This Swan Hellenic sale is out of this world offering the best prices on premium small ship luxury cruises that I have ever seen. Select cruises are below $4,000 per person! As Swan Hellenic is trying to make a splash in the luxury expedition and ocean voyages market with two brand new beautiful ships, they are disrupting the market by offering all inclusive fares and rock bottom prices. In fact, these prices are SO LOW that I cannot even publish them! I’ve sailed on the Inaugural of the SH Diana a few weeks ago and the ship was 100% divine. Pure luxury. If you’re looking to experience a 5 star small ship luxury cruise, but the price point as previously scared you away, now is your opportunity to save at least 1/2, if not more!
Contact me at Scott & Thomas Travel to save upwards of 50% off published rate, or what I like to call an unofficial BOGO sale! Ready to save big and live lavishly? Now is your chance to see the world in style and save big.
Why Choose Swan Hellenic
Swan Hellenic ships and cruises are different. They aren’t big ocean liners, but instead more like luxury yachts offer both cultural expedition cruises and polar expeditions. With between 150-198 passengers and a near 1:1 staff ratio, every cruise will be special. There are no lines or crowds. Instead, Swan Hellenic offers an intimate experience where you can get to know the crew and other passengers. Rooms sizes are spacious and the ships are really beautiful!
The ships also have everything you would expect and more. They have among the best food I’ve ever eaten at sea with a partnership with JRE-Jeunes Restaurateurs and Maris. The ships feature beautiful spas, pools, steam rooms and saunas, gyms, and more. Plus every expedition includes excursions in the cost, making this a well rounded vacation for much less than expected.
What’s included in the Price
Swan Hellenic cruises are also all inclusive. The price you see is the price you pay. Taxes and fees already included too. Everything from alcohol to Wi-Fi is included in the cost. There are no extra fees for staff appreciation or even room service. Eat wherever you want when you want without having to worry about specialty dining surcharges. There’s no room service fees either. The Swan Hellenic experience is second to none!

Another huge benefit of Swan Hellenic is that there is one complimentary excursion in each port. There’s upgraded premium excursions as well, but you will always have a free option. Don’t like either option? Just get off the ship and explore on your own. This too is possible.
Enjoy all the following benefits on every Swan Hellenic cruise built into the price for $0 extra!
- Regional flights to the port of embarkation and/or disembarkation (ONLY available for cruises starting or ending in Ushuaia, Longyearbyen and Kangerlussuaq)
- Group return transfers from the airport to the cruise port
- One-night pre-cruise accommodation with breakfast in a 4/5-star hotel

Bottom Line
Swan Hellenic is offering amazing deals on both the SH Vega and SH Diana. Swan Hellenic is a hybrid luxury cruising and expedition company which offers immersive experiences. Some itineraries which are like traditional ocean cruises others which are 100% expedition. With a focus on small ships, this is not your traditional cruise line or even expedition company. Their all inclusive prices means the price you see is the price you pay. You can really enjoy the entire experience without being nickel and dimed or uncharged. These prices starting at near 1/2 off the publish rate are out of this world!
The Swan Hellenic blowout sale has discounts so deep we cannot print them, but some are in the range of half price! Do the math, it’s a HUGE savings or 2 for 1! If you have flexibility to plan a vacation before the end of the year, now is your chance to save big. I personally really enjoyed my experience on Swan Hellenic and if anyone wants to experience small ship cruising in the polar regions and beyond, I cannot recommend Swan Hellenic enough. Contact me today to book your Swan Hellenic cruise at 1/2 price.
