Swan Hellenic has unveiled a series of diving expeditions that enrich four of its exclusive East Asia voyages, each exploring Raja Ampat aboard the Minerva.

Swan Hellenic CEO Andrea Zito said: “It gives us great pleasure to extend our guest discovery beneath the waves on these four exceptional voyages.”

“They each bring a new dimension to exploration of the most biodiverse marine paradise on Earth and exciting new opportunities to see what others don’t,” added Zito.

The company said in a press release that diving enthusiasts with a PADI Advanced Open Water certification can choose from two sailings in 2026 and a further two in 2027.

Each of them offers multiple dive opportunities on custom adventure dive boats, accompanied by expert dive masters and an exclusive concierge service.

Complete quality equipment will be provided, from masks, fins and snorkels, to wetsuits, BCDs, regulators, weights and tanks.

All permits are also organized, so that divers only need to provide their own dive computers, travel, medical and dive insurance.

The company added that the dives in Palau Kri, Palau Fam, Palau Mansuar, and Ayu Atoll are organized with private dive boats that take divers directly from the ship to world-class diving sites.

All dive excursion packages are tailored to individual preferences, including full- or half-day options, starting at $250 for a single-dive excursion.

Enthusiasts who book any of these 2026 and 2027 sailings before the end of February can take advantage of Swan Hellenic’s generous Elevated Expeditions sale.

The first voyage in this special dive series is “Secrets of the Coral Triangle: West Papua and Raja Ampat,” departing from Sorong on April 18, 2026, and returning on the 28 after 10 nights exploring the Coral Triangle.

Following is “Heart of the Pacific Isles,” an 11-night cultural expedition cruise across and beyond the Coral Triangle, departing Sorong, Indonesia, on April 28, 2026, and arriving in Manila, the Philippines, on May 9.

The 2027 voyages follow the same itineraries and are also included in Swan Hellenic’s Elevated Expeditions sale:

• “Raja Ampat & Cenderawasih Bay: Indonesia’s Coral Triangle” departs April 16, 2027, and docks in Sorong on April 26, and
• “Raja Ampat and Philippines: The Last Paradise on Earth” departs Sorong on April 26, 2027, and arrives in Manila on May 7.
