Sicilian Impressions and Golden October Cruise

Sea Cloud in the Mediterranean

8 Days / 7 locations in Malta and Italy

The era is almost over. This is just about your last chance to experience one of the most sublime sailing vacations ever created. The legendary Sea Cloud is expected to be retired from service at the end of the decade. There are just 32 cabins aboard Sea Cloud, the most luxurious private sailing vessel ever built. If you have ever had a dream about sailing, in the midst of pure opulence, amid the stupendous scenery of the Rivera, the Mediterranean and Aegean islands, and the Cote d'Azur, I strongly suggest that you do not hesitate to book your cabin.

The year was 1931. Wall Street tycoon E.F. Hutton was betrothed to Marjorie Merriweather Post, heiress to the Post General Foods fortune. He wanted to present her with a gift equal to their combined magnificence and spirit of adventure. And so he created the Hussar V, a four-masted barque that today sails under the proud name of Sea Cloud. Beneath the 32,000 square feet of canvas in the rigging, cabins from 100 to an astounding 400 square feet have all been restored to the sculpted finery of the Gilded Age – some, even, with fireplaces. With sixty crew members on hand to work the sails, guide the ship, and attend to the needs of just 64 passengers, the phrase "waited on hand and foot" is appropriate.
