Sea Cloud Spirit On Course for Islands and Central America

Sea Cloud voyages devote one full day to strictly sailing the region on each itinerary.
 
 

Sea Cloud Cruises will deploy its newest ship, Sea Cloud Spirit, to the Caribbean, Central America and the Canary Islands during winter 2023 and spring 2024.

Making her transatlantic crossing from Gran Canaria to Sint Maarten over 16 nights beginning Nov. 11, the sailing yacht will spend the winter season in the Caribbean including small ports and idyllic bays including Bequia, Union Island and Iles des Saintes. Voyages also feature transits of the Panama Canal, exploring Costa Rica, Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and more before returning to Europe and Gran Canaria.

“We look forward to the Sea Cloud Spirit soon arriving in St. Maarten to welcome her guests for the winter sailing season, exploring these treasured regions with masterfully crafted itineraries following the trade winds and away from the busy cruise routes,” said Mirell Reyes, president of Sea Cloud Cruises in a media announcement.

Sea Cloud Spirit’s 28 sails will be traditionally hoisted by hand throughout the voyage.
