Description

London’s artful side
From da Vinci to video installations: Visiting London’s museums is like a journey through the different art
epochs. The best starting point is the National Gallery with some 2,300 works of art from medieval times to the 20th century. Next on the list: The Royal Academy of Arts, the renowned artists’ association that has been fostering painting, sculpture and architecture since 1768.

Antwerp: past meets future
A giant diamond, made of steel and glass, and sitting on top of a historic building – the “Port House” is the
perfect symbol for Antwerp and its exciting combination of the old and the new. While visiting the Grote Markt or the Rubens House is like stepping back in time into the Flemish Renaissance, many new museums, for instance the Diamond Museum, offer very modern insights.

Rotterdam: old masters, innovative architecture
After the war, the much destroyed Rotterdam made a virtue out of necessity and bravely entered new terrain with regard to its architecture. Whether yellow cube houses or a market hall the size of an aircraft hangar – today, numerous unusual buildings dot the city and provoke in the positive sense. Art aficionados will marvel at the Bojimans Van Beuningen Museum where works of art from Rembrandt to Picasso and Rothko are to be found.

Overview
Vessel Type: Tall Ship (Sailing) Length: 105 metres Passenger Capacity: 96 Built: 2001 Launched in 2001, Sea Cloud II is a stunning vessel, built along traditional lines, but offering deluxe accommodation. She combines timeless elegance of sailing ships of the past with the highest safety standards and the luxurious comfort of modern cruise ships. Just like her legendary sister ship Sea Cloud, the 29,600 square feet of sails is set by hand which is a truly magical sight. Built to accommodate 96 passengers in five star luxury, she offers a range of beautifully appointed suites and cabins which are furnished with great style. All accommodations have outside views and the bathrooms, in light marble, are unusually spacious and extremely comfortable. The finest, carefully chosen fabrics, combined with leather, rattan and other materials, brass and gold, precious woods and marble together create an impressive ensemble. No expense has been spared to create a sympathetic ambience in both the accommodations and public areas and this is reflected throughout the vessel. Public areas include an elegant lounge, library, fitness centre, boutique, lido bar and hospital. The single sitting dining room is airy and modern and the quality of the cuisine and service will be to the highest of standards, as one would expect on a Sea Cloud cruise. Relax on the Lido deck and experience the natural grandeur of travelling under sail, rekindling memories of a bygone age. Please note deck and suite plans are indicative only and may vary slightly.
