Sea Cloud Spirit has been delivered to Sea Cloud Cruises from the Vigo, Spain shipyard, and its maiden voyage is set for September 14, 2021, for a 10-night roundtrip Rome to Rome.
The plan is to have the ship spend the fall in the Western Mediterranean and the upcoming winter season in the Canary Islands. As cruising makes its return, the new build with a capacity of only 136 guests, is expected to become a nice alternative for younger guests looking for a smaller cruise experience.
Sea Cloud Spirit is a modern sailing ship, offering guests plenty of space under the open sky, flexible dining times (both inside and outside), balcony cabins, an exclusive and spacious spa/wellness area, and an elegant interior-design combined with a classical yacht-style feel. However, like her sister ships, she will also incorporate a traditional sailing experience, sailing the way it was always meant to be done, by hand.

The multibillion-pound global cruise industry was becalmed by Covid-19 during 2020. But with a fair wind it will be back in full sail in 2021, with gleaming new ocean-going giants, sleek expedition vessels and even classic square riggers.
Ships that were already scheduled for the new year will be joined by many delayed from 2020, so that some lines are planning to introduce two – or even three – newcomers to their fleets within months of each other.
