Happy 2026 — we’re already charting what’s new for next year, giving you plenty of time to plan! In 2027, we’ll journey north along Europe’s west coast, revealing routes we haven’t sailed in several seasons as we trace Portugal’s shoreline to the Celtic fringe. Discover wine-rich Porto, the art cities of Bilbao and San Sebastián, and France’s La Rochelle and Honfleur. Across the Channel, a rare circuit through the British Isles connects Scotland’s ports of Leith, Orkney, and Oban with the emerald harbors of Belfast and Dublin.
WAVE ON THE HORIZON
Wave Season has officially arrived, and for 2027 we’re celebrating with double the savings. For a limited time, Wave Early Bird rates will be 30% off (regularly 15%) for all sailings next year, including these new routes in the United Kingdom, France, and Spain. It’s an early-season advantage that rewards planning ahead, with preferred dates and favorite suites and staterooms still wide open.
SEA CLOUD SPIRIT
136 guests, 85 crew
Sailing meets sophistication on SEA CLOUD SPIRIT with 69 oceanview suites and staterooms, many with private balconies made for morning breezes. Guests can soak up the sun between sail and sky, sip libations on the lido, or drift between sauna, steam room, and spa. There’s a fitness studio with floor-to-ceiling sea views and a Steinway grand echoing through the lounge. Evenings begin with gourmet dining and end under moonlight, where the sea feels close enough to touch.
LET’S SET SAIL
UNITED KINGDOM
The British Isles set an unforgettable stage for small luxury ships like the SEA CLOUDS. From Leith, gateway to Edinburgh’s grand streets and castle views, the route sweeps north to the windswept Orkney Islands, rich with Neolithic sites and Viking lore. In the Hebrides, Stornoway and Tobermory deliver color, culture, and serious coastal character, while Oban serves seafood with a view worth lingering over.
FRANCE
Along the Atlantic coast, charm meets the sea in unmistakably French fashion. In La Rochelle, cobblestone lanes circle a lively old harbor where oysters, Cognac, and Pineau await. Honfleur stays forever photogenic with half-timbered houses and art-worthy reflections in its basin. Brittany’s Belle-Île-en-Mer brings rugged cliffs and hidden coves to explore at your pace, while Lorient and Le Palais add local culture, markets, and a true taste of seaside France.
SPAIN
On the Bay of Biscay, art, appetite, and Atlantic scenery blend together beautifully. In Bilbao, SEA CLOUD spotlights modern architecture and the Guggenheim with an exclusive evening visit. San Sebastián brings pintxos culture and Rioja pours along its bayside promenade. In Gijón, A Coruña, and Vigo, stroll old towns and seafood markets with plenty of time to savor each stop.
EXCLUSIVE OVERNIGHTS
Bordeaux, Oban, and Honfleur (port city to Paris), become even more irresistible when the anchor stays down for the night. Our overnights let you explore farther, dine later, and see these storied places after the crowds slip away. When larger ships pull away before sunset, SEA CLOUD guests get to linger longer in cultures ashore. It’s a slower rhythm that turns a visit into a true connection with unhurried exploration by day and immersive evenings in port.
