Swan Hellenic has announced plans to add a new expedition vessel to its fleet next year.

Diana will join the line's other expedition vessels – Minerva (above) and Vega – next year

Diana – which is set to enter service in early 2023 – comes following the launches of Minerva in November 2021 and Vega in July 2022. 

Operated by a team of 140 crew, Diana will be able to accommodate 192 guests across 96 staterooms and suites.

The vessel features a multifunctional room next to an observation lounge, a private dining room and two tenders – an alternative to Zodiacs for expedition landings.

The line’s three expedition ships will sail a series of voyages across the Arctic and Antarctic regions throughout 2023, as well as a number of new itineraries to New Zealand, Japan, Brazil and Southwest Africa.
