In 1989, at nearly 40 years of age, Vladimir Kanevsky set out for a new life and career in the U.S.
“When I came here, I wanted to become a figurative sculptor, and I started it immediately,” says the native of Ukraine, who had previously worked as an architect in the former Soviet Union. “But I needed to pay rent. You cannot pay rent with sculpture. If you’re number one in the world, you probably can. But if you’re the second? No.”
Kanevsky figured out how he could make rent and make a name for himself in the world of design in the process. “Just by chance, someone asked me if I can make porcelain,” he says. “I never worked with porcelain, but I said I could. I started to teach myself, and eventually it led me to flowers, tableware, and other decorative objects.”

Sea Cloud Spirit has been delivered to Sea Cloud Cruises from the Vigo, Spain shipyard, and its maiden voyage is set for September 14, 2021, for a 10-night roundtrip Rome to Rome.
The plan is to have the ship spend the fall in the Western Mediterranean and the upcoming winter season in the Canary Islands. As cruising makes its return, the new build with a capacity of only 136 guests, is expected to become a nice alternative for younger guests looking for a smaller cruise experience.
Sea Cloud Spirit is a modern sailing ship, offering guests plenty of space under the open sky, flexible dining times (both inside and outside), balcony cabins, an exclusive and spacious spa/wellness area, and an elegant interior-design combined with a classical yacht-style feel. However, like her sister ships, she will also incorporate a traditional sailing experience, sailing the way it was always meant to be done, by hand.
