July 21–29, 2019

Dear Members and Friends of The Metropolitan Museum of Art,

Please join me this summer aboard the incomparable Sea Cloud, to discover ancient marvels of myth and antiquity in the Cyclades and the Peloponnese.

Explore the enchanting Greek Isles as our privately chartered vessel slips into small harbors and shallow bays to visit Mycenae, Epidaurus, and other sites rich with mythological and historical resonances.

From Piraeus, cross the Aegean to call at Delos, mythical birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. Roam its extensive ruins, then refresh with an espresso or apéritif on nearby Mykonos. Step ashore on Naxos for a tour of its excellent antiquities museum, where we will see the Cycladic marble figures that had such a significant influence on Picasso and other modern artists.

On the lesser-visited peninsula of Peloponnese, stroll the narrow streets of Monemvasia, “Greece’s Gibraltar.” In Mycenae, legendary city of Agamemnon, view treasures unearthed by Heinrich Schliemann, brilliant pioneer in the field of archaeology. By special invitation, we are invited to view a private art collection on Hydra, a haven for artists and writers, before returning to the mainland.

With her billowing sails, rich mahogany, and gleaming brass, the classic barque Sea Cloud has been setting the standard for luxury sailing since 1931. Her elegant appointments, fine dining, impeccable service, and intimate size make her the ideal ship for this splendid itinerary. Weather permitting, there may be an opportunity to swim in the azure waters of the Aegean.

Don’t miss the chance to experience the thrill of traveling to legendary islands aboard this remarkable ship, in the congenial company of members of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Association of Yale Alumni.

Sincerely,

Pierre TerjanianArthur Ochs Sulzberger Curator in Charge,Department of Arms and Armor

With her rich mahogany and gleaming brass, the legendary Sea Cloud travels under 30 billowing sails trimmed by hand. Her original owners, heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post and financier E. F. Hutton, desired a craft like no other. They spared no expense to create the largest private sailing ship ever built and in 1931, Sea Cloud was launched. In the ’30s and ’40s, as she sailed the world, the four-masted beauty was host to leaders including the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Sweden’s King Gustavus V. Now carefully restored by a team of master craftspeople, this great lady continues to offer elegant quarters, fine dining, and impeccable service. Praised by the world’s most discerning travelers, Sea Cloud receives consistently high rankings from Condé Nast Traveler.
