Sea Cloud Cruises is adding immersive routes for its elegant sailing ships in 2027 and 2028 and you can save by booking now.
Modern sailing yachts Sea Cloud Spirit and Sea Cloud II are plotting in-depth itineraries across the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Northern Europe, including select voyages originating in Dublin exploring Ireland, Scotland and on to the Channel Islands and two round trips to Venice.
Additional routes explore the French Atlantic, the islands of Sardinia, Corsica and Elba as well as a course from Malta along the Amalfi Coast to the Côte d’Azur. Spring 2028 itineraries from Barbados to Antigua round out the options.
On each of the Sea Cloud tall ships, the sails are still traditionally hoisted by hand—an impressive display of seamanship as crew members climb the rigging to unfurl the canvas. The process can take nearly an hour and are daily highlights of the voyage as guests gather on deck to watch the ship come alive under full sail.
Highlights of the 2027/28 season include :
Atlantic Coast of France in May and June 2027. Cruising the French coastline with a culinary and arts focus, this itinerary from Bilbao to Honfleur for Paris includes a special event with complimentary event in Bilbao’s iconic museum.

“There is something extraordinary about experiencing iconic places aboard a genuine tall ship,” said Mirell Reyes, President and CEO of Sea Cloud Cruises North America. “Whether tracing the dramatic coastlines of Ireland and the British Isles or experiencing the Mediterranean by sail, these voyages feel especially meaningful. At the unhurried pace of yacht life, guests don’t simply visit these historic regions — they fully immerse in the journey.”
