Sailing the Greek Isles Aboard the Sea Cloud Fleet

Skip to


Explore the beautiful Cyclades as the ancients did, sailing from isle to isle under the power of the wind. The three-masted barque Sea Cloud II offers the chance to stand on deck and watch the orchestrated frenzy of crew members climbing aloft in the rigging to handset 23 sails. Our expedition visits iconic landmarks as well as hidden gems that are largely unknown to all but locals and discerning travelers. Visit small harbors and go on guided walks to learn firsthand about the history and contemporary life along these sun-drenched shores.

Highlights
