    SH Minerva Overview

    SH Minerva

    SH Minerva - where exploration begins

    SH Minerva is the first of Swan Hellenic’s new-generation expedition ships, designed to carry just 152 guests in an intimate and thoughtfully planned setting. Built to PC5 ice-class standards, she is purpose-built for exploring remote regions, from Antarctica and the Arctic to culturally rich coastlines across Europe and beyond.

    With her smaller size and carefully considered design, SH Minerva offers a more personal style of cruising. For Australian travellers, she provides a quieter, more immersive way to explore the world, where each journey feels unhurried, enriching and deeply connected to place.
