Sea Cloud

The SY Sea Cloud is a four-masted, 30-sail tall ship, still at work on the open seas. She was originally commissioned by the tycoon E.F.Hutton for his wife, the heiress Majorie Merriweather Post, in the late 1920s. At the time, and even today, she is one of the finest and most opulent sailing ships in the world.

The Huttons set out to create an incomparably luxurious vessel and succeeded beyond imagination. Accustomed to the very finest things in life, Majorie Merriweather Post undertook the interior design of the ship with a relish that resulted in the most sumptuous of fittings with interiors panelled in carved oak, fitted with Italian marble and elegantly furnished with antiques. Parquet floors shine and burnished brass still glows.

One of the largest sailing ships in the world, the Sea Cloud is 360 feet in length.

Her masts reach a height equivalent to that of a 20-storey building and 32,000 square feet of canvas unfurl to create one of the most magical marine sights imaginable. When the wind is unfavourable the Sea Cloud can rely on her engines to keep to the sailing schedule. Sailing with her today is as splendid and thrilling as it was 76 years ago when she was first launched. You will sail with just 60 fellow guests and once under way, Sea Cloud provides an experience no conventional cruise ship can possibly emulate.

For 2012/2013 SY Sea Cloud will be sailing the Caribbean, visiting islands of natural beauty and voyaging through the Panama Canal.
