If today is a day at sea, there's time to relax in the shade of the Lido Deck, or to sunbathe in a deck chair or on the fantail's thick cushions. Perhaps one of the guest lecturers will speak this morning about the Delphic Oracle or Ravenna's famous mosaics. If there's a shore excursion on the agenda, 'Sea Cloud' docks and lands her passengers by tender to explore Delos or Patmos, Corsica or Catania, in the company of knowledgeable lecturers and guides. And so day glides into evening. Back on board, the lights on the Lido Deck blink to life as the Mediterranean sun disappears into the sea.
Dinner is served, with applause for a flaming dessert.
The pianist moves to his post. One last drink, one last goodnight, before the gentle rolling of the ship rocks everyone to sleep. Another day aboard 'Sea Cloud' has ended. Meet 'Sea Cloud's' accomplished guest lecturers and staff. All rights reserved.
