Overview

The Sea Cloud: the greatest windjammer legend of all time. 

The SEA CLOUD, our legendary windjammer, is a dream come true. This vessel is both a private home and a truly glamorous experience beneath white sails. Everything that the SEA CLOUD ever was and had can still be experienced today. Every walk around its decks will fill you with the unique charm which this great windjammer exudes. Each step is an encounter with the glamour of a bygone age. You will feel that the SEA CLOUD's charm is an authentic one, imbued with a delightful air of nostalgia and an ever-surprising timelessness. 

Legendary, beguiling, incomparable

The elegance of times gone by has been faithfully restored - be it on the bridge or in the blue lagoon, on the promenade deck or in the restaurant. All the impressive marble fireplaces, the charming teak wood benches, the elegant woods, the golden taps and the selected antiques on board the SEA CLOUD have created an atmospheric setting in which her passengers - with all their modern-day requirements and attitudes to life - can sit back and enjoy their voyage on board a majestic windjammer.

The SEA CLOUD's radiance gives every cruise a very special charm and makes special occasions all the more unique. Be it for your birthday, anniversary or wedding - this ship, once a private yacht, can also be reserved for just you and your guests.

Whether booked as an exclusive yacht charter or shared by up to 64 cruise passengers, the SEA CLOUD remains a true legend of the sea, bewitching all those who experience her. She is the most beautiful windjammer of all time and is for many the true highlight of their journey.

Onboard

The SEA CLOUD:
a sailing ship with the charm of eternal youth.

As if by magic, the unique charm of the SEA CLOUD can entice many different kinds of people. Anyone on board will feel that they are in the right place, a place that fulfils their expectations, dreams and wishes. If you are looking for something special, you are sure to find it on board this sailing ship - all day, every day and everywhere on board.

The lounge and the restaurant
Selected picture books, high-quality literature, popular board games and a writing desk with a laptop can all be found in the cosy lounge on the promenade deck. Next door is the oak-panelled restaurant, used as a salon by the SEA CLOUD's first owners. Just like on a private yacht, you can sit down to dine at the beautiful long tables and, of course, you can choose any place to sit as there are no fixed places.

The lido and promenade deck
If the weather is fine, you might like to sit on the lido deck at lunch time. The tasty snacks served at the buffet in the open air will both whet and satisfy your appetite. At certain times, our onboard pianist will provide pleasant background music to your conversations. The lido bar is a cosy place to wind down the evening. Quite befitting for any traditional sailing ship, the atmosphere can also get rather vibrant when the Crew Shanty Choir makes an appearance.

Not only is the promenade deck a quick route from one end of the ship to the other; in good weather, you will also find some very tasty refreshments there. The coffee, tea and light snacks are ideal for those who rise early, but also to provide sustenance in the afternoon between meals. Just imagine a freshly made waffle with ice cream under the white sails of a ship - that really is pure paradise!

On-board life
On board the SEA CLOUD there are many wonderful spots where you can relax and unwind: from countless deckchairs, to elegant mahogany benches and the blue lagoon, where you can gaze up at the masts. Watching the movement of the sails and all the traditional tasks associated with a majestic sailing ship is one of the most wonderful activities on the high seas. The traditional rules of cruise travel might be thrown overboard; on board the SEA CLOUD you can travel the way you prefer. If you like, you can jog around the outer promenade deck or borrow snorkelling equipment for a trip ashore. The SEA CLOUD's onboard zodiac boats do not just take you ashore and back but are also used to tow "Fun Island", our inflatable water sled. And when conditions are calm enough, the gangway becomes a direct access point for the most beautiful swimming pool in the world: the sea.

The bridge
Excellent views of the sea and the 30 majestic sails can of course be enjoyed from the SEA CLOUD's bridge, where a range of historic nautical instruments almost conceal the modern technology. Operational circumstances permitting, the officers on the bridge will also be happy to answer questions about their sailing ship.

Double Bed Cabins 30 & 31
Category Code(s)
KAT1
Description Like all the cabins on the captain’s and lidodeck, these two rooms were only built in the late 1970’s and offer a great deal of comfort. Their outstanding feature is the panoramic windows placed over the corners, which make the overall impression bright and friendly.
Outside Cabins 32-37
Category Code(s)
KAT2
Description Even though the cabins on the captain’s and lidodeck were harmoniously integrated into the SEA CLOUD only later, they naturally follow the standards set in the original area. Their tasteful interior design is a contemporary interpretation of the interior designed by Marjorie Merriweather in the 1930s. The comfortable interior corresponds with the wonderful view of the wide sea.
Outside Cabins 18-25
Category Code(s)
KAT3
Description These comfortable cabins have a special maritime charm due to their location between the manoeuvring stations for hoisting and lowering the sails. The deckhouse, which was added during the renovation of the SEA CLOUD, is an oasis of peace, but due to its location on the promenade deck, the cabins are also only one step away from the restaurant and lounge in the superstructure amidships.
Outside Cabins 28 and 29
Category Code(s)
KAT4
Description In addition to the comfort and luxury that characterize the SEA CLOUD, both cabins offer a special feature: the most charming place on the tall ship – the so-called Blue Lagoon – can be reached directly from them. The semi-circular, blue cushions that give the ship its name are the traditional place on board for relaxing sunbathing or – at night – for a dreamy view of the impressive starry sky above the ocean.
Upper/Lower Bed Cabins 14-17
Category Code(s)
KAT5
Description These cabins are the right place for sailing enthusiasts. In Marjorie’s time, the officers of the SEA CLOUD were accommodated here. Their furnishings are correspondingly nautical. The clou: The doors of the cabins below the bridge deck lead directly to the promenade deck, so that at night you can sleep in the perfect maritime ambience with open doors and fresh air.
Luxury Owner's Cabin 1
Category Code(s)
KATA
Description Probably the most legendary ship's cabin ever. Marjorie has furnished the luxury suite herself. Whenever she traveled with the SEA CLOUD, these rooms were her home. Fireplace and bathroom in white Carrara marble, gold-plated swan necks as fittings, valuable Louis Philippe chairs, a large bed of varnish in old white decorated with gold, elaborate ceiling ornaments and a room-high dressing mirror: the furnishings she selected with exquisite taste reflect the successful American entrepreneur’s desire to spend time on her private yacht in a luxurious ambience.
Luxury Owner's Cabin 2
Category Code(s)
KATA
Description In addition to her exquisite taste, Marjorie’s attention to detail is evident in the interior of the owner’s cabins. This is also reflected in the suite of her first husband Edward Hutton, who gave her the unique SEA CLOUD as a gift. The maple wood panelling gives the cabin a feeling of warmth and solidity; the light coffered ceiling gives the room a certain lightness. Special highlight: Edward Hutton’s beautiful “Bureau Bookcase” secretary with mirrored glass.
De Luxe Original Cabin 5

De Luxe Original Cabin 7
Category Code(s)
KATB
Description As the first owner, Marjorie also furnished the SEA CLOUD with so much love for detail because she wanted to offer her daughter Dina Merrill a wonderful and safe home on board.

The unusual floor plan with the sloping fireplace makes the cabin appear even larger.
De Luxe Original Cabin 6
Category Code(s)
KATB

De Luxe Original Cabin 8
Category Code(s)

De Luxe Original Cabin 4
Category Code(s)
KATB
Description During the construction period of the SEA CLOUD in Kiel and later, when Marjorie already lived on board, she collected precious antiques all over the world. The original cabin No. 4 is one of the many examples of how skillfully she integrated the valuable pieces into the interior of her private yacht.
De Luxe Outside Cabin 9 and 10
Category Code(s)
KATC
Description Cabins 9 and 10 are located in the original area on the main deck. Both rooms were redesigned into large De-Luxe outside cabins.
