Maiden Journey of SEA CLOUD SPIRIT S ea C loud S pirit Premiere of the newest tall ship Palma de Mallorca – Palma de Mallorca 22 April to 02 May 2021
Dear windjammer friends, Many great things were not created overnight. With the construction of yet another tall ship, a new adventure began a few years ago also for S ea C loud C ruiSeS . And marks the departure into a new era: For us, launching the Sea Cloud S pirit means preserving traditional seamanship and centuries-old traditions of navigation and rigging, while at the same time meeting even better the evolving demands for comfort, enjoyment and modern cruising spirit. With the Spanish shipyard Metalships in Vigo, we have found a special partner whose expertise lies in the reali- zation of complex shipbuilding projects. In cooperation with various first-class suppliers, we rely on traditional craftsmanship. And we make no compromises, neither in the rigging nor in the interior fittings. Thanks to the quality of our partners and their shared know-how, the original date of the maiden voyage was clearly defined. But adven- tures have their own rules. After construction progress was temporarily severely affected by the pandemic, the work is now running at full speed again. And, after our last visit to Vigo, it is also clear: the Sea Cloud S pirit will be ready next spring and will perfectly complement our fine fleet! We are sure that this adventure will finally come to a good end. So that another great adventure can soon begin for you. Our crew will be delighted to welcome you on board from 22 April to 2 May 2021. Best wishes, Your Sea Cloud CruiSeS Team 2
“Curtain up” for the new SEA CLOUD SPIRIT: Inspiring, generous and with many new possibilities. To build a fully rigged three-master in the 21st century might seem a little unusual. For Sea Cloud CruiSeS, this is a commitment to the true passion for sailing. A windjammer that sets new standards among sailors The youngest member of the S ea C loud family offers plenty of space for individuality in addition to true windjammer romance. The S ea C loud S pirit combines traditional windjammer experience with the feel-good requirements of the 21st century. In a time when everything seems to be getting more hectic, faster and more digital, traditionally hand-sailed ships stand for pure deceleration and relaxation. The new concept aboard the S ea C loud S pirit : • Even more comfort: out of the 69 cabins from the Owner suite to the Superior outside cabin, almost half have balconies or windows that can be opened. • Thanks to the spacious wellness area, fitness with sea view and the spacious sun deck with sun loungers, you will not only enjoy the freedom under sails. • A bistro on the lido deck as an evening alternative to “fine dining” in the restaurant offers more room for individuality. • The largest sail area of the fleet with 4.100 m2/44,100 sq ft, promises pure sailing pleasure. Welcome aboard, Captain Gerald Schöber! As a passionate sailor and well-experienced tall ship captain we are very proud we could win Gerald Schöber for new ende- avors on Sea Cloud Spirit. “It is really something special to be the first captain on such a unique ship”, he admits. He has been on board Sea Cloud Spirit since September to accompany the final construction progress of his ship. We say: Welcome to the family, fair winds and always a hand’s width of water under the keel. 4

Precaution for operation under Covid-19 conditions: Our prevention and hygiene concept for your safety and well-being on board our windjammers We have developed a comprehensive prevention and safety concept for resuming our sailing voyages in Spring 2021. The measures comply with the highest hygienic standards with regard to Covid-19 and are based among others on the guidelines of the ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control) and the EU Healthy Gateways, and were developed in close consultation with the senior ships’ medical team. Besides organization and hygiene measures, the plan also includes intensive training for the crew. Due to the distance and hygiene rules that have to be observed for your health protection, you will face certain restrictions during your journey. Most likely these restrictions will be subject to change over the next few months. The most recent development of vaccines and medications gives well-founded reason to hope for a return to the regular ship operation in 2021. However, since the course of events over time cannot be predicted, we will continuously adapt the following prevention and hygiene concept to further developments. You can find the current status on our website www.seacloud.com. Health check and Covid-19 test obligation for guests Upon embarkation, all guests must present a Covid-19 test no more than 72 hours old, as well as a completed health questionnaire. Before embarkation on board, after every shore leave and daily on board, a contactless body temperature measurement will be taken. Embarkation is organized in small groups. The minimum distance must be observed, and a mouth-nose protection is required. Compliance with the prevention measures defined by Sea Cloud CruiSeS will be guaranteed by the terminal operators. Regular health checks of the crew Each crew member will undergo a comprehensive health check and Covid-19 test before starting an assignment. In addition, a temperature check will be performed once a day. All crew members are obliged to wear mouth-nose protection. Reliable medical care on board For the health management on board, a Health and Infection Officer is deployed in addition to the ship’s doctor. The wohle crew will intensively be trained on board in advanced prevention and hygiene measures and the early detection of Covid-19 symptoms. Should a Covid-19 suspicion arise during a cruise, the guest will be under close medical supervision until the next port of call. For this purpose, an appropriate quarantine station is maintained on board. 100% fresh air in cabins and public areas Fresh air also means clean air. Each cabin is supplied with fresh air directly from the outside. The venti- lation is designed in such a way that the exhaust air cannot reach another cabin or other areas of the ship. Public areas are also supplied with 100% fresh air, which is discharged directly to the outside. In addition, the ventilation system is equipped with appropriate filters. 6
Extensive technical hygiene equipment The ships are equipped with contactless body thermometers and Covid-19 test possibilities. The general rules of hygiene apply on board (hand hygiene, cough and sneeze etiquette, avoidance of facial contact). The number of disinfectant dispensers on board has been significantly increased so that guests and staff can disinfect their hands at all important contact points. Protective equipment such as disposable gloves and mouth-nose protection can be obtained at the reception desk upon request. Intensive cleaning/disinfection of the cabins and all public areas A very high standard of hygiene applies to our fleet. Frequently touched surfaces such as door handles and stair railings are cleaned and disinfected with increased frequency. Cabin cleaning takes place twice a day. Before the arrival of new guests, all cabins/suites and all public areas are cleaned with a state-of-the-art disinfection process. Reduced number of guests on board for distance control The number of passengers on board will be reduced to such an extent that, in compliance with the 1,5 m distance rules (1.5 meters / 5 feet or transparent partitions), all guests can be seated at the same time. This allows all guests to enjoy relaxed dining together as usual on the Sea Cloud CruiSeS windjammers. The lower number of passengers also guarantees the necessary distance in public areas. All guests must keep a distance of 1.5 meters / 5 feet. Excluded from this are persons traveling in the same cabin or belonging to a travel group. If a minimum distance of 1.5 meters / 5 feet to other trave- lers cannot be maintained, a mouth-nose protection is mandatory. Our familiar culinary finesse, no self-service The culinary quality and choice will remain untouched. There will however be no self-service in the restaurant, at the buffet or at the bar. The high number of employees will remain unchanged even with the reduced number of guests ensuring even more individual service and more resources for the imple- mentation of hygiene measures. On-board and shore program in smaller group sizes Lectures or events will take place with a smaller number of participants and in compliance with the applicable distance and hygiene rules. It will also be possible to visit the SPA and fitness area or the hairdresser’s in compliance with the rules of hygiene and distance. Shore excursions will be organized in small groups. The excursion agencies comply with the same prevention and hygiene measures that apply on board. Individual shore excursions are currently not possible.
