travel42 Cruise Line Overview: Swan Hellenic

travel42 Professional Cruise Line Review

Originally a venerable British family company and now based in Cyprus, Swan Hellenic has origins that date back to the 1950s with serious cultural cruises centered in the East Mediterranean. The company was then sold to P&O, and that line was subsequently absorbed by Carnival Corp.'s takeover of P&O-Princess. Swan, a one-ship operation, was then disbanded and revived as part of the British All Leisure Group that also operates the Discovery and Hebridean Princess. The brand was again relaunched in 2020, building on its history of one of a kind cultural cruising tours.
