Mediterranean Gems: Southern Italy and Sicily aboard Sea Cloud
Set sail aboard the four-masted Sea Cloud on a voyage across the Adriatic to the shores of southern Italy and Sicily. Marvel at ornate cathedrals and baroque buildings, explore great sites of antiquity—from renowned Pompeii to the less-visited Greek temples of Paestum—and meander through cliff-top towns, soaking up breathtaking views. Stand on deck and watch the orchestrated frenzy of crew members going aloft in the ship’s web of riggings to hand-set 30 sails.

Return to the golden age of sail aboard this hand-sailed, four-masted ship
Traveling aboard Sea Cloud, a historic four-masted barque, is an overall multisensory experience of the rarest kind—and this is true wherever you choose to explore. The sheer opulence—antique furnishings, marble fireplaces, gold fixtures, exquisite accoutrements—of Sea Cloud is a testament to the efforts of the ship’s original owners, businesswoman and socialite heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post and finance tycoon E.F. Hutton, who spared no expense in tasteful decoration. Whether you’re passively watching the athletic young crew scrambling high in the rigging, lolling in what Marjorie Merriweather Post called the “Blue Lagoon,” or learning to capture the sun on the sails with your Lindblad-National Geographic certified photo instructor, life aboard Sea Cloud is either the point or the perfect interlude between explorations.
