Overview
SH Minerva is Swan Hellenic's flagship expedition vessel, the first of three ice-strengthened Vega-class ships built at Finland's Helsinki Shipyard and launched in 2021. Carrying just 152 guests with a crew of 120, she pairs a polar-classed hull and hybrid diesel-electric propulsion with intimate, Scandinavian-inspired boutique interiors and a fleet of Zodiacs for landings. She continues Swan Hellenic's British cultural-cruising heritage, ranging from Antarctica and the Arctic to tropical waters with an onboard team of expedition experts and guest lecturers.
