This voyage traces a varied Atlantic route from Ireland to northern Spain, weaving together historic ports, island communities, and renowned cultural centres. Departing Dublin, the journey follows Ireland’s south coast before crossing to the Scilly Isles and the characterful harbours of southern England. French highlights include the artistic quays of Honfleur, the island landscapes of Brittany, and an extended stay along the Garonne in Bordeaux, where maritime history meets wine culture. The route then continues south to the Basque Country, concluding in Bilbao after visits to San Sebastián’s celebrated coastline and culinary scene.

The large outside cabins of this category on the lidodeck combine the comfort and personal atmosphere of a five-star hotel room with the maritime, elegant cosiness that only the SEA CLOUD SPIRIT offers.

Category B: Junior suites with balcony. From
Our junior suites are also characterised by the elegant interpretation of the SEA CLOUD's classic design and are designed with love for detail. Their generous character is further enhanced by the fact that they are flooded with light thanks to the panorama windows. Those who are still not satisfied with the view outside the window can enjoy the proximity of the sea from the spacious balcony. These cabins are a must for people who love the sea and above all fresh air. The simple elegance of the classic modern interior corresponds in gentle tension with the maritime atmosphere on board our new ship.

Category A: Suites with balcony. From
The SEA CLOUD SPIRIT carries the spirit of our legendary flagship into a new age. This is also reflected in the ambience of the suites on the panorama deck. Her noble design combines with the spaciousness of the room to create an exclusive living environment. The idea of the suite is the modern interpretation of a tradition from the time when the ship owners themselves lived on board and had the best cabins furnished for themselves. The feeling of being the centre of the endless expanse of the ocean is reinforced by the unique perspective through the large panoramic windows overlooking the sea. Experiencing the sea is meant literally here – on the large balcony, sailing becomes a special pleasure.

Sea Cloud Spirit

Building a three-mast full-rigged ship with traditional rigging in the 21st century may seem a little unusual. For SEA CLOUD CRUISES it is a commitment to true passion for sailing. With her clear, classic line she follows the example of her elegant windjammer sisters, but goes completely new ways. An entire deck with balcony cabins, an exclusive wellness and SPA area, a fitness room with sea view, a bistro on deck as an evening alternative to “fine dining” in the restaurant – the youngest member of the SEA CLOUD family offers plenty of room for individuality in addition to genuine windjammer romance.

The SEA CLOUD SPIRIT combines traditional windjammer experience with 21st century comfort with up to 136 passengers.

Cabins
Even more comfort: of the 69 cabins from the owner suite to the superior outside cabin, almost half have balconies or windows to open.

Public areas
Spacious decks, a generous wellness and SPA area, fitness with sea view and much more: on board the SEA CLOUD SPIRIT, one does not only enjoy the freedom under sails.
