The Sea Cloud’s life story is more thrilling than some novels. She was built in 1931 in Kiel at the request of a Wall Street broker. It was his wife, Lady Marjorie Post, who shaped the Sea Cloud’s character. She had exquisite taste: Only the best was good enough for her. She loved golden bath fixtures, Carrara marble, precious woods, solid brass and antique furniture. The on-board ambiance is a result of her "weakness" for extravagance.  Even today the Sea Cloud embodies that luxury and love of life – in the two owner’s suites and eight other original cabins as well in the stylish new cabins. The four-masted barque is at home on the world’s oceans as a cruise ship extraordinaire.  Those who have sailed with her return to her again and again.
