Sail the world in unparalleled luxury aboard the Nat. Geo - Sea Cloud II, a masterpiece of design and comfort.

Sail the seas in timeless elegance aboard the privately chartered National Geographic Sea Cloud II, an exquisite three-masted barque that blends the romance of classic tall ship sailing with the comfort and sophistication of a modern yacht. Reserved exclusively for Lindblad Expeditions guests, this 384-foot vessel offers an unmatched blend of adventure, heritage, and luxury for just 88 travelers.
With 44 beautifully appointed staterooms and suites, Sea Cloud II evokes the golden age of sailing while providing contemporary amenities. Rich mahogany paneling, brass fixtures, and fine fabrics set an atmosphere of old-world refinement, while large windows, marble bathrooms, and ample storage ensure comfort throughout the journey. Select suites on the Main Deck offer additional space and elegant sitting areas.
As a private charter, Sea Cloud II offers a relaxed and convivial environment, with plenty of space to gather or find solitude. Guests can savor gourmet meals in the elegant dining room, relax with a book in the wood-paneled lounge or library, and enjoy open-air views from the spacious decks as the crew hand-sets over 23,000 square feet of sails in a spectacular nautical display.
Led by Lindblad’s expert expedition team—including naturalists, historians, and a National Geographic-certified photo instructor—each voyage includes thoughtfully curated shore excursions to cultural landmarks, historic ports, and natural wonders. Enrichment continues onboard with lectures, photography workshops, and spirited discussions.
