Swan Hellenic announces massive Arctic season sale to celebrate early launch of SH Vega

SH Vega’s maiden cruises will form cultural expedition cruise pioneer’s Arctic season, launched with incredible savings and commission incentives to support our travel partners

Nicosia, Cyprus: Today, Thursday May 5th, 2022, Swan Hellenic announced that its new 5-star ship SH Vega will launch ahead of schedule in July, departing Helsinki Shipyard immediately to carry the cultural expedition cruise pioneer’s Arctic Summer Season.

Celebrating the elegant ice-class ship’s maiden cruises, Swan Hellenic has launched a special Arctic Summer Season ’22 Sale that makes this remote wilderness more accessible than ever, with savings of up to 70% off brochure fares for guests booking before June 20, 2022.

Solitary adventurers haven't been forgotten either, with the iconic company recognizing their single-minded desire to explore by waiving the customary single supplement. 

At the same time, to support our Travel Partners, Swan Hellenic is offering 20% commission on all new bookings. In addition, for every new booking, travel partners will receive a $250 per guest bonus commission.  

The Arctic Summer Season ‘22 Sale prices are featured on the Swan Hellenic website to heighten interest in this special occasion. And of course the website also provides full information on the elegant new SH Vega, enabling guests to explore her refined comfort and exceptional amenities together with the wide choice of extraordinary Arctic cultural expedition cruises created. 

Starting from just $ 4,688 per person and ranging from 9 to 20 days, these extraordinary savings for SH Vega’s maiden season cruises are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the magic of the Arctic, from the Svalbard Peninsula to Iceland’s landscapes of ice and fire, Greenland’s dramatic majesty, the Northwest Passage and the wilds of Northern Canada. 

“We’re excited to launch this special celebration of our new purpose-built ice-class ship, which makes her extraordinary maiden cruises uniquely accessible and irresistible,” explained Swan Hellenic CEO Andrea Zito. “We look forward to boosting our sales partners revenues and spirits in a challenging period, attracting new curious-minded adventurers to experience the Swan Hellenic difference.”

About Swan Hellenic

Swan Hellenic was relaunched in July 2020 to proudly continue the spirit of cultural expedition cruising the company pioneered in the 1950s. Building on its British roots, the new company has a global cultural cruising outlook dedicated to providing guests with the opportunity to ‘see what others don’t’.

Swan Hellenic's purpose-built ships feature elegant Scandi-design interiors, extensive outdoor spaces and dedicated expedition facilities.

A slightly larger PC 6 ice-class vessel, SH Diana, accommodating 192 guests in the same distinctive comfort and style in 96 staterooms and suites will be arriving in early 2023.

All three ships feature 3 dining venues – the Swan Restaurant, Club Lounge and Pool bar & Grill – and are being built in full compliance with SOLAS Safe Return to Port requirements.
