Overview
Vessel Type: Tall Ship (Sailing) Length: 105 metres Passenger Capacity: 88 Built: 2001 Sea Cloud II is a romantic tall ship that masterfully blends the elegance of classic sailing with the comfort and convenience of modern luxury. Inspired by her legendary predecessor from the 1930s, this three-masted barque is fitted with 23 sails and is hand-sailed whenever possible, adding a sense of theatre and tradition to every voyage. With 44 cabins accommodating just 88 guests, the atmosphere aboard remains intimate and relaxed, while the interiors evoke the charm of a bygone era—polished wood, sweeping staircases, and vintage nautical style—all paired with the contemporary standards of a premium expedition ship. Guests aboard Sea Cloud II enjoy spacious decks for sun-soaked sailing days, al fresco dining on the Lido Deck, and a wellness area featuring a sauna, massage therapy, and fitness facilities. The ship’s welcoming indoor spaces include an elegant dining room and a comfortable lounge for evening Recaps hosted by expert field staff such as historians and photo instructors. Meals focus on locally sourced ingredients and regional cuisine, served in an informal yet refined setting. With an open Bridge policy and wide, accessible passageways, Sea Cloud II invites guests not just to relax, but to immerse themselves fully in the experience of life under sail.

Itinerary



Day 1 - Day 1 Philipsburg, Sint Maarten / Embark Ship
Arrive in Sint Maarten and settle into your cabin aboard the elegant Sea Cloud II. Cast off this evening, and enjoy dinner and your first Caribbean sunset as you begin your journey through the Windward and Leeward Islands. Arrival Time: Arrive before 4:00 p.m. local time. Arrival City: Philipsburg, St. Maarten 
Day 2 - Day 2 Under Sail / Saint Kitts, Saint Kitts and Nevis
Begin the morning on deck, where sailors climb aloft to raise Sea Cloud II's sails by hand. Enjoy commentary from the Captain as you learn about how a real square rigger is handled by traditional sailors. With a mountainous interior and rugged coastline of indented bays, St. Kitts is a striking island. A bit off the beaten path, the island has a very relaxed, local feel and is extremely accommodating to travelers. Spend the afternoon ashore exploring Brimstone Hill Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site, as well as Romney Manor Gardens and a Caribbean batik workshop.  
Day 3 - Day 3 Under Sail / Terre-de-Haut, Îles des Saintes, Guadeloupe
Weather permitting, enjoy another morning under billowing sails. Grab a book, attend a presentation by your onboard experts or just relax as Sea Cloud II plies the Caribbean Sea.  Distinctly French in character and culture, the shops, homes and people of Les Saintes are colorful, tasteful, and delightful. Enjoy picture-postcard views from Fort Napoléon, with its cactus garden, iguanas and maritime museum. Then stroll through French colonial Terre-de-Haut and swim from a nearby sandy beach.  
Day 4 - Day 4 Dominica
Spend the day exploring Dominica, known as "the nature island" for its spectacular beauty and many protected reserves. Hike through enchanting rainforest. Join your historian in exploring the ruins of Fort Shirley, an 18th-century British garrison, and learn about Dominica's turbulent colonial history. Go for a refreshing swim before an exclusive sunset cocktail reception at the Fort.   
Day 5 - Day 5 Under Sail / Soufrière, Saint Lucia
Arrive at St. Lucia and anchor under the island's iconic twin peaks, the Pitons, which rise dramatically above the sea. After exploring the fishing port of Soufrière, drive into St. Lucia's volcanic caldera and discover the otherworldly landscape of mud pools and sulfur springs. Visit the tropical Mamiku botanical gardens—backed by the gorgeous Diamond Falls—and delve into the grounds' complex history, which dates back to the reign of Louis XIV. Spend the afternoon sailing south. 
Day 6 - Day 6 Union Island, Saint Vincent and Grenadines
Just three miles long and one mile wide, Union Island is nicknamed "the Tahiti of the West Indies" thanks to its dramatic volcanic silhouette. Stretch your legs with a walk on Chatham Bay's beach, go for a swim in its turquoise water and admire Sea Cloud II anchored off the coast. Enjoy a BBQ lunch on the bay and indulge in some local flavors before setting sail this afternoon.  
Day 7 - Day 7 At Sea
Begin the morning on deck, where sailors climb aloft to raise Sea Cloud II's sails by hand. Enjoy a full day under sail on the Caribbean Sea. Relax with a book, photograph the ship's exquisite details and attend talks by our experts. This evening, enjoy the captain's farewell dinner to celebrate the end of a fantastic voyage.
