70 years after its first pioneering cruise, Swan Hellenic is proud to return to the world’s waters with two brand-new expedition ships. The hardware will be cutting edge but the core values that underpinned the brand and served its guests so well from its inception remain in place, as does the passion for exploratory travel to the globe’s furthest far-flung places. The ships, built in the Helsinki shipyard in Finland, combine the latest polar ice-class technology with stylish sophisticated interiors. Chic, spacious and well-planned cabins feature generously-sized bathrooms, comfortable in-room dining facilities, and unobstructed views from staterooms and public spaces.
Swan Hellenic prides itself on taking its guests to see what others don’t, visiting small and lesser-known ports of cultural, geographical, or wildlife interest as well as bucket-list famous cities. Above all, guests visit many uniquely remote places beyond these ports of call, boarding Zodiac boats and exploring at sea level to come ashore in rich unspoiled areas of our planet that often cannot be accessed in any other way.
This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
