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 our true passion for sailing. The Sea Cloud Spirit combines a romantic windjammer atmosphere and the most modern comforts. With her clear, classic outline, she follows the role model of her two elegant windjammer sisters. New in this concept are the generous number of cabins with balconies, the extensive sun deck with sunbeds, a gym with panoramic views and the exclusive spa and wellness area. In addition to the “FineDining” evening menu in the restaurant, we now also offer you the option to dine on the Lido Deck at a time of your preference and enjoy our flexible Bistro menu selection. Also technically, the Sea Cloud Spirit is state-of-the-art: Besides a sail area of 4,100 m244,100 sq ft, she is equipped with two economic diesel-electric drives that reliably keep her on course even during calms. Clearly, Sea Cloud Cruises stands for environmentally friendly eco-tourism at the highest level.
Even more comfort: of the 69 cabins from the owner suite to the superior outside cabin, almost half have balconies or windows to open.
Cabin equipment: Bathrobes, hair dryer, telephone, adjustable A/C, private safe, minibar, coffee machine, TV with entertainment system, WI-FI, exclusive cosmetics, dressing table, and bureau.
Sea Cloud Spirit's meals are served in the Restaurant in single seatings. They focus on local and continental cuisine and feature wines that compliment the dishes beautifully.
Spacious decks, a generous wellness and SPA area, fitness with sea view and much more: on board the SEA CLOUD SPIRIT, one does not only enjoy the freedom under sails.
Public areas: Restaurant (180° panoramic view) with free seating and one sitting, lido bar and bistro, lounge with Steinway grand piano, library with comfortable sitting area, sun deck with sunbeds and shower, boutique, hospital, WI-FI.
Generous wellness and spa area with two treatment rooms, Finnish sauna, steam bath, relaxation room, multi-sensory shower as well as various massages, beauty parlour and hairdressing salon, fitness area with ocean view and the latest cardio equipment.
Our journeys offer an ideal balance between a true sailing experience and enriching discoveries on land. Particularly in smaller destinations where large cruise ships are obliged to turn around, our sailing yachts are often able to reach the heart of the most stunning spots, where being genuinely welcomed is an unforgettable experience.

Smaller ships, greater possibilities
Among the many joys of travelling smaller: a quick spin on a zodiac, enjoying the beach barbeques in secluded bays, photo safaris, pausing for a dip in the azure sea. And on selected tours, some exclusive experiences are included - a private concert, an opera house or a palace tour, a culinary visit to a special vineyard, or a front-row seat at a legendary regatta.
Dive in and be active
Whether you want to start your swim directly from the ship or explore the colorful world on the reef - water sports are even more fun under the Caribbean sun. Equipment is available for everyone: Snorkels, fins and stand-up paddles are waiting for you. If you are in the mood for even greater action, let yourself be glided across the crystal clear waters by tubing in the Caribbean.

Our tall ships SEA CLOUD, SEA CLOUD II and SEA CLOUD SPIRIT are not accessible for all people with disabilities and are not suitable for wheelchair users. Please contact our cruise consultancy for further details.
Laundry services available on board are limited to washing and ironing. There is no dry-cleaning available. The washing and ironing service is provided at an additional charge and is carried out overnight. For guests with bookings in Cat. A-C (SEA CLOUD) or Cat. A+B (SEA CLOUD II and SEA CLOUD SPIRIT), this service is free of charge. For safety reasons, passengers are not permitted to iron in their cabins.
Our yachts are equipped with Starlink. WIFI is available in the public areas on all ships and in your cabin on SEA CLOUD SPIRIT. You can use your own laptop, tablet, or smartphone to connect to the internet with the access code (WIFI) for a fee. WIFI packages can be purchased at the reception. Please note that WIFI service on board is not comparable to on land and might be interrupted at times due to lack of coverage in certain areas.
Children are of course very welcome on our ships, however there is no supervision or entertainment available for children.
We approach the people and their cultures with respect in all the regions we visit, travelling mindfully through the local environment. By doing this, we can bring our guests closer – in the truest sense of the word – to these places, and what makes each one special.
THE WINDJAMMER EXPERIENCE
For you and us alike, the key attraction of our trips is the chance to sail on the open seas.
We therefore take every opportunity to set sail and be propelled by the sheer power of the wind. That is why the captain will sometimes change the route if the weather requires it. On board our SEA CLOUD tall ships, you’ll experience the elements, as many of the day-to-day activities take place outside.
HAVING AS LITTLE IMPACT AS POSSIBLE
When we do have to start the engines, we utilise low-sulphur marine diesel on all three of our windjammers.
For us, this is standard practice. Even the SEA CLOUD, our very first windjammer, was equipped with this technology right from the start. Our motto: to minimise our impact on the environment yet still make a profound and positive impression on those around us.
A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO LIFE ON-BOARD
Avoiding plastic, reducing water usage and protecting the environment.
These are the factors that guide us in the day to day operation of our ships and our ongoing development of eco-friendly alternatives. To cite just one example, our reusable drinks bottles are not only easy on the eye, but also easy on the environment.
QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY
Our ‘small but perfectly formed’ windjammers are able to visit smaller ports, away from the busy routes frequented by large cruise liners.
With a maximum of 64 to 136 passengers, we’re always welcomed in those locations thanks to our approach of visiting local communities rather than overwhelming them. Needless to say, our itineraries also include some classic destinations, though we usually visit these only when the mega-liners have moved on.
BOOSTING THE LOCAL ECONOMY
Procuring supplies locally, working with local, smaller-scale agencies and paying fair prices.
By taking this approach, we see ourselves as a partner for our local service providers, with whom we’ve built relationships based on trust over many years. After all, we want our voyages to benefit both our guests and the communities we visit around the world.
AUTHENTIC CUISINE
Our menus are always a true reflection of the regional cuisine.
This is because our chefs enjoy buying exotic spices, local specialities and freshly caught fish from local markets to bring you – even in a culinary sense – closer to the places we visit.
