EXPLORING WITH HEAD AND HEART

Swan Hellenic revolutionized cultural expedition cruising in the 1950s, when they accompanied members of the Hellenic Society on explorations of ancient Greece, guided by renowned scholars. Their first trailblazing voyage was such a success that more journeys soon followed, establishing Swan Hellenic as a leader in offering adventurous, intellectually stimulating trips paired with expert lectures and refined onboard experiences.
