It is time again for beautiful moments –

Dear Windjammer Friends,
2020 has presented us with exceptional challenges.
However, at this special time it is also obvious that our
long-standing concept of “small and fine” and “in harmony
with nature” is more up to date than ever. Traveling with the
wind, being out surrounded by fresh air, concentrating on
the essentials – all this is in keeping with the present times
and, from our perspective, will remain so.
During the last few months, we have been working intensi-
vely on the details of our restart. As before, we will
continue to pursue our strategy of “reliability and safety”
rather than “pressing on with our eyes firmly closed”, in
order to be able to guarantee not only your safety as
required but also your well-being on board.
Therefore we are delighted to present you our voyages
with S ea C loud through the World of the Greek Islands.
Together with you and hopefully a lot of tailwind, our
windjammer will be back enroute in April.
We hope to be able to run the published program without
any major restrictions. However, for the start of the season
2021 and for your safety the current Covid-19 requirements
have been taken into account. This means that all port calls
and excursions can take place as advertised according to
the current status quo. All information about our prevention
and hygiene concept can be found on pages 6-7 or on our
website under www.seacloud.com.
It's time for beautiful moments again.
Our crew is looking forward to you.

SEA CLOUD – the most beautiful windjammer legend of all times
No ship has shaped the world of sea travel as much as the S ea C loud . For 90 years, the four-masted barque has
combined the charm and atmosphere of a private yacht with the impressive experience of sailing on a traditional
windjammer. Even in its anniversary year, the large sailing yacht built in Kiel (Germany) impresses with its beauty.
Timelessly elegant and with a lot of soul
From the very first step on board, you can feel it: the
S ea C loud has a soul, is living history and keeping in
with the times at the same time. Loving care and careful
modernization have preserved the spirit that American
entrepreneur Marjorie Merriweather Post breathed into her
private yacht 90 years ago. Then as now, this is the basis
for extraordinary voyages far away from time and space.
Paradise on earth is at sea.
The unique attitude to life
The S ea C loud magically casts a spell over its guests.
From the very first moment it is clear: time plays a minor
role on this ship. Diving into the here and now – that’s what
is important. When the ship leaves the port, everyday life
ashore is left behind. From now on the wind and the course
of the sun determine the rhythm of life. This is an extra-
ordinary experience in a small seletcted circle.
Lovingly cared for
The joy of enjoyment, curiosity for new things, love of the
sea and awareness of traditions unite the people on this
unique ship. Our lovable and attentive crew members ensure
a completely relaxed atmosphere. Many of them have been
loyal to the Sea Clouds for over 30 years. And you can
sense it: as a guest on board, you will feel instantly at home.

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.
