When you choose a luxury expedition cruise with Swan Hellenic, you’re guaranteed authentic, intimate and memorable moments in spectacular remote locations!

Let me help you decide and then help you plan your entire trip for you. With access to insider information, including promotions and additional perks that may not be available to the general public, I’m equipped to help you plan every detail of your trip, including your cabin reservation, international flights, transfers and pre- and post-cruise accommodations, and even excursions and dinner reservations, thus saving you the hassle of doing all the research and reservations yourself.

Sustainability is top of mind for Swan Hellenic
What makes Swan Hellenic Expedition Cruises sustainable?For Swan Hellenic, sustainability is always top of mind. The company lives and breathes this through advanced engineering of their vessels, onboard practices, and partnerships. Their fleet of small ships is designed to create as little impact as possible on the environments explored by guests who are also encouraged to practice sustainability. Find out about the 9 ways Swan Hellenic is practicing sustainability below.
9 ways Swan Hellenic is practicing sustainability.
- Their vessels are battery-ready for future emission-free, silent sailing, which will be especially important for wildlife and marine reserves. These vessels were built looking to the future, beyond any requirements, so that when the technology is ready, the fleet will be ready to embrace it.
- Swan Hellenic ships use diesel/electric hybrid propulsion.
- Dynamic Positioning allows them to remain in position without anchoring, which would disturb environments.
- Their ships include advanced waste water treatment systems onboard.
- No paper printing onboard (unless asked). Swan Hellenic embraces technology onboard, and has interactive TVs in staterooms and around the ships that display the daily program.
- Single-use plastic has been eliminated onboard. Every guest receives a stainless steal refillable water bottle, and there are water-filling station around the vessels.
- There are no “toys” onboard, such as helicopters or submarines, and that is very deliberate. They do not want to further disturb the environments they explore.
- Swan Hellenic recently launched a partnership with the Philippe Cousteau Foundation, jointly working toward the EU Mission of Restoring the Oceans and Waters by 2030. One of the ways they are working together is by using their vessels as “ships of opportunity,” hosting scientists onboard when they are travelling to remote places such as the Arctic and West Africa, so they can conduct important research that will contribute to pushing important initiatives forward.
- Swan Hellenic involves their guests in climate research in partnership with initiatives like NASA’s Citizen Science Program.
