Swan Hellenic SH Diana Cruise Reviews

I chose the Thalassa Tours European Western Seaboard cruise because I wanted to improve my understanding of part of EU history; Thalassa Tours chose to partner with Swan Hellenic which turned out to be a great decision. The small size of the ship (max 192 passengers) allowed it to enter some small, “non-standard” ports that larger cruise ships ignore. As my primary goal was shore excursions, I ...

We look back on an incredible trip on the SH Diana. A new boat that had just done its maiden voyage. We were welcomed to the boat by an enthusiastic team (the crew). The facilities on the boat were top notch. There were daily two trips by Zodiac to the various islands and there was also a daily briefing.

A highlight every evening was the lectures by on-board ...

The experiences I had aboard the SH Diana and with Swan Hellenic were second to none. I have met a LOT of ships in my lifetime as a long-time travel agency owner. This was my first small ship ocean vessel, and I am hooked. The dining was superb, the staff friendly and attentive, and the inclusions were over the top. See what others don't. You will love the "living room". The large screen ...
