The Sea Cloud II was put into service in 2001, the younger sister of the legendary Sea Cloud, which was built 80 years ago for the American entrepreneurial married couple Edward Hutton and Marjorie Merriweather Post. On the main deck of the Sea Cloud the eight original cabins are still preserved in the luxurious style of the 1930's. Up to 64 sailing enthusiasts and recreation seekers can sail to the most beautiful destinations in Europe, Central America and the Caribbean in an informal and relaxed atmosphere. The 47 cabins on the Sea Cloud II are furnished in a similar style; on board there is also a sauna and fitness area for guests who enjoy sporting activity as well as massage treatments for relaxation. The fleet of Sea Cloud Cruises is rounded off by an elegant river yacht, the River Cloud II with 44 cabins, which traverses the most beautiful rivers in Europe between April and October.
