More about the Seacloud II
This is the "Sea Cloud II"
Since its launch in 2001, the "Sea Cloud II" has revolutionised the world of luxury cruises under sail. With an impressive overall length of 117 metres and 23 sails covering an area of around 3,000 square metres, this ship embodies the perfect symbiosis of traditional sailing and modern shipbuilding technology. It is remarkable that the "Sea Cloud II", designed as a three-masted barque, achieves almost the same sailing characteristics as a traditional four-masted barque with only two square-rigged and one gaff-rigged mast.
Sailing experience and comfort
The "Sea Cloud II" offers its passengers an authentic sailing experience without having to sacrifice the comfort of a luxury cruise. The generous sail area of 3,000 square metres makes it possible to sail efficiently even in moderate wind conditions. The combination of two square-rigged and one gaff-rigged mast allows the sail configuration to be flexibly adapted to different weather conditions and courses. Passengers can experience the fascination of traditional sailing at first hand, while at the same time benefiting from the amenities of a modern cruise ship.
