Sea Cloud II

Sea Cloud Cruises entered the world of luxury cruising in 1979 with the Sea Cloud, a windjammer. In 2001 the family grew with the adquisition of River Cloud II, and Sea Cloud II.

SEA CLOUD II

Sea Cloud II is a three-masted windjammer that was launched in Las Palmas in 2001. Unlike other ships in its class, the Sea Cloud II has no automation for operations such as raising sails, so these operations are performed manually. The language on board is English and German. She can carry 94 passengers at maximum capacity attended by 65 crewmembers, so it is clear that we are talking about a luxury cruise ship. The 47 outside cabins are divided into several categories:

• EXTERIOR DELUXE. The features of this category are ​​16 square meters and 6 special cabins that reach 19 square meters (located in the center). There are also two single cabins for passengers traveling alone or children traveling with their parents
• JUNIOR SUITES. They are in the Promenade Deck and are 23 square meters long.
• OWNER SUITES. Two jewels of Sea cloud II with 27 square meters and equipped with bath tube and shower. Are located in the top of the ship near the library

Every cabin is equiped with telephone, hairdryer, air conditioning, shower and TV. Decoration is spectacular, as it has a lot of wood and marble in bedrooms and bathrooms, which gives elegancy and quality to every cabin.The Sea Cloud II facilities are comfortable and sized according to the number of passengers.

JUNIOR SUITE

• RESTAURANT. The Sea Cloud II's restaurant has open seating. You can sit with whoever you want to enjoy the cuisine offered by the chef. As a nice touch of luxury,  drinks like wine and beer are included with meals, and is not house wine. Different types of wine are selected by the staff to add value to your experience. Soft drinks, water etc ... are included all day. You will also enjoy free minibar in your cabin
• LIDO BAR. If weather allows it, dinner seating is also open shift at Lido deck with tematic meals, barbecues, paella... 
• LOUNGE. A very comfortable living room with a small bar and a piano. Sea Cloud II has a pianist to entertain the passengers at the evenings after dinner
• LIBRARY. An Apple Computer is presiding the library. Internet use is not for free, but Sea Cloud II offers the passengers sending and receiving emails for free through the ships system at no extra cost.
• GYM. A small room with some equipment and sauna will keep you fit during the cruise (if you want to). The ship has a massage and beauty specialist.
• SWIM PLATFORM. When the Sea Cloud II sets anchor, a swimming platform is deployed so passengers can enjoy and swim at the sea. 
• HOSPITAL. The Sea Cloud II has a hospital and a doctor, which gives extra tranquility to the passengers.

Sea Cloud II is a luxury cruise ship much more different from what we're used to. Passengers booking a Sea Cloud Cruise will feel the luxury of a five star cruise company, but with a large dose of adventure. It is clear that the Sea Cloud II does not have large stabilizers to mitigate the days of rough seas, but it does not matter to the passengers. It is more important living Sea Cloud experience and a different vacation.

I must admit that we did not expect such a luxury ship and we are impresed with the sense of family of Sea Cloud II, where every crewmember knows every passenger by name. Such details makes the passenger feel at home during your vacation and we will try to travel with Sea Cloud II as soon as possible.
 

I must thank Julia Eble, member of Sea Cloud Cruises headquarters, who helped us to find the right moment to visit the ship, and of course the great welcome given by Sea Cloud's II cruise director Christian showing us every corner of the ship in Tenerife
