    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.
