0 Comments

 
 Swan Hellenic 's  new 5-star ship SH Vega will launch ahead of schedule in July, departing Helsinki Shipyard  for the cultural expedition cruise pioneer’s Arctic Summer Season.
 
Celebrating the elegant ice-class ship’s maiden cruises, Swan Hellenic has launched an Arctic Summer Season Sale that helps make this remote wilderness more accessible with reductions of up to 70% off  brochure fares for guests booking before 20th June.
 
For solo travellers the single supplement will be waived for bookings in the sale period. These substantial savings bring Swan Hellenic’s trade partners outstanding opportunities to boost their business.
The Arctic Summer Season Sale prices feature on the Swan Hellenic website where there is also  information on the  new SH Vega, including choice of Arctic cultural expedition cruises. 
Ranging from 9 to 20 days, these discounted maiden season cruises are an opportunity to explore the Arctic, from the Svalbard Peninsula to Iceland’s landscapes of ice and fire, Greenland’s dramatic majesty, the Northwest Passage and the wilds of Northern Canada. 
 
“We’re excited to launch this special celebration of our new purpose-built ice-class ship, which makes her extraordinary maiden cruises uniquely accessible and irresistible,” said Swan Hellenic CEO Andrea Zito. “We look forward to boosting our sales partners revenues and spirits in a challenging period, attracting new curious-minded adventurers to experience the Swan Hellenic difference.”
 
About Swan Hellenic
 Swan Hellenic was relaunched in July 2020 to  continue the spirit of cultural expedition cruising the company pioneered in the 1950s. 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’. 

Swan Hellenic's purpose-built ships feature elegant Scandi-design interiors, extensive outdoor spaces and dedicated expedition facilities. SH Minerva and SH Vega, two new 5-star Polar Code PC 5 expedition cruise ships with ice-strengthened hulls, respectively launched in December 2021 and arriving in September 2022, each 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 will arrive early 2023.

 
All three ships feature three dining venues;  the Swan Restaurant, Club Lounge and Pool Bar & Grill and are being built to comply with SOLAS Safe Return to Port requirements. Dedicated to guests with a passion for adventure and cultural exploration, the company’s meticulously planned itineraries explore landscapes, wildlife, people and unique cultures of the world’s less travelled regions. 
 
The crews each include a team of 12 seasoned expedition guides, expert speakers and lecturers for a total complement of 120 and 140 persons respectively, offering outstanding staff-to-guest ratios to deliver the highest standards of attentive personal service.
