For those who know Swan Hellenic, a cruise aboard the newly refurbished Minerva is the ultimate in well-planned and meticulously executed discovery cruising. With more than 50 years’ experience this British company has perfected the art of small ship discovery cruising to a point where every cruise delights, surprises and satisfies curious minds – and where you can be assured of travelling in comfort and style, backed up by high standards of service from friendly staff in our two UK offices and on board Minerva.

A Swan Hellenic cruise also represents excellent value for money, with so much included in your cruise fare: flights to and from Minerva (where applicable), a considered, tailor-made itinerary to fascinating ports of call that includes evenings in port and overnight stays, an integrated programme of shore excursions, a stimulating programme of Guest Speaker talks, a Swan Hellenic on board team to ensure that each day of your cruise lives up to expectations, all gratuities on board and ashore and all port and airport taxes.

Small enough to reach out-of-the-way ports, yet large enough to make light work of crossing the great oceans, Discovery and Voyager avoid the excesses of today’s mega-liners. Instead they have been expressly conceived for our special brand of discovery cruising to create an atmosphere on board that is friendly and relaxed.
