Dining on deck
Under sail
in magnificent style
We are delighted to once again have chartered the majestic Sea Cloud II for a range of voyages. Whilst there are many large
sailing ships offering passages around the world there are few, if any, that can compare in terms of luxury to Sea Cloud II.
Standing on the dock and looking up at the vessel you cannot help but be impressed by her sheer majesty. Walk up the
gangway and on to the deck and it is even more impressive. Below deck is a sumptuous world of traditional maritime
influences with 21st century luxuries and well-appointed cabins and public areas create a restful atmosphere totally in
keeping with the overall grandeur of the vessel.
Planning an itinerary for a sailing ship is somewhat different to conventional the most natural of ways allows us to experience the thrill of sailing and a

Launched in 2001, Sea Cloud II is a stunning vessel, built along traditional lines, but offering deluxe accommodation. She
combines the timeless elegance of sailing ships of the past with the highest safety standards and the luxurious comfort of
modern cruise ships. The 32,150 square feet of sails are set by hand which is a truly magical sight; she really is the most
exquisite of vessels.

Your Space
No expense has been spared to create a sympathetic ambience in both
the accommodation and public areas and this is reflected throughout
the vessel. Public areas include an elegant lounge, library, fitness centre,
boutique, lido bar and hospital. The single sitting dining room is airy and
modern and the quality of the cuisine and service will be to the highest
of standards, as one would expect on a Sea Cloud II cruise. The Lounge
is located mid-ship on the Lido Deck offering comfortable seating areas.
The vessel’s magnificent Steinway is located here and will be played for
your enjoyment by an accomplished pianist. Here you will enjoy interesting
lectures and presentations, or perhaps enjoy a drink from the bar. There is
also a library onboard where you can relax, write postcards, play a board
game, find a film to watch in your cabin, send emails from the laptop or just
enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Relax on the Lido deck and experience
