Vibrant<br />

Stunning volcanic scenery and island<br />

hideaways on the sunny side of the<br />

lesser antilles.<br />

When the colours begin to fade and November grey is setting the tone, it is<br />

time for the <strong>Sea</strong> <strong>Cloud</strong> to set sail across the Atlantic. Its white sails billow<br />

in the breeze, the wind determines our precise course and for many days the<br />

sky feels closer than the land. Our tall ship sails towards a radiant sun and<br />

into a glowing world of pastel colours: the archipelago of the Lesser Antilles<br />

and the Grenadines.<br />

Here, mother nature has created a wealth of jewels and carved them into<br />

various shapes and forms: The Grenadines, Bequia and Jost van Dyke await<br />

you with their perfect bays and countless beaches, while Virgin Gorda enchants<br />

with unique rock formations, and breathtaking volcanoes tower above<br />

the stunning tropical landscape on Dominica and St Lucia. Each island is a<br />

precious gem in its own right.<br />

No wonder they were considered prized bounty in colonial times, with many<br />

nations fighting over the islands. Today, their architectural legacy forms a<br />

romanticised backdrop, as can be seen in the old fort on the Îles des Saintes.<br />

Sometimes hiding behind these picturesquely washed-out wooden facades<br />

you will find the work of traditional artisans, as seen in Antigua, or exclusive<br />

luxury goods such as those found on the jet-set island of St Barthélemy. Our<br />

legendary tall ship drops anchor where infamous pirates once came to hide<br />

out. And the <strong>Sea</strong> <strong>Cloud</strong> only strikes sail where the exceptional is just that<br />

little bit more special: on the sunny side of life – the Lesser Antilles.<br />
