Swan Hellenic – www.swanhellenic.com part of All Leisure Holidays has over 50 years of cruising experience and a dedicated team of long standing employees both aboard mv Minerva and ashore. In August 1954 Swan Hellenic operated their first cruise under the direction of Ken Swan; Swan’s carried 128 passengers by train to Venice, where they joined the ship and cruised between Venice, Piraeus and the Aegean islands. Four classical history experts travelled with the party and gave a programme of lectures – thus began the Swan Hellenic tradition of cultural cruising.
Most recently Swan Hellenic has completed a multi-million pound refurbishment of their cruise shipmv Minerva. The improvements mark the beginning of a long term investment to enhance the ship’s specification for the benefit of passengers for the years ahead.
Swan Hellenic’s sister cruise brands include Voyages of Discovery, Hebridean Island Cruises, Travelsphere and Just You.
