Sea Cloud Cruises
Sea Cloud Cruises is an ultra-luxury line with two sailing vessels: the Sea Cloud, a four-masted barque that was built in 1931 for financier E.F. Hutton and his wife, the cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post; and the Sea Cloud II, a modern square-rigger in the classic windjammer tradition. Both vessels are true sailing ships with manually set rigging. In 2009, the European season for Sea Cloud begins in early May (with a roundtrip cruise from Nice) and concludes with a repositioning cruise from the Canaries to the Caribbean in November. Sea Cloud II also has a May to November season, with itineraries in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe. Sea Cloud Cruises also operates two river vessels, the River Cloud and River Cloud II. The company is based in Hamburg, Germany and has an office in the United States, where it has attracted a following among wealthy sailing enthusiasts. (A majority of the company's passengers are American, and service staff are fluent in English.) Cruise line's Web site:
