Swan Hellenic Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego) Cruise Reviews

Antarctica was the last continent for me to visit, I received an offer from Swan Hellenic and after some research, booked the trip. It was, simply put, AMAZING, a trip of a lifetime. Everything was top notch from the pre cruise hotel to the ship, the excursions, the food and the staff! The food was terrific, did you ever hear of king crab leg and lobster being served on a buffet, all you can ...

We had a great Antarctic expedition on the SH Vega. The ship is new so all the spaces are well-designed and attractive in a Scandinavian style. Our cabin was very nice. I loved the seating area and relaxing after the long day in front of the "fireplace", or taking a dip in the heated pool. Comfy beds and lots of storage in the room. For the expeditions, we made it out two times each day, ...

We booked the premium suite and every material item on the cruise ship is nice. Fixtures are well appointed, bed is wide and comfortable, service is top notch and excellent, expedition guides are super knowledgeable and friendly. So why the poor review? 1) The Captain made the decision to cut the last day of expedition and return to port early despite claiming rough seas except the day we ...

My wife and I have now been to 74 countries and all 7 continents, including 3 cruises at the age of 35 and I know we'll look back on this trip forever as the BEST thing we have ever done. The vacation itself included flights from the UK to Argentina where we boarded the SH Vega, bound for Antarctica. We originally said that Antarctica was a once in a life time destination but having been, we'd ...

We were the guests on Swan Hellenic's cruise this year and we have been on many other cruises too. We feel compelled to share our recent experience with Swan Hellenic Cruises (SH) and advise against recommending their services to you, particularly those hailing from the USA and Canada. Our disappointment with Swan Hellenic stems from several concerning issues that we believe potential travellers, ...

We chose this cruise because it was the most comfortable and luxurious ship going to Antarctica that *also* prioritized excursions and was the size that allowed all guests the maximum amount of time on the continent. Bigger ships have to stagger guests and avoid certain landings, smaller ships can't provide the onboard services or handle the drake passage that well. It's a new ship, built in 2022, ...

Just back from an Antarctica cruise on the SH Diana, January 2024. Highly recommend! The ship is beautiful. The scenery & wildlife are spectacular! Diana was new in May of 2023. The ship has all the modern technology and runs smoothly and silently. Comfortable cabins (more on that below) and well-furnished common areas. More importantly, SH has done an excellent job in recruiting guides and ...

This was a once in a life time experience and I can now say I have visited all seven continents. I chose Swan Hellenic because of the size of the ship and their expertise in expedition cruising. I was definitely not disappointed. The ship is beautiful with one of the best laid out staterooms I've ever been in. There is an abundance of storage, a fireplace, USB ports and both American and ...

The Swan Hellenic is well managed, the rooms on board are luxurious and comfortable, the service is good, and the expedition team has good experience and is very satisfied. Friends of Swan Hellenic cruise ship spoke highly of the experience on the Antarctic Peninsula, so I chose SH cruise ship to "Antarctic Peninsula + polar circle". The ticket is a price full package, cost-effective, the ship ...

Incredible experience! The excursions were so special and the ship was beautiful with art and natural decor everywhere. There was a big focus on education, conservation, and safety (there were 2 staff emergency drills during our two week trip). The staff was top notch, from the diverse expedition team to the exceptional staff. Everyone was so attentive and thoughtful and personable. Someone was ...
