La “Sea Cloud II”, technically a large barque, is a luxury vessel operated by Sea Cloud Cruises GmbH of Hamburg, Germany. She sails under the Maltese flag.
This modern sail ship was built at the Astilleros Gondán SA, in Figueras, Spain. After some delays during her construction the ship was christened in February 2001 in Las Palmas, Canary Islands.
With an overall length of 106 meters the ship can accomodate 96 passengers in 45 cabins of three different types. The 23 sails, made in Poland, provide the “Sea Cloud II” with a sail surface of 3000 square meters.
