Elegant Cruises is pleased to present you with our 2008-09 programs for the m/s Monet during this, her eighth year of operating in the beautiful Adriatic.

With just 31 outside cabins, the yacht-like Monet is the perfect size for calling at the small island ports and coastal towns of Dalmatia. With her shallow draft, Monet docks in places not available to larger ships. Guests enjoy friendly, professional service from our Croatian crew, excellent cuisine, educational shore excursions, and all the amenities that you would expect to find aboard such an elegant, small ship. From her classic teak decks one can take in the splendid Medieval and Renaissance cities while enjoying the pleasure of traveling without the hassles of packing and unpacking.

During your stay aboard the Monet, you'll see exquisite scenery, enjoy folkloric performances and view the wonders of centuries past. There'll be time to wander the cobbled streets of walled medieval towns, browse through attractive shops and swim in the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. From the legendary Renaissance splendors of Venice— "the Queen of the Adriatic"—to the medieval walled city of Dubrovnik—"the Pearl of the Adriatic"—you'll discover several millennia of history along the shores of this incredible azure sea. The Dalmatian coast alone has over 1,000 islands basking in the sun that, along with the coastal cities of Croatia, offer a wealth of art and architecture. Korcula contains reminders of the rule of the Venetians, while Split and Pula respectively offer some of the best preserved Roman edifices in existence: the massive Diocletian's Palace and 20,000—seat amphitheater designed to host gladiatorial contests. In Zadar, step ashore and visit the exceptional Museum of Church Art or the Archaeological Museum. Nature's wonders can be appreciated in the magnificent Krka waterfalls near Sibenik, and the fissured limestone islands of the Kornati Archipelago.

The Sea Cloud is a glorious and gracious sailing yacht, a four-masted bark, custom built in 1931 by the business magnate E.F. Hutton for his wife the heiress, Marjorie Merriweather Post.
Her sleek, snow-white hull elegantly curves from stem to stern and her masts stretch high into the sky. The ship’s decks offer the grandeur of rich mahogany, teak and gleaming brass and the magnificent golden eagle figurehead seems poised to fly across the waters.

The opulence continues in the public areas and original cabins with antique furnishings, elegant fireplaces and bathrooms of Carrara marble with golden fixtures. The newer cabins also offer a high degree of comfort and luxury with rosewood and brass décor, marble baths and large windows. Personal service and fine amenities are the hallmarks of a Sea Cloud cruise and guests are pampered with deluxe linens and bathrobes, complimentary fruit in their cabins and complimentary fine wines served with lunch and dinner.

A nostalgic romanticism permeates the Sea Cloud evoking the glories of the Golden Age of Travel. Music from the ships own Steinway upright piano wafts from the elegant dining room where you enjoy fine international cuisine. Other shipboard facilities include a well-stocked boutique, a cozy library and the delightful bar on the Lido Deck where you can relax or sunbathe in comfortable deck chairs.
