Login Looking for next level expedition cruising? SH Diana is just what you need! The newest addition to our fleet combines cutting-edge technology with stylish, sophisticated design, and the ship’s special ice-resistant PC6 hull means it’s able to visit some of the world's most inaccessible regions. This new generation polar class ship is our largest, and features elegant interiors – including exclusive onboard art – wide unobstructed views, a spectacular grand staircase, and dedicated expedition facilities, so you can explore the world in style and comfort.
We've been on large ships and river cruises- but this was the best! The ship is small, elegant and luxurious. Rooms are good size, with a sofa seating area and lots of closet space. We also had a balcony. A highlight was the nightly lecture in the lounge area (also available on your tv). These presentations covered upcoming tours and the local culture of the area. In addition, we lucked out and had a wonderful guest speaker, Dr. Jeffrey Rouse, who presented 3 lectures on brain health and longevity- plus he was available and friendly throughout the cruise for questions. Be sure to take advantage of the spa area: hot tub, sauna and steam room. Massages and hair salon are a great treat, for a reasonable fee. A wonderful amenity was the complimentary guest laundry room. 3 washers, (detergent dispenses automatically) dryers and irons! We did laundry several days - only the day before departure did we have to wait about an hour for a machine. But no worries- just leave your clothes there in a basket, go have a drink and come back! Food was excellent and available throughout the day. The best part was the staff- so attentive and helpful. We prefer room service for breakfast, and it was always right on time. The waiters at dinner were very efficient, and always there to fill your wine glass! There is also a complimentary full service bar on deck 7. The bartenders were knowledgeable and terrific at creating a friendly, welcoming atmosphere! The ships photographer took pictures on the tours and they are available for us to download. What a pleasant surprise! We are already looking for our next SH cruise!
My wife and I enjoyed an incredible cruise with Swan Hellenic visiting and hiking the Norwegian Fjords. It was everything we expected and more. The staff was highly professional and very helpful and friendly, the food was delicious, and the cabin was plenty big and had an incredible amount of storage space!!! Our Steward, Chris, crafted two “love” swans out of towels and placed on our beds in honor of our 50th wedding anniversary! Their ports of call for the most part were very small villages which we really enjoyed visiting. Their activities were well managed and on time. SH Diana is a great ship, and very modern. They offered a number of lectures which were very informative, and two lectures highlighted the Viking era which made the tour come alive even more. Our only suggestion would be for them to offfer better lotion in the bathrooms. We would love to do a tour with them again in the future!
The ship is incredible. It is only 3 years old so feels brand new. Staff was exceptional. Really went over and above to make sure guests were taken care of. I don’t think Seabourne could be beat but this cruise did. Cabin was very comfortable with more storage than we could possibly use. Our Steward Hilda made sure we always had our favorite drinks and snacks. Everyone called us by name which was a lovely touch The speakers they had on healthy lifestyle for aging and sleep as well as Vikings were interesting and entertaining. We did not do optional excursions because the ones included were enough for us. We wish we had more time to just enjoy time on the boat. Sauna was beautiful. We did not take part in the fjord plunge but it was fun to watch. Spa services included massage, reflexology and haircut all great. This was not a cruise for children so no children’s programs which was appropriate Will definitely cruise with Swanhellenic again
Great Antarctica, South Georgia and Tristan Da Cunha expedition cruise. Very capable and knowledgeable team, captain Vlad and the crew, hotel management with Oliver as a leader and excellent kitchen with delicious meals and Amit, the best chef.. Exceptional expedition guides team with safe and reliable landing, trekking, polar plunge, Zodiac cruising, kayaking and story telling. Everyone has an interesting personality and life experience from Mark as a tour leader to every team member. Lecturers and scientists were great, highly experienced and knowledgeable. Spa and sauna on the deck 8 were excellent amenities to watch the wild life passing by while immersed in 38 degrees C warm water Vincent on the piano was very good. Wild life experts were always there and helpful to find the marine mammals, birds and geology patterns either from the observation deck or during the landing. Thank you for incredible cruise and unforgettable memory. Great photos and videos to last forever. Highly recommended to any adventurers and travelers.
Fantastic cruise , our expedition team were very knowledgeable and delivered an amazing itinerary. The guest speakers onboard were also specialists in their fields of expertise ( whales, fish, birds and geology). Overall they delivered thoughtful lectures on what we would see plus the history and future of Antarctica. The staff on board were excellent, friendly and helpful., even opening your stateroom door when we returning cold and tied from our zodiac excursions. The ship had a family feel about it with staff quickly learning your name and preferences. Cabins were beautiful, well designed with plenty of storage space. Coffee machine and separate kettle for those who prefer tea. Mini fridge stocked with soft drinks and beer, a home from home after coming back from the wonderful zodiac cruises and landings on Antarctica. Considering the size of the ship the main restaurant offered plenty of choice at every meal. The quality of food was excellent , we even had fresh lobster following our stop in Tristan da Cunha. Disembarkation was also easy as bags did not need to be out the night before. Our flight home was early evening and we were allowed to stay on the ship until our transfer arrived mid afternoon. Overall the cruise met and exceeded my expectations, so much so that we are planning to cruise with them again next year to the Artic.
