12 Night Cruise sailing from Puerto Limon to Havana aboard Sea Cloud II.

In February 2001 the SEA CLOUD II turned fantasy into reality:
In the harbor of Las Palmas, godmother Sabine Christiansen broke a bottle of champagne across the bow of the gleaming white barque and proclaimed: "I christen you the 'SEA CLOUD II'".

Like no other ship, she combines the timeless elegance of windjammers of past with the highest safety standards and the luxurious comfort of modern cruise ships.

Sailing romantics will be fascinated while on board, where the 29,600 sq. feet of sails is set by hand..

What makes the SEA CLOUD II special is her unusual bounty and expanse for a sailing ship. You have almost limitless possibilities on the four decks to do exactly as your heart desires.

Highlights of this cruise:

Puerto Limon
Puerto Limon has grown to become Costa Rica's premier port town located on the Caribbean coast south east of San Jose. The area boasts towering mountains, magnificent rain forests and sun-drenched beaches.

Limon is the host of one of Costa Rica's most famous carnivals called Dia de las Culturas. The festival's purpose is to celebrate Costa Rica's diverse culture but is a wild crazy Mardi Gras type party.

Belize
Belize City is the largest city of the Central American nation Belize. It is located at the mouth of the Belize River on the coast of the Caribbean. Belize City is best known as the cultural and business epicenter of Belize, as well as a doorway for cruise passengers.

Belize offers fine Caribbean beaches, swimming, sailing and scuba diving on its outer cays, where most tourism is centered. Belize's light-tackle sportfishing, especially for bonefish, is world renowned. Inland, tours of the spectacular Maya ruins Altun Ha, Lamonai and The temple of the Masks are available. Belize City also offers colonial architecture and great nightlife.

Havana
Havana is the capital city of Cuba and one of the largest and most vibrant cities in the Caribbean. It boasts an old town area, a 19th-century district of densely packed, houses and narrow streets contrasting with the high-rise city center (Vedado). The sea wall, known as the Malecon, extends for 8km and is a popular walking spot. Havana's best beaches, the Playas del Este, are about 20km from the center.

Exploring la Habana Vieja is a must. The streets and alleys of this colonial-era city center have been perfectly restored. You can visit the plazas, churches, and forts here. The Calle Tacon market is great for souvenir shopping and a walk along the Malecon in the afternoon is a great way to finish the day. The Hotel Nacional is a good place to grab a cool drink and enjoy the setting sun from their "Compass Card" outdoor terrace.
