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.

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.
