Following the roaring success of its debut Asia-Pacific season, Swan Hellenic is back for more, bringing a massively enriched 2027 line-up to the table
The boutique operator has bumped its cultural expedition voyages up from five to a whopping ten, all taking place aboard the stylish, Scandi-designed SH Minerva. If that wasn't enough to tempt your clients, there’s also the time-limited 'Asia Unlocked' offer to shout about. Secure a booking by November 9th, 2026, and guests will bag a free upgrade to a balcony stateroom alongside complimentary Gold Wi-Fi.
Running from March to October 2027, the expanded season promises some serious bucket-list exploration. The big news? Two brand-new New Zealand voyages have been added to kick things off, alongside deep dives into Japan and South Korea towards the end of the season.
Whether it's swimming alongside giant whale sharks in Indonesia's Cenderawasih Bay, marvelling at the naturally fizzing waters of Champagne Beach in Vanuatu, or exploring the haunting World War II sites of the Solomon Islands, these itineraries are bursting with culture, history, and raw nature. Plus, ambitious explorers can stitch itineraries together to create their own ultimate Grand Voyage.
Mario Bounas, Swan Hellenic’s chief commercial officer, noted, "We’re proud to be more than doubling the number of our cultural expedition voyages in the Asia-Pacific for 2027."
