Sea Cloud II invites you on a journey that recalls the golden age of sailing. With its impressive 23 masts, this hand-sailed ship travels across the Mediterranean and beyond, offering a timeless atmosphere and personal touches. Hosting just 94 guests, it combines warm hospitality, cultural encounters, and the romance of the open seas. Sea Cloud II’s voyages create an environment where guests connect, share stories, and enjoy a rare sailing tradition shaped by seasoned crew members who raise and adjust the sails by hand.
Life Onboard
Aboard Sea Cloud II, life unfolds in a welcoming, international atmosphere. Guests enjoy a choice of lounges and open decks where conversation flows naturally—whether talking about the day’s ports or watching the coastline pass by. Evenings might feature a pianist or a casual game, while you choose how you spend your time—perhaps with a good book, a quiet moment to yourself, or chatting with fellow travelers.
The ship’s dining experiences highlight fresh flavors and changing menus inspired by local ingredients. Meals are prepared with care and served in an elegant dining room where Champagne is offered at breakfast and wine is included at lunch and dinner. Meanwhile, lunch buffets and afternoon treats are often served on the Lido Deck, allowing you to dine in the fresh air and sunshine.
Though amenities are modest, comfort and ease guide each moment. A small fitness room and sauna are available, and the attentive staff assists with special requests.
Excursions and Activities
Sea Cloud II sails through some of the most enchanting corners of the Mediterranean and often ventures to other seas, introducing guests to lesser-known ports and seaside villages. Shore excursions are thoughtfully arranged, focusing on local history, nature, and regional traditions. Knowledgeable guides share insights, and cultural talks onboard enrich understanding before you step ashore.
On select voyages, the crew may invite guests to watch or even assist as the sails are raised. When weather and location permit, a water sports platform opens for swimming or using snorkeling gear and paddleboards. Educational lectures bring destinations to life, while time at sea offers a chance to watch the sails catch the wind, photograph the vessel’s graceful lines, or chat about navigation and maritime lore with fellow guests.
Elegant Staterooms
Guest staterooms aboard Sea Cloud II capture both nautical charm and comfort. Thoughtfully arranged furniture, fine fabrics, and enough space for your belongings create a warm, relaxing retreat. Large windows or portholes bring in natural light, and bathrooms include quality toiletries and soft towels. Each cabin offers twin beds that can be put together, complimentary nonalcoholic drinks, and a TV with multilingual channels.
For those who prefer more room, junior suites and the two Owner’s Suites provide extra space, seating areas, and decorative touches like small canopies and fireplaces that glow softly. Although there are no balconies, these cabins still feel bright and inviting, ensuring guests have a peaceful place to rest after a day of exploration and fresh sea air.
