Caring for the future now
The wellbeing of our beautiful planet is at the core of Swan Hellenic's beliefs.
At Swan Hellenic, we recognise the world is facing complex challenges, and we are committed to doing everything we can to help preserve it. Our sustainability policies, actions and alliances are fully compliant with, and exceed, the United Nations' global standards. Because our policies extend beyond what is required, our voyages are some of the most sustainable in the world.
We focus on six areas, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: reducing the environmental footprint of our operations; combatting the causes and mitigating the effects of climate change; conserving the health and biodiversity of our rivers, seas and oceans; helping preserve the natural beauty and cultures we encounter; respecting and connecting with the places and communities that host our expedition cruises; and providing assistance to educational initiatives in the regions we explore.
Responsible cruising
Wherever possible we reduce the environmental footprint of our operations, in line with and beyond International Maritime Organization and Cruise Lines International Association standards. We aim to protect the ecosystems we encounter and conserve the integrity of the natural and historical sites we visit.
Climate action
We encounter dramatic evidence of global heating and climate change on our travels, and this spurs us on to combat their causes and alleviate their effects — through our own operations and through dedicated initiatives that let guests join us in conservation and climate research.
