I just discovered a new expedition cruise line: Swan Hellenic. They offer bold, intriguing cruises, exclusive lecturers, and sophisticated onboard comfort, sailing to destinations from the wilderness of the polar regions to the incredible landscapes of Africa and Latin America.
I also found their partnerships with Chopra (founded by Dr. Deepak Chopra) and JRE-Jeunes Restaurateurs (collective of passionate young chefs pushing the boundaries of taste and creativity) offer unique opportunities to tap into the worlds of well-being and extraordinary cuisine.
Take a look below and let me know if something sparks your wanderlust. I'm here to help!

The Swan Hellenic Experience
Swan Hellenic was relaunched in July 2020 to proudly advance the spirit of cultural expedition cruising the company pioneered in the 1950s. Building on its British roots, the new company has a distinctly cosmopolitan culture dedicated to providing guests with global opportunities to see what others don’t.
Swan Hellenic's purpose-built boutique ships feature elegant Scandi-design interiors, extensive outdoor spaces and dedicated expedition facilities. SH Minerva and SH Vega, two 5-star Polar Code PC 5 expedition cruise ships with ice-strengthened hulls, launched in December 2021 and July 2022. Both accommodate 152 guests in 76 spacious suites and staterooms, the majority with large balconies. A slightly larger PC 6 ice-class vessel, SH Diana, accommodating 192 guests in the same distinctive comfort and style in 96 staterooms and suites, was launched in April 2023.
Swan Hellenic’s cultural expedition cruises have always been distinguished by the company, guidance and expert lectures of famous explorers, seasoned expedition guides and leading authorities in their fields. Now, many of the cruises are also enriched by partnerships with unique organizations to bring very different experts on board in the same way, including JRE-Jeunes Restaurateurs, Chopra and the SETI Institute.
