Swan Hellenic

Full speed ahead into adventure

From the wilderness of the polar regions to the landscapes of Africa
and Latin America - the expedition shipping company Swan Hellenic takes you to the most exciting places in the world.


The German poet Matthias Claudius once said:
"When someone goes on a journey, he has a story to tell." Those who travel with Swan Hellenic not only experience unforgettable adventures at unusual destinations far off the beaten track, but also enjoy sophisticated luxury and very personal service. The fleet currently includes the SH Vega and the slightly larger SH Diana. With 54 and 96 outside & balcony cabins and veranda suites respectively, they are comparatively small ships that are ideal for sailing to sensitive paradises. From the spacious outdoor areas on deck, you can experience everything the respective surroundings have to offer up close. In order to really experience the unique destinations, Zodiac landing boats take guests to the paradisiacal locations in small groups. Of course, 2024 also has some fantastic routes in store.

The SH Diana, one of the world's most modern expedition cruise ships,
will be sailing on four routes in the Mediterranean from August 20: the 5-star ship's itinerary takes it from Palermo, Sicily, to Limassol, Cyprus - the voyages can also be booked in combination. From 24.06. - 07.07. and 28.07. - 10.08., the SH Vega will sail through the rugged Westfjords of Iceland with their steep cliffs, deep valleys and spectacular waterfalls. The island of Jan Mayen, which is uninhabited apart from a small weather station, will be explored. The SH Diana sails into the heart of the Seychelles, far away from the crowds, from 7 - 16 October. Some of the remote 115 islands are visited, and there are also opportunities for diving, snorkelling and surfing, while on land you can experience the habitat of giant tortoises, pink flamingos and red finches.




Up to 15 people become part of an expedition team,
a German-speaking expedition guide is always on board to ensure seamless communication. During the voyage, several lecturers on board will fascinate guests with lectures on their specialist subjects such as history, biology and geology, providing them with exciting insights into unknown worlds. A small but ultra-modern laboratory on board offers the opportunity to experience science up close. Guests can actively participate in the research work carried out here. In addition to unique experiences, the luxurious shipping company also offers first-class comfort. The all-inclusive concept on board promises not only culinary highlights, but also an overnight stay in an upscale hotel before the journey on the high seas. This means that guests can start their journey on one of Swan Hellenic's impressive ships feeling relaxed and refreshed.




The stylish cabins with separate living and sleeping areas
are more than just a place to spend the night. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling balcony doors provide a view of the ever-changing landscape. The expeditions also leave nothing to be desired in culinary terms. In keeping with the 5-star standard, a unique culinary concept has been developed in collaboration with JRE - Jeunes Restaurateurs Maris. The world-famous chefs from the gourmet association set new standards with their signature dishes at the gala dinner. A further cooperation exists with Chopra, a leading company for integrative health. Together they have created Explore & Restore - a new program that offers holistic travel at its best. With yoga or meditation, everyone can find their inner explorer.
