The British shipping company Swan Hellenic has presented its program of expedition cruises until autumn 2026, focusing on exclusive routes with destinations that no cruise ship has ever visited before.
The new destinations include nine locations worldwide, including Hermana in South Africa and several remote regions in Gabon, Angola and Norway. The two modern ships SH Diana and SH Vega, which only accommodate 152 to 192 passengers, are characterized by their high maneuverability and their ability to reach remote locations, even in ice zones.
A highlight will be the first call at Hermana in November 2025, where passengers can expect nature and animal observations, including whales and penguins. Rarely visited destinations such as the Italian island of Pantelleria, Nosy Vao in Madagascar and river regions in the Amazon will also be included in the offer. Swan Hellenic focuses on exploration and nature experiences, off the beaten track and with special ecological and cultural insights for travelers.
