The Weather

Greece and Turkey SEA CLOUD II's cruise, Ancient Treasures Athens to Istanbul

Greece and Turkey SEA CLOUD II's cruise, Ancient Treasures Athens to Istanbul

A pleasant Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm, sunny days and mild, comfortable nights. The weather is ideal for enjoying the scenic beauty of the islands and the clear blue waters. This climate adds to the overall enchanting experience of the cruise, making it perfect for those looking to relax and explore in a comfortable, serene environment.

Your vessel: Sea Cloud II - An elegant three masted sailing Ship

The SEA CLOUD II perfectly combines spaciousness for up to 94 passengers with the lifestyle of a private yacht.

Since 2001, the SEA CLOUD II, with a total length of 117 meters, 23 sails and about 3,000 square meters of sail area as a three-mast barque, has also enriched the fleet of blue-water cruise ships under sails.
The use of the most modern materials, from metal for both the frames and masts to new types of plastic for sails and ropes, makes it possible to achieve almost the same sailing characteristics as a four-masted barque by using larger dimensions for the masts and sails with only two masts rigged on the frame and one gaff rigged mast. Among experts, the SEA CLOUD II would only be referred to as a “barque”, because only if the ship has more than three masts does one have to additionally specify the number.
