Swan Hellenic: on board with scientists
Swan Hellenic offers its guests expedition cruises to the polar regions aboard its newest expedition ships, recognising that exploring these regions of the planet is a rare privilege.
This is because ecologically sensitive parts of the world face enormous daily challenges due to climate change. Scientific research is therefore crucial, both for the future of these regions and for the future of the planet, although it is often limited due to the high costs involved.
This is how Swan Hellenic‘s Citizen Science programme comes into play, representing an important opportunity for both the scientific community, Swan Hellenic, and its guests.
Scientists thus travel to the polar regions on board expedition cruise ships using the onboard expedition laboratory, but above all, they also involve guests in their research, thus giving them a research experience in the polar region, deepening their understanding and appreciation of the remote areas they are exploring.

The programme also provides guests with a library and an expedition office containing a wide selection of scientific literature where they can further their knowledge.
Moreover, at Swan Hellenic, the polar experts focus on a single goal, namely to ensure that guests return home having had the most authentic experience possible. This is why Swan Hellenic’s lecturers and guest speakers are carefully selected to give engaging and inspiring talks on a wide range of topics that are relevant to each itinerary. Expert knowledge will be imparted and explanations are given on the scientific, geographic, and historical features of the polar regions, enabling guests to fully embrace the wonderful environments in which they are travelling.
