The lineup of “Special Occasion” voyages includes the St. Barths Bucket Regatta, the Monaco Historic Grand Prix and America’s Cup. Many sailings will be hosted by Michelin-starred chefs, with bespoke musical experiences or renowned lecturers onboard. The Sea Cloud Cruises fleet will ring in the New Year in Cartagena, Bequia and Virgin Gorda.
