6 Night Cruise sailing from Barcelona to Nice aboard Sea Cloud Spirit.

The SEA CLOUD SPIRIT: a windjammer that sets new standards. To build a fully rigged three-master in the 21st century might seem a little unusual. For SEA CLOUD CRUISES, this is a commitment to our true passion for sailing.

Generous, modern, exclusive.

The new SEA CLOUD SPIRIT combines a romantic windjammer atmosphere and the most modern comforts. With her clear, classic outline, she follows the role model of her two elegant windjammer sisters. New in this concept are the generous number of cabins with balconies, the extensive sun deck with sunbeds, a gym with panoramic views and the exclusive spa and wellness area. In addition to the "Fine Dining" evening menu in the restaurant, we now also offer you the option to dine on the Lido Deck at a time of your preference and enjoy our flexible bistro menu selection.

Also technically, the SEA CLOUD SPIRIT is state-of-the-art: Besides a sail area of 4,100 m2/ 44,100 sq ft, she is equipped with two economic diesel-electric drives that reliably keep her on course even during calms. Clearly, SEA CLOUD CRUISES stands for environmentally friendly eco-tourism at the highest level.

Highlights of this cruise:

Barcelona
Barcelona revels in contrasts. Many enthuse over the beautiful elegant squares and boulevards, while others look for medieval romance in the Gothic quarter. Some love the artistic treasures in the Picasso Museum or the Joan Miró Foundation, but for most people Barcelona is the capital of Catalan Art Nouveau and its glory is epitomised in the spectacular Palau de la Música. At every turn you encounter the playfully opulent creations of architect Antonio Gaudi. His exuberant fantasies are evident in the numerous houses, idiosyncratic parks and the famous uncompleted Sagrada Familia cathedral which he created.

Mahon/Menorca
Mahôn, the island's capital, has the largest natural harbour in the Mediterranean. The harbour of the former capital, Ciutadella, which translates as "tiny little town", has a picturesque setting on a fjord-like bay. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain and you will be enchanted by the narrow lanes in the old town, the majestic squares and the smart promenades. Menorca naturally has two sides - in the north is the wild mountain region of Tramuntana, with its ruggedly craggy coastline and hidden bays. In the south there are gentle hills with wide plains and seemingly endless sandy beaches. Listed as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, Majorca's little sister is considerably quieter and more traditional.

Ajaccio/Corsica
The majestic-looking little town of Ajaccio sits in a beautiful bay on the south of the island. Its Mediterranean atmosphere evokes the Côte d'Azur, but with a typically Corsican character. Napoleon Bonaparte was born in Ajaccio and the great Corsican is still present everywhere today. One of Napoleon's uncles bequeathed his art collection to the town and you can now view this in one of the museums.

St. Tropez
In the 19th century, artists discovered this picturesque fishing village on the Côte d'Azur and made it their source of inspiration. They were followed by the aristocracy and moneyed classes, and around fifty years ago St Tropez gained its international reputation as a refuge for the rich and famous. You can still find them today, in elegant Port Grimaud with its luxurious yachts from all over the world; in the upmarket bars and restaurants that line the promenade; on the elegant boulevards; in high class shops; or at the sophisticated beach clubs. Even with all these distinguished guests, St Tropez has still managed to preserve its picturesque and sleepy atmosphere.

Nice
Nice lies in one of the world's most lavishly endowed natural landscapes. The sea glows azure and the mountains in the background rise picturesquely up into the sky. Castle Hill gives you a fantastic view over the rambling old town - a labyrinth of alleyways with Baroque churches, pastel-coloured houses and red-tiled roofs. The Promenade des Anglais, a sophisticated, five-kilometre-(3 miles)long walkway along the magnificent Baie des Anges and its long beach, lies at the heart of the elegant new town, with its splendid palaces and aristocratic hotels in the Belle-Époque and Art Deco styles.
