There are journeys that simply transport you – not just across the sea, but into a different rhythm of life. This summer, Luxaviation invites you to step aboard Sea Cloud II and sail into the heart of the Aegean, where history, beauty and effortless luxury meet.

In partnership with Sea Cloud Cruises, we are delighted to offer our clients an extraordinary experience: intimate, unforgettable voyages through the hidden gems of the Cyclades, aboard one of the world's most iconic sailing yachts.

The Romance of True Sailing

There is a profound magic to travelling under sail. Aboard Sea Cloud II, time slows to the pace of the wind and sea. Sails are set by hand, as they have been for generations, and the sense of connection to the elements is tangible.

Designed for no more than 94 guests, Sea Cloud II offers the elegance of a grand private yacht. Marble bathrooms, polished woodwork and gracious spaces create a setting of timeless sophistication. Every stateroom is an inviting private retreat, while the sun-drenched decks, open-air Lido Bar and exquisite restaurant invite moments of conviviality and calm.

Onboard, luxury is quietly understood. A dedicated crew of 65 ensures every detail is attended to, while a spirit of unhurried freedom pervades life at sea – whether you choose to indulge in a spa treatment, take to the water from the marina platform, or simply relax with a book under the billowing sails.

The Cyclades – An Odyssey of Discovery

Beyond the familiar postcard images, the Cyclades hold a deeper, richer story: of hidden harbours, whitewashed villages untouched by time and ancient myths that still seem to linger in the air.

Allow the rhythm of the waves and the whisper of the sails to carry you beyond the ordinary – into a world where every moment is crafted with care, and every destination promises wonder.

This voyage reveals the true soul of the islands:

  • Wander the cobbled lanes of Spetses, scented with jasmine and bougainvillaea.
  • Explore Nauplio, where history whispers from Venetian fortresses and neoclassical mansions.
  • Bask in the sun on Milos, an island of dramatic rock formations and secluded coves.
  • Climb to the sacred monastery of Saint John on Patmos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  • Walk through the legendary streets of Ephesus, once the capital of Roman Asia.

Each island unfolds its own story - and with the Sea Cloud II anchoring in hidden bays and lesser-known ports, you are invited to experience them intimately, away from the crowds.

Swim directly from the yacht into crystal-clear waters, sip a chilled glass of wine at a harbour taverna, or lose yourself in the labyrinthine alleys of an ancient town – this is travel at its most poetic.
