About Swan Hellenic Cruises
Swan Hellenic has been perfecting the “Art of Discovery Travel” since 1954 when the Hellenic Society approached Swan's Travel Bureau to arrange a cruise to the Greek Islands. Swan Hellenic Cruises offer a great range of less well-known locations, as well as popular cities and bays. The planned itineraries for Minerva II passengers take in some of the most diverse scenery, cultures and historical surroundings.
Swan Hellenic Cruises are known for inclusive value for money, as all tips and gratuities are included and a choice of bespoke excursions is available at every port. However you can choose to explore independently using the information in your individual Cruise Book.
Swan Hellenic Cruises refer to Minerva II as a “floating country house”, with beautiful rooms in an atmosphere of understated sophistication. Their style of cruising has won the cruise line numerous awards. Minerva II was designed with comfort in mind; the ship's leather armchairs and wood paneling make it feel like a home from home.
As well as benefiting the mind and the body; workshops, demonstrations and the Spa offer the ideal opportunity to make new friends with fellow travellers. Every guest speaker; including diplomats, ecologists, art historians and writers, has been selected for their ability to communicate in an entertaining and stimulating manner as well as for their knowledge and experience. These interesting and exciting talks take place in the Lounge during the day.
Minerva II's Spa provides a comprehensive range of body and beauty treatments so you can pamper yourself onboard. If you just want to relax by the pool you can help yourself to one of the 4,000 books that you will find in the well-stocked library. Two Gallery Shops provide everything from gifts and clothing to everyday essentials and the Internet Area allows you to keep in touch with home.
On Swan Hellenic Cruises you will experience the finer things in life, and with four restaurants onboard the ship, there is something to suit all tastes. With highly experienced staff and a touch of sophistication, the Dining Room will offer you a dining experience that you will never forget. The Swan Restaurant has earned a good reputation in creating fusion dishes from all over the world. You can dine on deck at 'The Bridge', which has a relaxed dining atmosphere during the day and becomes more elegant at night. At The Grill you can enjoy steak, fish, or a variety of à la carte dishes.
In the evenings in the lounge classical music and jazz concerts, dramas, comedy and lively operetta take place. The Wheeler Bar is traditional in its furnishings but has a club-like atmosphere
