As Swan Hellenic is still fairly new on the expedition cruising scene, coming back after a 10+ year hiatus, they are trying to regain market share and attract customers who may otherwise travel with Lindblad Expeditions, Hurtigruten, or Viking.
Yet what sets Swan Hellenic apart, is that they are unlike G-Adventures or a budget line. They are more like Atlas Ocean Voyages, or SilverSeas expeditions. Truly making a splash in the luxury expedition and ocean voyages market with two brand new beautiful ships.
