For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that end in either New York or Boston.
Ports of Call: You can the type name of one port that you would like all your search results to include. For example, if you type Barcelona all of the search results will include cruises that include Barcelona (even if it's not a starting or ending port in the itinerary). Be sure to spell the port name correctly!
Max Occupancy: Allows you to view search results that only include ships that have accommodations for a minimum amount of people per room. For example, if you select "5 and more" your search results will only include ships that have at least one room type that would accommodate at least 5 people. The pricing that displays on the search results page will be the per person pricing based on a room for two people. Proceed further in the online booking process to view the pricing for accommodations for a different occupancy.

→ Cruise Only vs Cruise Line Tour
If you check the Cruise Only option, you will only see results that are for a cruise vacation. If you check the Cruise Line Tour option, you will only see vacations that include a cruise + land tour package (also known as a Cruise Tour). Leave both unchecked to view results that include both vacation types.

About Swan Hellenic
Swan Hellenic's story starts in the 1950s as Swans Tour Agency. Back then, it was a small British company operated by a father and son who came up with one-of-a-kind tour ideas, inviting guest lecturers and taking cruisers to unusual destinations they could explore firsthand. Such a combination of intriguing adventures with real experts and a refined onboard experience became the key feature of The Swan Hellenic brand.
Swan Hellenic cruises have a long history of operations. Swans Tour Agency amazed tourists with exclusive itineraries till 1983. Then the brand was a subsidiary of P&O and Carnival from 1983 to 2007. In 2007, it tried to get its first revival as a part of All Leisure Holidays Group (ALG). Ten years later, it was acquired by G Adventures. In 2020, the newly revived brand Swan Hellenic returns as an owner-operated cruise line promising a new fleet of expedition ships, unforgettable experiences, and luxury to travelers and focusing on exploring different cultures worldwide.
The Swan Hellenic fleet consists of the new luxury expedition ships built by Helsinki Shipyard in Hietalahti:
- SH Minerva was the first ship in the line, debuting in 2021 (she doesn't operate these days);
- SH Vega joined the fleet in 2022;
- SH Diana arrived in 2023.
Swan Hellenic offers an impressive selection of cultural expeditions to Iceland, Greenland, Antarctica, the Arctic region, Canada, Lands of the Celts, Lands of the Vikings, and more! Passengers can enjoy a smooth journey aboard modern cruise ships incorporating PC5 (SH Vega) and PC6 (SH Diana) ice-strengthened hulls and featuring extra-large stabilizers. Attentive crew and seasoned experts ensure every guest feels at home, while new hygiene technology protects the health of all on board so that everyone can enjoy every moment of the wonderful trip.
