Since then, the Los Angeles-based company has been one of the pioneers of the modern cruise industry and has grown to become one of the largest cruise lines in the world with 18 ships. In 2015, Princess Cruises celebrated its 50th anniversary.
In 1975, Princess became world-famous with the popular TV series “Love Boat”. At the time, the shipping company owned one of the most modern and exclusive cruise fleets in the world. The TV series gave millions of viewers an insight into the concept of a modern cruise ship and led to an expansion of the entire cruise market. In November 2014, the Regal Princess was christened as the newest ship in the Princess fleet by the crew of the American TV series “The Love Boat” in a ceremony in Fort Lauderdale.

Sea Cloud Cruises

Cruises with the yachts from SEA CLOUD CRUISES are already very special trips in themselves. But when the two tall ships SEA CLOUD and SEA CLOUD II meet on the high seas or when a “normal” cruise is combined with other activities such as a cycling package, you can look forward to unforgettable moments!
The fascination of windjammers:
more than just a cruise
Passion cannot be measured in gross register tons. And true enthusiasm is not created at the push of a button. Our two windjammers SEA CLOUD and SEA CLOUD II are strong characters that are sailed with pride and passion.
Sailing cruises with SEA CLOUD CRUISES
They whisk their guests away to a world where authenticity still counts, where traditions are valued and individuality sets the course. Because in an age that is increasingly dominated by superlatives, we have made a conscious decision to remain small and refined.
This means that every trip with SEA CLOUD CRUISES is far more than just a cruise - it is a very personal experience.
Setting sail by hand
The sailors pull with all their might on the hemp rope that disappears into the rigging twenty meters above them. High above, the mighty sails rattle in the fresh breeze and engage in a tug-of-war with the crew.
Manual labor on a sailing cruise with SEA CLOUD and SEA CLOUD II

Brightly polished brass gleams in the sun. Another strong pull on the main halyard, then the yacht leans into the wind - done!
Setting the sails by hand takes almost an hour, and it is a fascinating spectacle every time. Surrounded by genuine seafaring romance, you can feel why our ships themselves are the most beautiful destination on a sailing cruise:
A journey on a majestic windjammer is far more than just a cruise.
As personal as a private yacht
The special flair of a private yacht makes you feel like a guest of good friends on board.
For the pleasure of pampering:
the exclusive life on board.
Creative, exquisite, excellent - your demand for an exceptional cruise is our benchmark. That is why cuisine, service and ambience are particularly important in our philosophy.
The most beautiful cruising areas for fantastic sailing trips.
The best sailing areas in the world serve as the backdrop for the SEA CLOUD, the SEA CLOUD II and, from late fall 2020, the SEA CLOUD SPIRIT: Central America and the Lesser Antilles, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic coast and Northern Europe.
No matter which region you choose: Our three windjammers will take you to unique destinations and make the journey your destination.

TUI Cruises

Experience premium all-inclusive on the high seas. TUI Cruises and the Mein Schiff feel-good fleet program make it possible.
The best vacation feeling is: not having to think about anything, but being able to think about everything. Not having to pay anything extra, but being able to try everything. Not having to do without anything and being able to look forward to everything. If this is your idea of the perfect vacation, then you've come to the right place.
However, as vacation feelings do not only go through the stomach, various sports and health offers, a visit to the sauna of your choice, our shows and theater performances as well as exciting entertainment for the little ones by trained supervisors are also included.
The Mein Schiff fleet comprises 7 ships that have voluntarily undercut the applicable exhaust emission limits since 2014. Our ships have also long met the stricter requirements from 2020. Good is not good enough for us, which is why Mein Schiff 4 and Mein Schiff 5 will be powered by shore-side electricity from 2020. The new ships, which will join the fleet in 2024 and 2026, will be powered by low-emission liquefied natural gas (LNG)
A highlight on the routes is the themed cruise “Full Metal Cruise”, on which heavy metal fans meet year after year and enjoy concerts and personal meetings with the artists/bands on the high seas and ashore.
Over the years, other themed cruises (such as Jeckliner) have been added and are very popular.
