Swan Hellenic Reveals 2027/28 Antarctica Itineraries After Best-Ever Season

Swan Hellenic’s growth continues to break records with its 2025/26 Antarctica season having seen 53% growth in guest numbers and a 66% increase in net revenue over the previous year. Bookings for its 2026/27 season are already at 65% of capacity and 20% above last year’s total.

In 2026/27, all three of its ice-class expedition ships – SH Minerva, SH Vega, and SH Diana – will operate simultaneously in Antarctica, the second consecutive year the line has had a three-ship fleet in the region. In total, Swan Hellenic will offer a choice of 33 voyages including 29 operating roundtrip from Ushuaia, lasting between nine and 17 days, plus four Grand Voyages.

Amidst this growth, the line has unveiled its 2027/28 Antarctica program, comprising 29 roundtrip Ushuaia itineraries of nine to 18 days and four Grand Voyage, the longest of which will be a 32-day Antarctica semi-circumnavigation from Ushuaia to Dunedin (New Zealand) onboard SH Minerva.

“We are thrilled with the outstanding results achieved this season and the positive trend for the year ahead,” said Andrea Zito, CEO of Swan Hellenic. “Our guests’ enthusiasm for the authentic discovery possible on our PC5 ice-class ships, and our team’s passion for delivering extraordinary journeys continue to drive our success in Antarctica.”
