The metropolis in the Sunshine State is the cosmopolitan hotspot of Florida: lively and full of contrasts, with glittering high-rise facades, glamorous shopping miles and the lively Cuban lifestyle of Little Havana. Even if many activities take place on the wide beaches because of the fantastic weather, Miami is definitely a creative art city with countless galleries and museums. The legendary South Beach puts architecture on display with Art Deco buildings from the 1920s, whereyou can immerse yourself in Miami's pastel-colored past.
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.

With the gentle Caribbean Sea on one side and the vibrant Atlantic coast on the other, the extensive, narrow Bahamian islands combine the best of two ocean worlds. Surfers, snorkelers, and beachcombers will find their favorite spot on Eleuthera. The island offers a variety of peaceful, pink dream beaches with picturesque cliffs and a great underwater world. The Leon Levy Nature Reserve highlights the full diversity of Eleuthera's flora: You can hike through the reserve on miles of trails and admire orchids, medicinal plants, and trees.
Arrival 8:00 am
Like a necklace of 365 green gems set in white, the Exumas lie in the sapphire blue sea. As beautiful as the archipelago is, you would expect it to be completely overcrowded. However, it’s quite the opposite: Most islets are deserted because the small paradises with their lonely beaches and picturesque anchorages can only be reached by yacht. No wonder, then, that numerous celebrities have chosen the Exumas as their exclusive second home. Because of their protected reefs, the islands are a popular destination for divers and snorkelers – and those who would instead prefer pigs over fish will find plenty of grunting playmates at Big Major Cay.

Key West is a world of its own: Caribbean and American, lively and relaxed, historic and a little crazy. Here, the clocks and the people tick a little differently. Artists, sailors and treasure hunters have found a fun-loving home in this multicultural island town. Not far from the pier, a thick stone buoy marks the southernmost point of the U.S mainland – it's only 90 miles to Cuba. The historic old town of Key West is small, but worth seeing. Wooden houses gleam in pastel shades, an old lighthouse towers proudly in the sky, and Hemingway’s house is hidden behind green palms – a museum where some 50 cats live.

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.
