Verdict

– Cruise Passenger

…Everything about this trip was amazing. The boat is an astonishment and the experience of being under sail on a 4 masted square rigger is something very special. With only 58 people on board, you get to know everyone and there’s a casual friendliness that no other cruise experience could provide. You feel as though you’re a guest on a private yacht since that’s what The Sea Cloud was built to be in 1931 for Marjorie Merriweather Post and E.F. Hutton. ..
