Minerva of Swan Hellenic

Dedicated to letting adventure-minded
guests ‘see what others don’t’

Swan Hellenic was relaunched in July 2020 to proudly continue the spirit of cultural expedition cruising the company pioneered in the 1950s.

SH Minerva, the first of two new 5-star polar PC 5 ice-class expedition cruise ships, arrived in November 2021 and her twin sister, SH Vega, arrives in April 2022.

Both will each accommodate 152 guests in 76 spacious staterooms and suites, the majority with large balconies.

A larger PC 6 ice-class vessel accommodating 192 guests in 96 staterooms and suites in the same distinctive comfort and style as its sister ships will be arriving year-end 2022.

Building on its British roots, the new company has a global cultural cruising outlook dedicated to providing guests with the opportunity to “see what others don’t”.

For guests with a passion for adventure and cultural exploration, meticulously planned itineraries explore the wild landscapes, wildlife, peoples and unique cultures of the world’s less travelled regions.

Its ships feature elegant Scandi-design interiors, extensive outdoor spaces and dedicated expedition facilities.

The crew includes an expedition team comprising expert guides, speakers and lecturers, and numbering 120 and 140 respectively almost equals the number of guests, reflecting the high levels of attentive personal service provided.
