Swan Hellenic has released details of its 2024 cruises featuring an in-depth exploration of the Arctic, Antarctic and Rest of the World.
Offering exclusive exploration opportunities worldwide on SH Vega, excursions extend from 8 days to 21 nights of semi-circumnavigation voyages, accompanied by seasoned guides and renowned experts, scientists and explorers.
SH Vega will explore the Antarctic Peninsula from Ushuaia until early March 2024, when she’ll steer west on an exceptional 21-day South Atlantic Semi-Circumnavigation cruise.
The vessel will bring guests to Gough Island – seabird capital of the South Atlantic – and Tristan de Cunha on her way to Cape Town, South Africa.
This epic voyage will be followed by cultural expedition cruises up the West Coast of Africa and on to Lisbon, Portugal, before coasting the Atlantic seaboard to Honfleur, France.
Celtic discovery voyages of Cornwall, Ireland, Wales and Scotland will then take SH Vega on into Iceland, Norway and the Arctic for her Summer Season.
In September, she’ll cross from Greenland to Halifax, Canada and southward to spend October and November deep in the Caribbean and Brazil through to the end of November 2024.
SH Diana, which is outfitted with tender boats as well as expedition zodiacs, will be based in Antarctica until late February 2024.
The ship will turn north into the Chilean Fjords and up the entire West Coast of South and Central America to La Paz, Mexico.
Returning south to take the Panama Canal to discover the real Cuba, she’ll proceed up the East Coast of the United States to Halifax, Canada.
From here, she’ll cross to Greenland in late May for her Arctic Season. Then, on the 20th of July, she’ll leave Tromsø, Norway, sailing south for the fjords, Scotland and Holland.
Making her way down the Atlantic Seaboard, she’ll enter the Mediterranean for in-depth summer exploration of the cradles of culture that inspired the creation of Swan Hellenic in the fifties.
In early October, she’ll transit the Suez Canal and Red Sea to explore the Seychelles, Madagascar and South Africa until late November.
The ship will leave Cape Town for the semi-circumnavigation voyage to the Antarctic Peninsula and Ushuaia, arriving in early December for the start of her next Antarctic Season.
There are so many bucket list attractions to choose from that it’s well worth exploring all these cruises
