The 94-guest SEA CLOUD II is a three-masted yacht and is undoubtedly among the most unique small cruise ships in the world. Combining the flair of full-rigged classic yachts with superbly elegant accommodations and common spaces of a private yacht, the ships offer a rare and sustainable cruising experience. There are many distinctive characteristics that set Sea Cloud II apart, including the fact that the sails are hoisted by hand in harmony with nature’s rhythm, the time-honored tradition of authentic sailing ships. To see the sailors scale upwards of 190 feet into the shrouds, release the heavy sails, then vigorously tighten the ropes down on deck, is an awe-inspiring experience. All staterooms and suites face outside, are spacious, and decorated in a refined style. Wood-paneled lounges remind guests of an elegant nautical tradition of the past, while the light-filled restaurant accommodates all guests in one sitting and serves fine classic cuisine, accented by regional specialties and wines. Other facilities include a fitness room with panoramic ocean views, a spa, and a swim platform. There is ample deck space to relax, unwind and enjoy the sea views. The open bridge policy of Sea Cloud II offers guests a rare opportunity to stand with the captain or officers, watching the artistry of traditional sailing in motion.

Depart the United States on a scheduled flight to Las Palmas, Gran Canaria (LPA).
Upon arrival, transfer to Las Palmas and the SEA CLOUD II. With its black volcano almost 6,561 feet high and endless white beaches along the coastline, the island of Gran Canaria displays a huge variety of landscapes. It’s a “continent in miniature” with rugged rock formations, dense pine forests, dry valleys and reservoirs inland, lush vegetation in the north, shimmering dune landscapes in the south and weirdly shaped cliffs in the west. Almost half the island has been registered by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve. The capital, Las Palmas, is no less colorful, with its port and history stretching back 500 years. The showpiece of this historic old town is the magnificent Santa Ana Cathedral. Sail in the evening. (D)
Climbing the rigging, untying ropes, setting sails – today is all about sailing. Time to lean back and relax in the deck chair and watch the passionate crew hoisting the sails by hand. (B,L,D)
Many people consider La Gomera to be the most wildly romantic island in the Canaries. Rugged gorges, craggy hillsides, fertile valleys and evergreen cloud forests characterize the landscape. The Garajonay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, embraces the whole central mountain area and is an unusual little spot. Ancient bay trees, heather bushes as high as trees and tall ferns form a cloud forest where moss hangs from the trees and clings to gnarled branches – a truly mystical natural wonder that has existed for millions of years. (B,L,D)
The combination of small size and great height make the lush green volcanic island of La Palma one of the steepest islands on earth. The white houses in the island’s capital shine from wooded mountain slopes and the old town center of Santa Cruz is covered by a preservation order - principally because of its Canarian houses with their artistically decorated wooden balconies. The Caldera de Taburiente towers above the north of the island. With a diameter of 5.6 miles and surrounded by crater walls more than 6,561 feet high, it is one of the world’s largest volcanic craters. Behind the caldera is the cloud forest of Los Tilos. The Biosphere Reserve was extended by UNESCO to cover the whole island of La Palma. (B,L,D)
Volcanic activity has created a wildly romantic and varied natural landscape. It’s a land of black lava desert and strange rock formations with oddly shaped, wind-defying juniper trees in the south, orchards, vineyards, fig and almond groves in the north, lush green meadows and pastures in the high plateaus, and perhaps the most beautiful pine forests in the archipelago. El Hierro, the smallest and newest of the Canary Islands, is almost completely edged with steeply sloping, rugged cliffs and the spray from the surging ocean. UNESCO has designated it a Biosphere Reserve. (B,L,D)
Santa Cruz is the perfect starting point if you want to discover Tenerife’s diverse mix of beach, nature, and avant-garde culture. The capital and port city in the northeast of the island is not only decked out with historic buildings but also features a lively art scene and spectacular modern architecture by Calatrava or Herzog, and De Meuron. Santa Cruz is also not far from other highlights in the north. For example, the lively colonial town of La Laguna, with its impressive mansions, or quaint Taganana in the Agana Landscape Park, which has retained the charm of an old mountain village. (B,L,D)

Packing for the Canary Islands in November is pretty easy—but the key is layers, not heavy winter gear.
On a cruise with Sea Cloud Cruises, the overall dress style is relaxed luxury—often described as "yacht casual" during the day and "elegant casual" in the evening. The atmosphere is more refined than on large mainstream cruise ships but still comfortable and unpretentious, reflecting the intimate sailing-yacht experience.
During the daytime on deck or while going on shore excursions, guests typically wear casual resort-style clothing such as polo shirts, linen or light button-down shirts, shorts, light trousers, sundresses, or casual summer dresses. Because it can be breezy at sea, bringing a light sweater or windbreaker is recommended.
Footwear is important on the ship's teak decks, so boat shoes or other non-slip shoes are ideal. Swimwear is fine around the deck areas, but guests are expected to put on a cover-up before entering indoor areas or going to lunch.
In the evenings, the dress code becomes slightly more polished and resembles smart casual or country-club attire. Men commonly wear collared shirts with slacks or chinos, sometimes with a light jacket, while women often choose a dress, skirt, or elegant trousers with a blouse. Shorts are generally not permitted at dinner.
On most voyages there is also a Captain's Dinner, which is the most formal evening of the cruise. For this occasion:
Even on this evening, however, the style remains sophisticated rather than strictly formal.
Overall, packing:
will cover most situations on board.
