If you are looking for a unique and unforgettable experience and see places that other cruise ships don't reach, chartering the SH Diana should be certainly on your list.


SWAN HELLENIC'S SH DIANA NAMED IN SUNNY CEREMONY IN AMSTERDAM, OFFERING UNFORGETTABLE CHARTER EXPERIENCES


I was thrilled to attend the official naming ceremony of the third ship of Swan Hellenic, the SH Diana, in Amsterdam. As I arrived at the port, I could sense the excitement in the air. The ship stood tall, gleaming in the sunlight, with its teal exterior and elegant expedition design. It was a sight to behold.







As I stepped on board, I was greeted by the friendly staff, who welcomed me with smiles and warm hospitality.



IMPRESSIVE EXPEDITION DESIGN


The interiors of the ship were tasteful as the generous and impressive exteriors, with a perfect blend of modern amenities and Scandinavian elegance. The attention to detail was evident in every nook and corner, from the luxurious cabins to the spacious dining areas. I was particularly impressed by the exteriors areas, which were perfect for an expedition cruise ship. The crow's nest was something truly spectacular, offering stunning views while navigating across ice in polar areas. The Basecamp was also incredibly well-designed and very spacious, with lockers and changing areas for expedition landings.

The naming ceremony was a grand affair, attended by senior management representatives, VIP guests, media, and members of the cruise and travel industry from across the world. Valerie Ann Wilson, founder and CEO of Valerie Wilson Travel, had the honor of naming the ship. As she broke the champagne bottle against the ship's hull, we cheered in excitement.


Swan Hellenic CEO Andrea Zito spoke about the exceptional quality of work by Helsinki Shipyard, which created this unique ship. He expressed his excitement about the new era SH Diana heralds, taking cultural expedition cruising worldwide. The naming ceremony was followed by a Gala Dinner onboard, marking the official launch of the new restaurant Maris, as part of a new partnership with JRE-Jeunes Restaurateurs.

It was a perfect fit for cultural and corporate events, as well as private occasions, in unique places that larger cruise ships could not reach.

CHARTER THE SH DIANA TO SEE WHAT OTHERS DON'T


The thought of chartering this ship for a special event or a private getaway was exciting. Imagine cruising to remote locations, exploring untouched landscapes, and experiencing different cultures, all in the lap of luxury. The SH Diana was not just a ship but a gateway to unforgettable experiences.


As I disembarked from the ship, I felt grateful for the opportunity to witness the SH Diana's naming ceremony.

With its exceptional quality and attention to detail, this ship is a perfect blend of elegance, luxury, and adventure.
