Sea Cloud Cruises has announced that its flagship vessel, Sea Cloud, will undergo a major renovation after completing its 2025 European season. The 64-guest windjammer, approaching its 95th anniversary, will sail in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Canary Islands and the Atlantic before entering dry dock.
Throughout the 2025 season, Sea Cloud and its sister ships, Sea Cloud II and Sea Cloud Spirit, will host special events both onboard and ashore to commemorate the vessel's history.
"The 2025 season promises to be one of special celebration as our beloved Sea Cloud sails to her guests' most beloved Caribbean and European ports, before a well-earned rest and refurbishment,” said Mirell Reyes, president of Sea Cloud Cruises North America.
The renovation project will be overseen by Sea Cloud Cruises’ managing director and chief technical officer Adam Pazdzioch, who has been with the company for more than 20 years. Pazdzioch previously led the 2010 refurbishment of Sea Cloud and was involved in the construction of Sea Cloud II and Sea Cloud Spirit.
Originally commissioned in 1931 by E.F. Hutton and Marjorie Merriweather Post, Sea Cloud has a rich history, including service as a weather station during World War II and various changes in ownership. The ship underwent its last major refurbishment in 2011, bringing it up to date with modern safety regulations while preserving its classic elegance.
