unparalleled supporting programme: Deftly, the sailors climb into the shrouds, release the heavy cloth, then vigorously tighten the ropes down on deck. There are no buttons that can simply be pressed. On these ships, sailing is not just for show – it is a true craft. When the orders ring out over the deck and the crew hoist the sails, every single manoeuvre marks a centuries-old ritual being brought to life. 3
Relaxed attitude to life You won’t find it difficult to choose your favourite spot on board. In the stylishly casual ambiance, you can while away the days; and in no time at all, the daily grind will be many nautical miles away. You will instantly feel at home among friends on board “your private yacht” and, pampered by the attentive crew, you can look forward to a very intensive experience of freedom under sail. Arrive, unwind, savour The scent of salt in your nose, the sound of the waves in your ears, and on your skin the touch of the wind that gets caught in up to 4,100 m2 / 44,100 sq ft of sailcloth: On board a Sea Cloud, you get right up close to the elements. Here, the sea is always almost within your reach – not a dozen decks away! After all, a voyage aboard a majestic tall ship is much more than just a cruise. 4
Highlights for the palate Our first-class chefs simply enjoy surprising their guests again and again with sophisticated menus and fine wines. On the Lesser Antilles and in Central America, European dining culture meets Caribbean ease. With barbecues on deck, fresh fish speciali- ties and al-fresco buffets, you will soon discover this region’s culinary delights. 5
Lesser Antilles, Grenadines, US and British Virgin Islands The Lesser Antilles dot the turquoise-coloured Caribbean Sea like a dazzling pearl necklace. Bordered by the Virgin Islands in the North and the Grenadines in the South, this dream destination provides perfect sailing conditions and offers a colourful mixture of natural wonders and joie de vivre.

The green side of the Antilles Volcanic lakes, waterfalls and gardens full of tropical plants: On the southern islands of the Antilles and the Grenadines, the Caribbean impresses with varied scenic features and its lush, green nature. During our excursions inland, you can discover the diversity of the various islands. The abundance of exotic blossoms and the scent of spices is bound to enchant you. 8
Every island a new treasure box While on St Lucia, the green volcanic spires of the two Pitons almost regally greet approaching ships from afar, the natural beauty of Dominica holds back a little, yet fascinates with its lush national parks – one of them even a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. And Grenada carries its name “Spice Island” for a good reason: Its air is heavy with the aromas of cloves, ginger and nutmeg. 9
Beautiful beaches and idyllic coves The Caribbean reflects a truly special attitude to life. When the sun twinkles through the palm trees and you dig your toes deep into the warm sand, it is obvious: Idleness can also be a lot of fun. The US and British Virgin Islands, the Tobago Cays and Anguilla entice with tropical dream beaches. 10
Immerse yourself in the Caribbean The crystal-clear waters around the Lesser Antilles beckon to go swimming or snorkelling; and a barbecue on the beach or aboard the yacht promises relaxed enjoyment. For water enthusiasts, snorkelling equipment, standup paddle boards and towable tubes are provided for fun activities from the beach or the ship. 11
Famous haunts for sailors and yachts We drop anchor in places that draw the smaller yachts from all over the world. In the rustic beach bars on the US and the British Virgin Islands, you will soon get talking – their carefree way of life is highly infectious. With their charming French flair, the Îles des Saintes are no different. A little more mysterious is Virgin Gorda where the famous stone labyrinth “The Baths” is not to be missed. 12
Regatta on the jet-set island of St Barths The fact that St Barths can only be reached by small aircraft often attracts international celebrities who come to enjoy relaxing days on the tranquil beaches or head to the capital of Gustavia. A highlight for sports fans is the Bucket Regatta, a remarkable sailing event held in March every year that sees 30 stylish superyachts compete against one another. And on your Sea Cloud, you have a prime seat for this spectacle! 13

Dream destination Cuba The Queen of the Caribbean’s vibrant rhythms simply sweep everyone away. This island is a myth and a place of longing, a bather’s paradise, and for many still the cliché of road cruisers and cigars. Cuban life has a rhythm quite of its own, and Havana’s morbid charm goes hand in hand with the originality of this region. Experiencing the nature, culture and infectious vitality, it is virtually impossible not to succumb to Cuba’s fascination. 28
Colonial world heritage meets pulsating rhythms Sugar cane plantations, cattle breeding and the cultivation of tobacco once made Trinidad a wealthy city. Strolling across cobblestones through the beautiful old quarter, from which cars have been banned, is like travelling back in time to the 18th century, as you walk past colourful churches and colonial buildings. In Santiago de Cuba, the cradle of son, the island’s musical heartbeat with its African-Caribbean roots is parti- cularly strong – which makes the city the best place for dancing! 29
Jamaica – a natural beauty Known for its reggae, Rastafarians and rum, Jamaica has many magical and serene natural settings to offer alongside its rousing rhythms. The area of Port Antonio in the Northeast is the spot on the island with the most beautiful scenery. With its countless caves, rivers and waterfalls, it also provided an exotic backdrop for a number of films. 30
Beach fun and relaxation With your feet in the sand as you gaze out over green hills, shadowy palms and the tranquil sea, you will soon forget about the stresses of everyday life back home. And if you really just want to relax, you will find the perfect place to do so in the soft sands of Port Antonio, Maria la Gorda and the British Virgin Islands. 31

Diversity in Panama and Costa Rica The contrasts could not be more extreme: While skyscrapers grow higher and higher in the trend metropolis Panama City, a few kilometres away, the untouched jungle still engulfs everything. With their volcanoes, cloud forests and exotic fauna, Panama and Costa Rica count among the most beautiful of nature’s paradises in Latin America. Maya cities in Mexico and Belize The sophisticated culture of the Maya, which began roughly 5,000 years ago and ended around the time of the Spanish conquest, is still a mystery. To this day, contemporary stone witnesses such as step pyramids and stone carvings remain. We will discover four mystical Maya strongholds: Altun Ha and Lamanai in Belize as well as Tulum and Uxmal in Mexico – the latter counts among the largest Maya sites in the country. 42
Fascinating water worlds The Lighthouse Reef Atoll off the coast of Belize features a true miracle of nature: the Great Blue Hole is the world’s second-largest coral reef and a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. The colourful little coral island Caye Caulker also belongs to Belize. In Bocas del Toro in Panama beckon crystal-clear waters and a fascina- ting national park with a multitude of species, both flora and fauna. 43
The Bahamas: pirate islands and snorkelling paradise Some 700 smaller and larger islands dot the brilliant turquoise waters of the Atlantic, 80 miles off the coast of Florida. With their crystal-clear water and colourful hustle and bustle around the many reefs, the Bahamas are a dream destination for all bathing and snorkelling enthusiasts. Where pirates hid in the old times, there is a lot to be discovered today: From the old plantations in San Salvador and the pink beaches of Eleuthera to the cute swimming pigs of the Exumas, the Bahamas offer a fairytale time away from it all. 44
From Florida‘s metropolis Miami to laid-back Key West Miami is the cosmopolitan hotspot of Florida: lively and full of contrasts; sometimes fiery as in Little Havana, sometimes cool as in Miami Beach with its many Art Deco buildings. On the Sea Cloud Spirit, you will also travel to Key West. People have always been attracted to the island because of its location in the very Southwest of the Florida Keys. It offered rich fishing grounds to the Calusa Indians, later became a Spanish colony, and has been U.S. territory since 1819. In 1928, the charm of the pastel-coloured town also attracted Ernest Hemingway – you can for example follow in his footsteps in Duval Street. 45
