Setting sail from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Said to have the world's most perfect climate, cosmopolitan Las Palmas is the capital of Gran Canaria and the largest city in the Canary Islands. The charming old quarter, La Vegueta, is where you'll find the city's most interesting colonial architecture, while beach fans should head for lovely Playa de las Canteras.

Arriving in Philipsburg
Philipsburg is the gateway to an intriguing little Caribbean island with a dual personality: the Dutch side, St. Maarten, is the livelier of the two, with shopping malls, casinos and more of a nightlife scene, while French-speaking St. Martin is a more refined (and more expensive) affair, with a laid-back, continental air and a host of exclusive resorts and restaurants. Travelling between the two halves of the island is hassle-free, and both sides boast beautiful beaches, friendly locals and pleasant little towns and villages.
There are some amazing hikes on the island, so if you feel up to it, hire a guide to take you on one of the trails.
Your home from home
Introduced to accompany the original Sea Cloud, this three-masted barque enjoys the amenities of a modern cruise ship whilst remaining a quintessential windjammer.
What we love
A true sailing ship, Sea Cloud II is imbued with all of the tradition of the ship that inspired her, the original Sea Cloud. Suites and cabins have the feel of a traditional country home, while on deck you can relax and watch the crew set sail, a wonderful spectacle that is much more than just a show.
