Swan Hellenic announced the launch of a one-month celebration offer for all couples bookings made between the 15th of February and 15th of March. So adventurers can spread the Saint Valentine spirit through the year and on into memories that last a lifetime.

Here’s how it works: Treat yourself and your loved one to a romantic voyage of discovery aboard either of the cultural expedition cruise pioneer’s brand new 5-star ships, and Swan Hellenic will treat you to your own fare to celebrate. That’s right, love is still in the air – one of you will cruise for free.

This two-for-one celebration is the perfect gift for amorous adventurers with a thirst for the Arctic and beyond to see what others don’t, being available for a wide selection of the company’s cruises throughout 2022. *Terms & Conditions apply. Subject to availability.

Now lovers of life, wild places, wild species and of course each other can enjoy a gift that will keep the romance alive year after year. Because love isn’t a moment, it’s a journey.  As Swan Hellenic CEO Andrea Zito explained: “We wanted to create a celebration that follows on from Saint Valentine’s Day, extending its romantic spirit for the young at heart, the adventurers with a thirst for life who inspired the creation of cultural expedition cruising. There could be no better time to spread the love, collecting emotions and getting more connected to our earth!”

Swan Hellenic was relaunched in July 2020 to proudly 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 May 2022, each accommodate 152 guests in 76 spacious suites and staterooms, the majority with large balconies. A slightly larger PC 6 ice-class vessel accommodating 192 guests in the same distinctive comfort and style in 96 staterooms and suites will be arriving in early 2023.

All three ships feature 3 dining venues – the Swan Restaurant, Club Lounge and Pool bar & Grill – and are being built in full compliance 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 the wild landscapes, wildlife, peoples and unique cultures of the world’s less travelled regions.

The crews each include a team of 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.

Headquartered in Cyprus with offices in London, Dusseldorf, Monaco, Fort Lauderdale (serving the North America market), Hong Kong (serving Greater China and South-East Asia), Sidney (serving Australia-New Zealand) and Copenhagen (serving Scandinavia and Iceland), as well as partnerships serving India and Japan, Swan Hellenic supports the travel trade with specialist local partners to provide customers with expert personal service worldwide.
