My Sailing Yacht Adventure on Sea Cloud II

Greece · About River or Ocean Cruises

I recently returned from a magical adventure through the Cyclades in Greece aboard the Sea Cloud II. Forget the crowded islands of Santorini and Mykonos.  My journey included rarely-visited gems like Patmos, Ios, Naxos, Amorgos and Syros, and I returned with experiences to last a lifetime. Think sun-drenched beaches (one accessed via Zodiac), exploring ancient monasteries, and authentic island villages. Late and overnight stays allowed us to roam the small towns, shop, and eat in local restaurants while ashore. The All-Inclusive, Yacht-Like experience included gratuities, shore excursions and drinks, in addition to fine cuisine and elegant accommodations. 

One of my favorite memories is standing on deck as the ship’s dedicated crew climbs the rigging and hand-raises billowing white sails, their orchestrated teamwork transforming wind into motion. Many of our group donned gear, allowing them to ascend to the first platform in the rigging for panoramic views, a photographer’s dream! It’s the definition of a soft adventure, blending excitement and ease with the comfort of a luxury yacht. 

Sea Cloud Cruises has 2 other ships that also sail the Caribbean in the winter and the Mediterranean in the summer. 

The original Sea Cloud, once the private yacht of Marjorie Merriweather Post and E.F. Hutton, offers guests a truly authentic slice of living history, complete with period furnishings and an unrivalled pedigree. It is currently undergoing refurbishment to offer guests an even more refined and luxurious experience, while preserving the historic interiors. 

Sea Cloud Spirit is the newest and largest, hosting a maximum of 135 guests and offering expanded amenities while preserving the yacht-like charm for which Sea Cloud Cruises is renowned.
