This itinerary traces a calm and elegant route from the French Riviera to the Italian coast, blending refined seaside towns with unspoilt island landscapes. Departing Nice, the journey lingers in Cannes, where Belle Époque glamour, palm-lined promenades, and quiet coastal moments set an unhurried tone. Sailing onward to Elba reveals a contrasting rhythm of green hills, clear waters, and layered history shaped by Napoleon and maritime trade, before concluding in Civitavecchia, the gateway to Rome, with a sense of balance between relaxed sailing, cultural depth, and Mediterranean scenery.


Highlights


• Hit Refresh: Take a short break from your daily routine with the well-deserved luxury of leisure time.

• Sophisticated Cannes: Celebrity flair along the marina, the Croisette, and its elegant sandy beach.

• The Eclectic Island of Elba: Tour exclusive vineyards, explore Napoleon’s villas, and swim in secluded coves.

Sea Cloud II is a romantic tall ship that masterfully blends the elegance of classic sailing with the comfort and convenience of modern luxury. Inspired by her legendary predecessor from the 1930s, this three-masted barque is fitted with 23 sails and is hand-sailed whenever possible, adding a sense of theatre and tradition to every voyage. With 44 cabins accommodating just 88 guests, the atmosphere aboard remains intimate and relaxed, while the interiors evoke the charm of a bygone era—polished wood, sweeping staircases, and vintage nautical style—all paired with the contemporary standards of a premium expedition ship.

Guests aboard Sea Cloud II enjoy spacious decks for sun-soaked sailing days, al fresco dining on the Lido Deck, and a wellness area featuring a sauna, massage therapy, and fitness facilities. The ship’s welcoming indoor spaces include an elegant dining room and a comfortable lounge for evening Recaps hosted by expert field staff such as historians and photo instructors. Meals focus on locally sourced ingredients and regional cuisine, served in an informal yet refined setting. With an open Bridge policy and wide, accessible passageways, Sea Cloud II invites guests not just to relax, but to immerse themselves fully in the experience of life under sail.
