Sea Cloud Cruises, one of the world's most storied names in cruise travel, will deploy its newest ship, Sea Cloud Spirit, for four new Venice roundtrip sailings during the Summer 2025 season. For the first time in the cruise line’s history, the line’s largest and newest ship will sail four, nine-night voyages that include an overnight in Venice, docking in the city’s exclusive Grand Canal. Titled “The Enchanting Croatian Coast,” the itinerary will include six ports of call along Croatia’s scenic coast and two days under full sail exploring the Adriatic Sea. The 2025 Venice roundtrip sailings are July 24-August 2, August 2-11, August 11-20, August 20-29.
A special addition to the August 2-11sailing will be a special Cabaret Cultivated Journey headlined by feature cabaret, concert and recording artist Travis Moser. Moser has packed houses and won acclaim for his solo shows in New York City’s most intimate stages and around the country. His performances will mark the first Sea Cloud Cruises Cabaret Cultivated Journey with a planned set-list showcasing Travis’ personal inspirations of travel, sailing and accompanied on Sea Cloud Spirit’s iconic Steinway & Sons grand piano.
“So much of the musical experience is the venue, connecting the audience in an intimate space and I cannot be more excited to do just that onboard the beautiful Sea Cloud Spirit sailing the Adriatic Sea from Venice,” shared Moser regarding his 2025 Cultivated Journey performance. “I look forward to sharing this travel and musical experience with guests and will be counting the days until my accompanist and I board.
Historic Venice is limited to ships under 25,000 GRT (gross tonnage) and Sea Cloud Cruises is one of the few cruise lines permitted to dock just steps from St. Mark’s Square, offering a dramatic arrival and departure in the heart of Venice’s Grand Lagoon. The full itinerary features Venice, a day under full sails, Sibenik/Croatia, Dubrovnik/Croatia, Korula/Croatia, Vis/Croatia, Hvar/Croatia, day under full sails, Rovinj/Croatia returning to Venice overnight. Shore excursion highlights include the waterfalls and wading pools of Krka, extra time in Dubrovnik until 11 p.m. after the large ships leave, the serene island harbor of Komiza known for wine making and fishing and opportunities for an evening stroll on Venice’s Rialto Bridge before retiring to Sea Cloud Spirit just steps from the historic sites.
“Sailing was a passion of Marjorie Merriweather Post, creator of the original Sea Cloud, and these special Venice roundtrip sailings have been meticulously designed to pay homage to her love for traveling in this region under full sail.” said Mirell Reyes, president of Sea Cloud Cruises North America. “Post was also passionate about music, and we are thrilled to have Travis Moser join us on our first of hopefully many special Cabaret Cultivated Journeys performing in such beautiful space with our Steinway & Sons grand piano.”
Moser’s most recent show, “Someday Soon: The Songs of Judy Collins,” recently completed a tour of across the country. His previous show, “Just One Look: The Songs of Linda Ronstadt,” paid homage to the legendary goddess of music and debuted at New York’s famed The Green Room 42. This will mark his debut onboard Sea Cloud Spirit and with Sea Cloud Cruises.
