Overview
Vessel Type: Three-mast full-rigged ship Length: 138 meters Passenger Capacity: 136 Built: 2021 Building a three-mast full-rigged ship with traditional rigging in the 21st century may seem a little unusual.

With her clear, classic line she follows the example of her elegant windjammer sisters, but goes completely new ways. An entire deck with balcony cabins, an exclusive wellness and SPA area, a fitness room with sea view, a bistro on deck as an evening alternative to “fine dining” in the restaurant – the youngest member of the SEA CLOUD family offers plenty of room for individuality in addition to genuine windjammer romance. The SEA CLOUD SPIRIT combines traditional windjammer experience with 21st century comfort with up to 136 passengers. Cabins: 69 outside cabins (22 junior and 3 owner suites with balconies) and 7 de luxe lido outside cabins with panoramic windows that can be opened Cabin equipment: Bathrobes, hair dryer, telephone, adjustable A/C, private safe, minibar, coffee machine, TV with entertainment system, WI-FI, exclusive cosmetics, dressing table, bureau Public areas: Restaurant (180° panoramic view) with free seating and one sitting, lido Bar and bistro, lounge with Steinway grand piano, library with comfortable sitting area, sun deck with sunbeds and shower, boutique, hospital, WI-FI Fitness, wellness & spa: Generous wellness and spa area with two treatment rooms, Finnish sauna, steam bath, relaxation room, multi-sensory shower as well as various massages, beauty parlour and hairdressing salon, fitness area with ocean view and the latest cardio equipment, swim platform, watersports equipment, 4 zodiacs

Itinerary



Day 1 - DAY 1 Porto (Leixões)/Portugal
Porto considers itself the country's secret capital. The narrow lanes of the historic old town "Ribeira", a UNESCO World Heritage Site, extend in terraces up the slope overlooking the Douro. The former working class district has blossomed into a beautifully restored trendy neighbourhood. A student of Gustave Eiffel created the bold design for the bridge, which stretches over the river in a wide arc and links the Ribeira with Vila Nova da Geia and its 50 port wineries that lie on the other side. The best way to reach the incredible Douro Valley and the countryside of the Alto Douro wine region, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is by river.

Climbing the rigging, untying ropes, setting sails – today is all about sailing. Time to lean back and relax in the deck chair and watch the passionate crew hoisting the sails by hand.
Day 4 - DAY 4 Day beneath full sails
Spend the day sunbathing, enjoy the fresh wind breeze, and relax into the day!
Day 5 - DAY 5 Day beneath full sails
Just enjoy the perfect sailing conditions under the trade wind with fitness, cosmetics, massage or with a good book in a teak chair.
Day 6 - DAY 6 Ponta Delgada/São Miguel/Azores
Arrival 02.00 pmThe lively capital of São Miguel receives its guests at the trefoil-shaped city gate and invites them in on mosaic-like cobbled pavements through narrow lanes leading to whitewashed houses with black facade decoration made from basalt. The historic old city of Ponta Delgada is covered by a preservation order. Two large lakes are picturesquely set in the crater of Sete Cidades – the sapphire blue Lagoa Azul and the emerald green Lagoa Verde. At the edge of the crater the view widens out and exposes a spectacular panorama. On one side ebony sand and by the azure Atlantic, on the other side turquoise crater lakes amidst green rolling hills and blue flowering hydrangea bushes.
