Swan Hellenic operates three ice-strengthened expedition ships carrying fewer than 200 guests. SH Minerva and SH Vega accommodate 152 guests, while SH Diana carries 192. Scandinavian-inspired interiors, wide views and dedicated expedition facilities support a programme that combines polar exploration with culturally focused voyages across warmer regions.

the experience
On board between landings
Expedition facilities and Zodiac access support time ashore, while panoramic lounges and open decks keep the surrounding landscape visible from the ship. Between outings, guests have access to dining, sauna and other public spaces, with lectures and specialist interpretation continuing the day's themes on board. The balance shifts by itinerary, from wildlife-led polar voyages to more culturally focused coastal journeys.
THE Destinations
A route map beyond the poles
Antarctica and the Arctic are major parts of the programme, but Swan Hellenic also sails in Africa, Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Polar itineraries use the ships' ice-strengthened design and Zodiac access, while warmer-water voyages place greater emphasis on coastal history, communities and culture. The result is a broader expedition map than a purely polar operator.
