Languages on board:
Restaurant:
The languages used on board are English and German. Daily programs, menus and announcements will be available in both languages. Depending on the group, we always endeavor to organize English-speaking tour guides for our shore excursions.
On our yachts, you will eat in one sitting with a free choice of table seating. Meal times are printed on the daily on-board program. In addition, the SEA CLOUD SPIRIT provides a bistro on the lido deck.
Smoking: Laundry: Our washing and ironing service is provided at an additional charge and carried out overnight. For guests staying in cat. A-C cabins (SEA CLOUD) or cat. A+B cabins (SEA CLOUD II and SEA CLOUD SPIRIT), this service is provided free of charge.
Smoking is permitted only on the outer decks outside of meal times. We kindly request that smokers take the comfort of other passengers into consideration. Smoking is prohibited on the blue lagoon deck and covered areas of the spanker and lido deck as well as on the sun deck and balconies (SEA CLOUD SPIRIT) at all times.
Medical advice:
Tipping:
All three yachts have on-board hospitals managed by the ship’s doctor, who is available at any time in the event of an emergency. SEA CLOUD and SEA CLOUD II are not equipped with lifts/elevators so that guests have to use the stairs. The SEA CLOUD SPIRIT features an elevator. Embarkation and debarkation is via the on-board gangway and is not always level; depending on the tide, access might be steep. Disembarking with the on-board tenders or zodiacs is also via the gangway. Before embarking on one of our voyages, you should therefore be positive that you are in good physical health. If you are unsure whether you will be able to manage the conditions on board, please contact us. Specific care must be agreed upon in advance.
Tips are already included in the price of the trip.
On-board program: Of course, sailing maneuvers and seafaring skills take center stage on board a true windjammer. As of late, you can join in yourself when the sails are hoisted, for example work the clew lines and buntlines when striking the sails or coil the rope ends when clearing the deck. On selected cruises, experts on special topics are on board. Also artists, such as young talents from the Steinway Prizewinner Concert Network, complement the on-board program on selected journeys. At the lido bar, a pianist entertains during the early-evening cocktail hour and also accompanies the after-dinner drinks.
Watersports equipment: On board, you will have access to snorkeling equipment – enough for all guests and available in various sizes. The gangway (SEA CLOUD) or the swim platform (SEA CLOUD II and SEA CLOUD SPIRIT) offer guests direct access to the sea. The ship’s management team will decide where and when swimming stops will take place; subject to weather conditions and approval from the appropriate authorities. Furthermore, we offer stand-up paddle boards when going ashore on a beach, as well as a towable tube from the gangway.
Wellness and spa: For your own personal comfort, we provide a range of spa services on board the SEA CLOUD II; the SEA CLOUD SPIRIT even features a generous spa and wellness area. All treatments are available at an extra charge.
All prices (see insert) for services offered in this catalogue are current as of June 2021. Prices are subject to change.
Pregnancy and children on board: For safety reasons and due to the limited medical care on board, it is not possible for expectant mothers from their 24th week of pregnancy onward as well as for children under 12 months of age to travel on one of the SEA CLOUDs. Children between the ages of 1 and 18 travel free of charge in their parents’ cabin. Accommodation in a separate cabin is only possible in agreement with the shipping company. In this case, children pay 65% of the advertised travel price.
EU regulation: In accordance with the European regulation concerning the liability of carriers of passengers by sea in the event of accidents, we are under obligation to notify passengers of their rights in the event of an accident at sea.
