Lindblad Expeditions announced 2 new itineraries for the 58-passenger sailship Sea Cloud.
On the new voyages, tourists will discover the Adriatic Sea's stunning coasts (Croatia and Slovenia) and the Western Mediterranean's ancient sites.
The 30-sail boat (4-masted barque) Sea Cloud was launched back in 1931. She is sumptuously appointed with opulent furnishings chosen by her first owner, socialite Marjorie Merriweather Post. Sea Cloud is the best platform to sail along storied coasts and among islands.
Both itineraries are studded with landmarks, with sites both seldom seen and legendary. Built into the cruises is Lindblad's pioneering expedition style, specially designed to balance active exploration with relaxation, so passengers will discover small fishing villages, isolated beaches, and welcoming people.
