If you are looking to experience the remote Polar regions or explore truly off-the-beaten-path destinations and cultures of our spectacular planet, then you are in great company. Swan Hellenic exists to provide its guests with authentic, intimate and unforgettable moments in extraordinary locations and remote landmarks. All the while enjoying a sophisticated elegant atmosphere onboard.
Swan Hellenic is an established, well-respected owner-operated heritage brand with more than seven decades of expertise in undiscovered destinations. With a vision to be the world leader in cultural expedition cruising, 70 years after its first pioneering cruise, Swan Hellenic is proud to return to the world’s waters with two brand new expedition ships.
Understated elegance might be another way of phrasing what awaits a Swan Hellenic guest.
Swan Hellenic prides itself on taking its guests to see what others don’t, visiting small and lesser-known ports of special cultural, geographical or wildlife interest as well as bucket list famous cities. Above all, our guests visit many uniquely remote places beyond these ports of call, boarding Zodiac boats and exploring at sea level to come ashore in rich unspoiled areas of our planet that often cannot be accessed in any other way.
About Explora Journeys (Ultra-Luxury Expedition)

EXPLORA II
(Alaska, Arctic, Canada / New England, Caribbean, Central America, Europe, Hawaii, Mediterranean, Mexico, Norwegian Fjords, Pacific Northwest, Panama Canal, South America, Trans Atlantic)
Explora Journeys, luxury lifestyle travel brand, has revealed a selection of experiences around the Mediterranean, with a unique blend of such well-known destinations as Ibiza in Spain, discovered through a different lens and lesser-known ports, rarely visited by cruise ships such as Calvi in Corsica, France or Kastellorizo in Greece.
At every destination, Explora Journeys will provide inspiring opportunities for guests to discover authentic Mediterranean cultural, historical, and culinary delights from an extraordinary perspective.
Experiences are tailored to small, intimate groups, from 2 to 25 guests. Always with an emphasis on exclusive, off-the-beaten-track encounters focused on a slower pace of travel to allow guests to fully immerse themselves in each destination, whilst not leaving their mark on the places they explore.
Explora Journeys Mediterranean Destination Experiences can now be booked as part of the Inaugural Mediterranean Journeys collection with departures starting May 31, 2023.
About Alaskan Dream Cruises (Expedition) Owned & Operated by An Alaskan Family
Alaskan Dream Cruises ~Ships & Destinations (Alaska)
Allen Marine, the parent company of Alaskan Dream Cruises, was established in 1970 when Bob and Betty Allen, and their five children, restored a ruined boat that became the St. Michael- the first in a long line of Allen Marine tour vessels named after saints of the family’s Russian Orthodox faith.
The sale of 19 vessels to NY Waterway represents the largest single export of manufactured products in the history of the 49th state. But it is just one of the remarkable achievements of this uniquely Alaskan family and the company they run. Allen Marine operates over 30 vessels, employs more than 300 Alaskans, and provides daily and week-long tours and cruises throughout Southeast Alaska, while building aluminum boats and structural products at its boat shop in Sitka.
