Fall under the spell of the Caribbean trade winds aboard Sea Cloud

Return to the romantic era of tall ships on an expedition among the idyllic islands of the Caribbean—a place perfectly suited to the aesthetic beauty of sailing aboard an authentic square-rigger. Our iconic ship Sea Cloud will be a movable feast and your base for exploring some of the Caribbean’s gems and lesser-known sites. This historic sailing yacht, a souvenir of a golden age of sailing in the 1930s, is full of the glamour and the sophistication of her era. From the moment you step aboard you’ll feel the soul of the ship—as surely as you’ll feel the trade winds filling her sails.

Expedition Highlights

Discover the enchanting harmony of wind and sail. With reliable 10- to 15-knot trade winds at your back, you’ll trace the history of the islands from native settlers to colonial expansion to modern life. An integral part of what makes them so interesting is how each has settled in with some French, Spanish, and Creole mix of its own. On islands that still belong to France you’ll find everyone speaking French and shops accepting only the euro. Hike the islands and swim and snorkel the Caribbean’s colorful reefs.

  • Go aboard a historic hand-sailed, four-masted square-rigger in a region perfect for a sailing adventure

  • Snorkel the Caribbean’s colorful reefs with your naturalist to observe wildlife and learn about the ecosystem

  • Seek natural color on land too—hiking the “nature” island of Dominica and searching for endemic parrots in the highlands

  • Hike to old forts and cannon placements and hear the stories of pirates and rum—glimpse a storied past through the window of time

  • "Liming" is the Caribbean word for hanging out, relaxing with friends at a bar, restaurant, or café—and you’ll have ample time for true Caribbean “liming” on the deck of Sea Cloud or under the shade of a beach palm

There’s nothing sacrificed by having this traditional relationship to sailing. This is the height of luxury—and the height of luxury these days in many ways could be the ability to get away from it all.
