LESS IS MORE

At a time when many people are returning to what really counts in life, the true value of windjammers is once again becoming apparent, something which SEA CLOUD CRUISES has appreciated for many years. The rhythm of the wind and waves determines the rhythm and direction of life on board. Under a full set of sails, the values of classic seamanship are in the foreground and people are very much at the center of everything that happens on board. In the cosy atmosphere of a private yacht, friendships develop and grow. This is travel in the original sense. On every trip with the SEA CLOUD, the SEA CLOUD II and also with the SEA CLOUD SPIRIT, the journey itself becomes the goal and time a secondary consideration.

In harmony with nature

SAILING CRUISES

For more than 40 years now, SEA CLOUD CRUISES has nurtured the concept of gentle tourism. Instead of fighting the sea with engine power, we use the wind whenever possible to get where we need to be – and thus prove that unique experiences and a healthy regard for the environment are not mutually exclusive. As often as we can, we sail. For this, the captain may have to change the route from time to time, if the weather conditions demand it.

Small ships mean more opportunities

Due to their small size and manoeuvrability, the SEA CLOUD ships can sail off the beaten tourist tracks. One thing is always in the center our minds: to treat other cultures with respect. Our trips offer a balanced mixture of a real sailing experience and exciting discoveries ashore. Our advantage as a “private yacht”: in addition to well-known and popular destinations, we mainly call at smaller, more individual ports, which you can also explore on your own, independently of organized shore excursions.

Sailing experience

SETTING SAILS BY HAND

Sailing passion with a tradition: on board the SEA CLOUDs, the sails are still traditionally set by hand. It is always a spectacular moment when the sailors climb the rigging, loosen the heavy cloth and then haul the lines in from the deck. Nothing happens at the push of a button: almost a full hour passes before all sails can catch the wind.

The Sea, the wind and endless horizons

Taste the sea air, hear the sound of the waves and feel the wind filling the up 4,100 m² / 44,100 sq ft of sail area. On the SEA CLOUD ships you can always be outside and close to the elements as so much on board takes place in the fresh air. The sea is always within reach here – and not a dozen decks away.

The atmosphere

THE FLAIR OF A PRIVATE YACHT

With their endearing manner and attention to service, the entire crew ensures a completely relaxed atmosphere on board. In a small circle of guests you can enjoy the marvellous feeling of being on a private yacht. Arrive, switch off, enjoy: Our windjammers are quiet oases in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Here you will find pure deceleration – you can just let yourself drift. Whether in the early morning at the deck railing or in the evening at the bar – you will find it easy to strike up conversations with like-minded sailing fans from all over the world. The common experience on board connects. After just a few days under sail, you’ll feel less like a guest and like a good friend and part of the SEA CLOUD family.

TASTEFUL OUTDOOR CABINS

Elegant and spacious: all SEA CLOUD cabins offer a view of the sea, even from your own private balcony on the SEA CLOUD SPIRIT. Thanks to many small details – from the champagne as a welcome drink to the daily bedtime snacks – guests immediately feel at home. The ambience on board is classically maritime. Elegant, spacious teak decks, comfortable deckchairs and fine woods radiate both warmth and cosiness.
