Local Flavor
The Mediterranean is fairly well known to sophisticated American travelers. The Adriatic? Not so much. It's time you familiarized yourself with the waters that Jacques Cousteau swore were the clearest on Earth (and he should know). Edward VII and Wallis Simpson came here to elude the paparazzi. Rulers, heirs, and artists flocked here to conduct their affairs—of state and otherwise.
Your turn now.
We tour the region aboard two extraordinary windjammers—the Sea Cloud and her sister ship, the Sea Cloud II.
What makes sailing aboard these ships so special? In a word, tradition. Though they are equipped with modern nautical technology, these windjammers are sailed by hand. Crew members work round the clock, following the captains’ orders in response to Mother Nature’s constantly shifting wind and water. Sails are hoisted, halyards set. The crew discreetly adjusts the magnificent sails overhead to catch ocean breezes just so.
Come join R. Crusoe aboard these classic and luxurious sailing vessels.
The Adriatic & the Mediterranean. 6 Cruises Aboard the Sea Cloud & the Sea Cloud II. 8 & 9 Days.
Come discover the gorgeous Adriatic and the Mediterranean seas. We head off in search of our ancestors. Welcome to Europe's best-kept secret, a place few Americans know much about. Our poking around covers portions of Croatia, Italy, Greece, Malta, even a bit of Turkey, Albania, and Montenegro.
Shhh. Promise you won't tell.
We sail in two extraordinary windjammers, the vintage Sea Cloud, built for Marjorie Merriweather Post in 1931, or her younger sister ship, the Sea Cloud II. Her 360 feet boast 32 gorgeous and ever-so-posh staterooms, each a masterpiece of interior design. A crew of 60 attends to 64 passengers (you do the math).
In the 1990s, the owners of Sea Cloud Cruises had a vision: to build a ship as excellent as the original, historic Sea Cloud. The new ship would be a true windjammer outfitted with commensurate luxury. Nothing less would do. And she would also be a square rigger to give the best possible sailing experience.
In 2001, the 384-foot Sea Cloud II was christened. She has lived up to the dreams of her creators, with all the features of her sister ship including onboard water sports equipment. Her 94 passengers are cared for by a crew of 58.
