Voices of Discovery: Guest Reviews

Each Swan Hellenic journey is designed to inspire curiosity, broaden horizons, and create lasting memories. Our guests' experiences bring to life the spirit of cultural discovery and exploration that defines our voyages.

I have always dreamed about going to the 7th Continent and see it by myself not in movies or series and even magazines so we made the decision to travel and selected Swan Hellenic for the size of Minerva and also because it was designed and produced in Finland. Is there a country that better understand the needs of such a remarkable and demanding place such as The Antarctic ?

Binho

My husband and I recently completed the "Antarctic Wonders" cruise on the beautiful SH Minerva. I can honestly say that everything about this adventure was extraordinary. It was our first "Expedition Cruise" and the whole experience was amazing from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend it to others without hesitation.

C and C Colorado

My Antarctica Wonders expedition with Swan Hellenic aboard SH Minerva was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first moment, airport pickup, to the final charter flight back to Buenos Aires, every detail was flawlessly handled. This is expedition cruising done right.

Senior Travel Adventures

This ship picked me. As a travel advisor I was given the opportunity to join several other advisors on this voyage. This line and ship are 5 star all the way. Fly from US to Argentina and after that Swan Hellernic took care of everything else. Transportation to hotel, hotel and meals before getting on ship as well as flight to get to vessel, all included in price of cruise. Alcohol beverages and tipping also included.
