Between the Basque Country and Normandy - Sailing Cruise
This journey traces the Atlantic coast from northern Spain to northern France, linking distinctive maritime regions shaped by food, wine, and seafaring tradition. Departing Bilbao, the route highlights Basque culture in San Sebastián before alternating sailing days with calls in historic ports such as La Rochelle and Quiberon, where coastal gastronomy and regional character define each stop. The voyage continues through the Channel Islands with a visit to Guernsey, marked by rugged cliffs and pastoral landscapes, before concluding in Honfleur, the gateway to Paris and a harbour long associated with artists, traders, and explorers.

Category A: Suites with balcony. From
€8,832 EUR pp
The SEA CLOUD SPIRIT carries the spirit of our legendary flagship into a new age. This is also reflected in the ambience of the suites on the panorama deck. Her noble design combines with the spaciousness of the room to create an exclusive living environment. The idea of the suite is the modern interpretation of a tradition from the time when the ship owners themselves lived on board and had the best cabins furnished for themselves. The feeling of being the centre of the endless expanse of the ocean is reinforced by the unique perspective through the large panoramic windows overlooking the sea. Experiencing the sea is meant literally here – on the large balcony, sailing becomes a special pleasure.
