We began and ended today by experiencing the beauty of Sea Cloud in the rising and setting of the sun. We entered the port of Katapola on Amorgos Island as sunlight spilled across the landscape, casting its light on the village below. The morning was spent visiting a dramatic monastery and a quaint village on Amorgos. An afternoon filled with sailing ended as the crew ascended the rigging to furl the sails as the sun set on the horizon ahead.

Sea Cloud
Poros, Greece
Like the first day of our voyage, some improvisation occurred on our last, and the strong winds of the Aegean led us to the charming island of Poros. There, we enjoyed an unhurried morning in a typical Greek port town of shaded cafes, lively shops, and photogenic pathways draped in fragrant jasmine and bright bougainvillea. After a guided walk up to the clock tower which offered splendid views of the surrounding landscape, some of us opted for one final swim in the Saronic Gulf, while others browsed the town’s enticing shops. Back on the ship, our afternoon was once more spent sailing the lovely waters of Greece. This evening, we gathered on the lido deck for a cocktail hour hosted by Captain Sergei, followed by a sumptuous farewell dinner in Sea Cloud’ s elegant dining room. We concluded our memorable week aboard this beautiful ship sharing enlightening conversation with our fellow travelers.
