Step back in history and witness the remarkable sand-tone Arabic architecture of the Kasbah, the oldest district of Agadir. Sail to Arrecife, the capital city of Lanzarote, yet brimming with Spanish authenticity. Island hop to Tenerife where you’ll find a fusion of luscious green landscapes, historic architecture and vibrant street art. Explore the volcanic island of El Hierro and discover San Sebastián, La Gomera, the final port of call for Christopher Columbus before he set sail for the New World.
The two SEA CLOUD sisters follow the same course for several days. When both yachts glide along side by side under full sail, they offer a truly breathtaking spectacle. Relax on board today as we enjoy a day at sea. Experience an exhibition of true sailing craft as the crew climb the masts to release the sails, a centuries-old ritual brought to life. Take advantage of the ship’s many facilities or simply sit back and watch the world go by.
This morning we arrive at Agadir. Nearly fully destroyed by a devastating earthquake in 1960, Agadir is now the largest seaside resort in Morocco. Here you can climb to the oldest district in the city, the Kasbah, for impressive examples of medieval Arabic architecture as well as extraordinary views over the city. We depart Agadir this evening and set sail out into the Atlantic Ocean.
Once again, you’ll be greeted by Sea Cloud II as we rejoin the same course on our journey towards our next destination, Lanzarote.
The small city of Arrecife boasts a proud heritage due to it not needing to rely on tourism to earn its keep. Spend the day exploring the largely unspoilt city’s narrow backstreets, humble bars, and sun-bleached buildings. You can also head to the new modern marina or walk into the old town where local delicacies such as churros are waiting to be sampled. We set sail early afternoon to Tenerife.
Arrive in Santa Cruz this afternoon, you will discover a luscious green landscape backed by a range of rolling hills. Quirky shops housed in brightly painted buildings nestle alongside historic architectural monuments, captivating museums and vibrant street art and welcoming cafes and restaurants surround the Plaza de Espana. We set sail at midnight.
The smallest of the Canary Islands, believed in Columbus’s day to be the very western edge of the world. The volcanic island was designated a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 2000 which you can explore today on an ebike optional excursion. Set sail to la Gomera late this evening.
We arrive at the sleepy capital of San Sebastián this morning. In the mid-15th century, this little fishing marina was the final port of call for Christopher Columbus before he set sail for the New World. The building in which he stayed is now a museum for any curious explorers. You can also visit the rustic old town, including the 18th century Church of the Assumption, the lush subtropical park and Torre del Conde fort, and the vibrant Mercado Municipal, which is home to some delicious gastronomic treasures and some of the tastiest local delicacies on the island.
