Detailed answer
Sea Cloud Spirit was built by Metalships and Docks in Vigo, Spain, handed over in May 2021 and made its maiden cruise from Rome in September 2021. It is a three-masted, full-rigged sailing ship 138 metres long, with more than 4,100 square metres of sail that the crew set by hand in just under an hour. Its gross tonnage is 4,228. It carries up to 136 guests in 69 outside cabins, 25 of them with balconies, and a crew of about 85. On board are a restaurant, a lounge, a bar with bistro, a library, a wellness area with three treatment rooms and a Finnish sauna, and a fitness area on the sun deck. Meals with wine and beer, soft drinks and staff gratuities are included in the fare.
How busy will town be?
The upcoming visits listed on this page show the passengers expected on each call and any other ships in port the same day. Town is busiest when several ships are in at once or a large ship arrives at a weekend. A ship carrying a few hundred passengers makes little difference on its own.
Can you sail on it from nearby?
Yes, from Malaga. The call on Wednesday 19 May 2027, from 13:30 to 18:00, is on a four-night voyage from Malaga to Lisbon that leaves on Tuesday 18 May 2027 and calls at Gibraltar and Cadiz before arriving in Lisbon on Saturday 22 May 2027. Sea Cloud also sells it as a 10-night voyage from Malaga to Bilbao. In July 2027 the ship sails along the Atlantic coasts of Britain, Ireland, France, Spain and Portugal, finishing a Bilbao to Lisbon voyage on Tuesday 27 July 2027, and it leaves Palma for Olbia on Friday 6 August 2027. The voyage between those two, which includes the call on Saturday 31 July 2027, is not shown in Sea Cloud's published 2027 calendar.
