Expedition cruise specialist Swan Hellenic has announced that its SH Minerva ship is back in its fleet, following routine maintenance.
SH Minerva will now set sail in November to join her sister ships SH Vega and SH Diana in Ushuaia, Argentina, where she will begin the 2025-2026 Antarctic winter season.
Then, in March 2026, she will launch Swan Hellenic’s first ever Asia-Pacific Season, taking its award-winning cultural expedition cruises to new horizons that expand its adventurous guests’ discovery opportunities worldwide.
The new in-depth explorations of the Asia-Pacific region include the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Raja Ampat, Indonesia, the Philippines and Japan, offering unforgettable experiences that range from primitive art, ancient rituals and anthropology to historical WWII sites, wildlife, snorkeling and watersports adventures.
“We’re delighted to welcome back our flagship SH Minerva,” says Swan Hellenic CEO Andrea Zito. “A symbol of Swan Hellenic’s rebirth, her inaugural Asia-Pacific Season will take us to fly our flag across the globe, reaching every ocean and continent. It’s a moment of immense pride for us.”
