YouTube Video Description

What's it like to cruise aboard the legendary, 1931-built SEA CLOUD, the world's oldest, most historic overnight ocean going passenger ship? Step aboard in Palma de Mallorca for a nine night cruise visiting some of Spain's most beautiful ports of call (Ibiza, Valencia, Alicante, Malaga and Cadiz) before disembarking in Casablanca. As an extra bonus, the SEA CLOUD sailed in tandem with her newer fleetmate SEA CLOUD II during parts of the voyage. Watch the unfurling of the ship's sails (done by hand at staggering heights), ride around the SEA CLOUD in a zodiac as she and the SEA CLOUD II cruised the seas off Valencia and savor life on board the former yacht owned by Marjorie Merriweather Post. For more information on the SEA CLOUD, here is a link to a feature I did for QuirkyCruise.com, an excellent website dedicated to small ship cruising: https://quirkycruise.com/peter-knego-shares-his-sea-cloud-videos/ #seacloud #seacloudcruises #seacloud2 #marjoriemerriweatherpost #dinamerrill #palmademallorca #luxurycruising #sailingyachts #ibiza #alicante #valencia #malaga #cadiz #casablanca
