Sea Cloud Cruises Updates Advisors on Latest Company Developments

Sea Cloud Cruises, a renowned boutique cruise company established in 1979, has intensified its sales and marketing efforts in the North American market over the past year. The company operates three distinct four-masted sailing vessels: the historic Sea Cloud, her sister ship Sea Cloud II, and the modern Sea Cloud Spirit, launched in 2021, accommodating 64, 94, and 136 guests respectively.

In a recent interview with AGENTatHOME magazine, Kevin Smith, Vice President of Sales at Sea Cloud Cruises, shared insights into the company’s growth and reception in the North American travel advisor community.

Reflecting on their first year in the North American market, Smith expressed pride in becoming a preferred partner of Signature Travel Network, highlighting the growing confidence in Sea Cloud Cruises’ authentic luxury sailing experiences.

“When we introduced Sea Cloud Spirit to the North American market, it was clear we had something truly special,” Smith remarked. “Our ships are like unicorns, with their legendary history and the magical experience of seeing our sails raised by hand.”

Smith emphasized that one of the most surprising aspects for travel advisors and their clients is witnessing the traditional hand-operated riggings and sails on Sea Cloud Spirit, managed by a skilled crew dedicated to maintaining authenticity and tradition.

“Our crew retention rate speaks volumes about our commitment to excellence,” Smith added, noting that nearly 90% of the crew has stayed on for 2024, with many members boasting decades of service.

Sea Cloud Cruises has also fostered partnerships with cultural institutions, renowned chefs, and media personalities to enhance guest experiences. Smith explained, “These collaborations create unforgettable moments, from exclusive concerts to curated exhibitions and culinary delights.”

Looking ahead to the 2025 Caribbean season, Sea Cloud Cruises plans to debut a San Juan Guest Chef Series aboard Sea Cloud Spirit’s January sailings. Curated by acclaimed food writer Kathleen Squires and her husband Ronnie Rodriguez, this series will showcase Puerto Rico’s culinary richness through chef-led demonstrations, rum tastings, and regional dishes.

“We’re excited about our partnership with Discover Puerto Rico and the immersive experiences we’ll offer our guests,” Smith concluded, underscoring Sea Cloud Cruises’ commitment to providing unparalleled luxury and cultural exploration on the seas.
