Swan Hellenic has announced an enriched 2027 season, featuring its new Asia Unlocked offer, which offers a free upgrade to a balcony stateroom and “Gold” Wi-Fi for every new booking made by November 9, 2026.
The season will see the launch of 10 voyages sailing on the Minerva in New Zealand to Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Raja Ampat, the Philippines, Japan and Korea.
“We’re proud to be more than doubling the number of our cultural expedition voyages in the Asia-Pacific for 2027,” said Swan Hellenic Chief Commercial Officer Mario Bounas.
