Our first day onboard Sea Cloud, we sailed the vast, clear blue waters of the Aegean Sea, while getting to know one another a little better. Light winds and calm seas allowed for a swim call where almost everyone took a dip in the “Sea Cloud pool.” Of course, no day at sea is complete without a teatime of finger food assortments and a crepe station sure to satisfy every sweet tooth. A beautiful Captain’s Welcome Dinner paired with a bright orange sunset was a sweet, elegant end to a salty sea day.

Sea Cloud
Sifnos, Greece
Today’s port of call was Sifnos, a small island gem in the Cyclades. The captain took us to a nice little port, Platos Gialos. Two groups, Zeus and Apollo, went on a scenic drive to medieval Kastro. This town was built on a small hill as a castle, as the word Kastro suggests. As we walked the narrow streets, we were amazed by its charm. Cats invited us to pet them, and amazing views opened around every corner. Some of us went down to a small peninsula to see the picture-perfect Church of the Seven Martyrs while others immersed themselves in the town’s atmosphere. Our next stop was Kamares, a ferry port in a beautiful bay. We were treated to a selection of the best local food Sifnos can offer on a terrace by the beach.
