Floating ships on dense clouds?

Making a world where you live in the air, as the surface is not survivable (Venus-like) but there are mountains which serve as islands. I'm gonna leave out the story of the planet as it's not important.

So could it be possible for a ship-like structure to "float", maybe with the help of some tanks filled with lifting gas such as hydrogen (not as big as today's zeppelins in proportion to the weight they carry though), on dense clouds or rather could dense enough "clouds" like this form on an alien planet?

What environmental factors would have to exist on such a planet, things like a dense atmosphere maybe even with different layers etc. for these clouds to form and could they support a ship-like structure? (They don't have to be "clouds" as we know them on earth, I use this term loosely)
