SH Vega

Second polar class expedition ship SH Vega will set a course directly for Argentina after leaving Helsinki Shipyard in September where it joins SH Minerva for the 2022-23 Antarctic season. This itinerary remains unchanged, however the ship was originally scheduled to begin sailing in May.

Swan Hellenic CEO Andrea Zito said, 'While apologising to our guests for the disappointment this has caused and grateful for their understanding, we’re very proud of the exciting new itineraries and opportunities we’ve created for them to continue seeing what others don't.’
