SWAN HELLENIC & THE NATIONAL TRUST

Swan Hellenic has been defining the art of discovery cruising for more than 50 years. Each cruise on mv Minerva is a unique, cultural travel experience, blending worldclass sites with smaller, off the beaten track destinations.

Travelling in comfort and ease with around 320 other like-minded passengers aboard Minerva, your floating country house hotel, is remarkably good value including all tips on board and ashore, as well as tailor-made cruise books and supporting documentation. A programme of tailor-made shore excursions is included in the cruise fare, with excursions accompanied by experienced Swan Hellenic staff – including those who have planned your cruise.

Swan Hellenic's long established and renowned guest speaker programme illuminates days at sea, while open seating dining means you can ponder ancient mysteries and contemporary issues with like-minded travellers as well as your fellow guest speakers.

Other daytime options might include painting, writing or singing workshops, joining a yoga or tai chi class, or browsing the extensive reference and fiction library and losing yourself in a good book. Evenings include fine dining, classical oncerts and after dinner talks, plus occasional entertainment from ashore.

When booking your Swan Hellenic cruise as a National Trust member, please ensure to quote National Trust at the time of booking or brochure request to ensure your special savings are added.
