RELAXATION BENEATH
THE SAILS.
For gourmets, culture lovers
and sailing enthusiasts
Our specially themed cruises provide unique opportunities – from an exclusive tour
of the National Gallery in London to a bicycle cruise along the Scandinavian coast and across
the Baltic states, an exclusive Steinway concert for Sea Cloud ii guests, or six days of
Sea Cloud and Sea Cloud ii sailing together on the same course.

SEA CLOUD
A self-assured grande dame, a stylish yet
informal sailing icon and a generous host –
the Sea Cloud is a living legend. Built as
a private luxury yacht, this ship combines
extravagant charm with an authentic tall ship
experience.
SEA CLOUD II
Who says you cannot have it all? The tall
ship Sea Cloud ii brings together the best
of two worlds: This spacious three-masted
barque offers all the amenities of a modern
cruise ship whilst remaining a quintessential
windjammer.

PASSIONATE
ABOUT SAILING.
Truly authentic,
truly romantic
Tradition is kept alive on board the Sea Cloud and Sea Cloud ii. On these ships,
sailing is not just for show – it is a true craft. Every single manoeuvre marks a centuries-old
ritual being brought to life. Hoisting the sails by hand takes almost an hour and makes for a
fascinating spectacle each and every time – amazing both sailing novices and true enthusiasts
again and again.

Escape from the daily grind
On board, only your body clock sets the
rhythm, and it does not count seconds but
beautiful moments. You can while away the
day without a care and relax, enjoying the
private yacht flair.
Moments of indulgence
It is the little, finer things in life that turn a
cruise into an extraordinary experience.
From the luxurious décor and the exquisite
and creatively designed cuisine to our first-
class service, on board the Sea Cloud and
the Sea Cloud ii we offer an exclusive ho-
liday that is designed around you. Our entire
crew takes great pleasure in treating every
guest to a unique experience, and in excee-
ding expectations time and time again.
