Designed for Discovery, Refined for Comfort

The Swan Hellenic Minerva is a next-generation expedition ship created for travelers who want to go further—without giving up comfort, style, or substance. Purpose-built for polar regions and remote destinations, Minerva blends ice-class engineering with understated luxury, delivering access to some of the world’s most extraordinary places in a quietly sophisticated setting.

Onboard, the atmosphere is calm, contemporary, and thoughtfully designed. Public spaces are bright and open, cabins are sleek and comfortable, and every detail feels intentional rather than flashy. This is not a “floating resort”—it’s a refined basecamp for exploration, where the focus stays on the places you’re visiting, not distractions onboard.

What truly sets Minerva apart is the expedition experience itself. Expert-led teams of historians, scientists, and naturalists guide landings, lectures, and Zodiac excursions, turning each day into a deeper understanding of culture, wildlife, and landscape. It’s immersive, intelligent travel—perfect for curious travelers who want their adventure to feel meaningful, not manufactured.
