Sea Cloud Sails for Western Europe in Summer 2027

Sea Cloud Cruises has announced that it is sailing the Atlantic coastlines of Britain, Ireland, France, Spain and Portugal aboard the Sea Cloud Spirit in 2027. The 2027 voyages are available for booking.

The company said that it is offering four consecutive July voyages that will allow travelers to experience lesser-known ports, islands, landscapes and culinary traditions.

“We’re going to places that reward curiosity, and that’s the point,” said Kevin Smith, president, Americas, Sea Cloud Cruises.

The collection begins in Dublin and follows the British and French coasts before reaching Spain, with a fourth voyage continuing from Bilbao to Lisbon.

Along the way, the Sea Cloud Spirit calls at Cobh and Tresco, Guernsey, Dartmouth, Honfleur, Lorient and Belle-Île-en-Mer, as well as San Sebastián and other Atlantic destinations.
