Sea Cloud
With her brilliant white sails, rich
mahogany, and gleaming brass, the legendary SEA CLOUD has been setting the
standard for luxury sailing since 1931. Now carefully restored by a team of
master craftspeople, this four-masted beauty offers elegant quarters, fine
dining, impeccable service, and smooth passage to exotic locales in the
Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Atlantic.
The original owners of the SEA
CLOUD, heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post and financier E. F. Hutton, desired a
craft like no other. They got what they wanted in 1931, sparing no expense to
create the largest private sailing ship ever built. In the 30s and 40s, the SEA
CLOUD was host to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Sweden's King Gustavus V. Today she is yours, complete with an attentive staff
ready to take you to some of the most beautiful spots in the world. The pictures
and tables below offer you an outline of what this ship has to offer. Please be
sure to explore its destinations, deck plans, and cabins as well.
