Sea Cloud · Sea Cloud ii

Sailing around the Canary Islands

November 2016

SET SAIL AND EXTEND YOUR SUMMER

In November, the sun takes its leave and

heads off on a winter break of its own ...

but that will not sour the mood on board

our two windjammers. The Sea Cloud

and the Sea Cloud ii have adventure

in their sights, hoisting their sails and

setting a course for the Canaries. And

the timing could not be more perfect:

at this time of year, this Atlantic archi-

pelago makes for a spectacular spot for

sailing. With constant trade winds and

mild temperatures between 22 and 24

degrees, it promises prime conditions

for our two elegant yachts.

Two cruises, two main focuses

Each person expects something different

from their windjammer experience. This

is why our two sailing holidays through

the Canary Islands are based around two

different themes. On the Sea Cloud

ii, the focus is not just on sailing, but

experiencing the local scenery, people,

nature and culture. You can discover the

islands‘ diversity during an organised

excursion or individually at your own

pace. On the Sea Cloud, our cruise

has no fixed itinerary: we let the wind

set the course for our legendary wind-

jammer, allowing sailing to truly become

the heart of the journey. Prepare yourself

for the unexpected, no matter where the

elements take us. The Sea Cloud will

then drop anchor in a port each evening,

with each morning promising exciting

new sailing adventures.

THE DIVERSITY OF THE CANARIES

Stunning scenery and a laid-back tempo

On the three smaller and westernmost

Canary Islands – El Hierro, La Palma and

La Gomera – time passes more slowly.

Holidaymakers come here to learn a thing

or two about sedate living from the local

inhabitants and to enjoy a fully relaxing

break in the midst of breathtaking nature.

With the exception of a few barren

mountain regions, these three volcanic

islands are covered in lush green

vegetation. La Gomera‘s pride and joy is

the Garajonay National Park with its

misty tropical forest. Thanks to their

unique natural landscapes, La Palma

and El Hierro have both been declared

biosphere reserves by UNESCO.

The “Islands of Eternal Spring” may

all share the same pleasant climate,

but each one impresses with its own

inimitable beauty. Gran Canaria and

Tenerife offer up vast beaches and a

vibrant city life, whilst on El Hierro,

La Palma and La Gomera you can

experience the serenity of Mother

Nature. With fine sand dunes, such

as those found on Fuerteventura, and

the peculiar lava-sculpted landscapes of

Lanzarote, the sunny Canary archipelago

is one of the planet‘s most intriguing

destinations, offering an abundance of

unique scenery and culture.

Enjoy relaxing beaches and bustling towns

Gran Canaria and Tenerife are the two

most populous Canary Islands, which

comes as no surprise given that for nearly

150 years tourists have been flocking to

these two destinations to enjoy their long

sandy beaches and mild climate. Today,

the islands‘ capital cities are mainly

renowned for their lively atmosphere and

varied nightlife. But away from the tourist

hotspots, small coastal and mountain

villages still offer a slice of authentic

Canary life.

Sail wherever the wind takes you

On this trip our legendary tall ship will show you exactly what it was born to do, with nothing but the wind deter-mining its course and the captain obeying its orders. Just how many knots can the Sea Cloud get up to? At how many ports will it call? The answers will emerge – new at every hour and on each of the six days at sea.

Just one goal: relaxation

For seven whole days you can enjoy your trip without any organised stops, schedules, or timetables. The freedom beneath the sails knows no bounds; here you will find the perfect place to relax. Time passes slowly as you

effortlessly unwind and relaxation takes hold.

Also on board: circumnavigatorBurghard Pieske

Burghard Pieske may have studied geography and education, but he is also a qualified ship’s captain. Since spending ten years sailing around the world, his main focus has been recreating reallife historic sailing ad-

ventures. He is an author, adventurer and freelancer for ‘Yacht’ magazine. Depending upon the circumstances, it is possible that another lecturer will be on board

for this trip.

Sail with the trade winds through the ever-changing island landscape of the Canaries: Las Palmas – Las Palmas

Many magnificent hours at sea

In late autumn the reliable trade winds and the Canaries’ mild climate ensure ideal sailing conditions. The day is yours to relish the wonderful windjammer experience however you please. And when the Sea Cloud ii drops anchor in the afternoon or early evening, there will still be plenty of time to explore the surrounding area.

The diversity of the Canary Islands

Gran Canaria, Tenerife, El Hierro, La Palma and La Gomera – during this cruise you will discover the two bigger and three smaller Canary Islands. Walking along the promenades, through narrow alleyways or alongsi-de the sea, you will experience the diverse character of these islands: from cosmopolitan style in Las Palmas to quiet introspection in rustic San Sebastián.

Nature at its best: the Garajonay andCaldera de Taburiente national parks

Magical trade mists, gnarled pine trees, babbling head streams – when the Garajonay and Caldera de Taburiente national parks were created, the Canary Islands guaranteed protection for two of its most out-standing ecosystems. Whilst Garajonay’s misty evergreen forest boasts over 1,000 animal species, Caldera de Taburiente impresses with an enormous, rugged volcanic crater.

Also on board: Dr Constantin Elfe

Dr Elfe is a passionate sailor who studied history and politics, as well as American Studies, and who works for the German parliament. He has been accompanying our cruises as a lecturer for many years. His talks

cover a wide range of topics.Depending upon the circumstances, it is possible that another lecturer will be on board
