Vega is a beautiful small ship and the captain was excellent.The staterooms are well appointed, comfortable & clean.Food was very good & the crew was attentive & friendly.The itinerary brought us to pristine, sometimes remote locations. The expedition team endeavoured to prepare us with information about each stop. We saw stunning fiords, waterfalls, glaciers, whales, walruses , seals , reindeer, 2 polar bears & 2 puffins. And many species of arctic birds. A very memorable trip.
Swan Hellenic Vega is definitely a ship to cruise on. Recently traveled from Halifax to Iceland. Amazing itinerary with numerous and enjoyable excursions. What sets them apart for me is the amazing crew and staff. I didn't once meet a crew member who did not have a friendly greeting and wide, warm smile. The restaurant and bar staff paid attention to every detail and catered to our every request. Food was excellent.I highly recommend Swan Hellenic. It was our first cruise with them, but it won't be our last.
it was outstanding experience, I really felt special. the room was wonderful, it was clean, big and the bed was so comfy, the service was amazing, the staff were so helpful, the itinerary was chosen perfectly, the meals in the restaurants was delicious and comprehensive, lots of variety of food. I will definitely repeat this experience.
We have just returned from Antarctica, on an expedition cruise with Swan Hellenic, on board the SH Vega. The entire experience was faultless from seamless transfers, to a wonderful ambience on the supremely comfortable ship, impeccable service, excellent food and awe inspiring vistas. The expedition team & off-ship experiences were outstanding to ensure the wildlife sightings were plentiful. Thank you; Antarctica with Swan Hellenic is highly recommended.
The cruise was very well organized. We were transported by private charter flight from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia smoothly, even though the flight was delayed due to weather. The transfer from Ushuaia airport to the cruise ship was also smooth. Disembarkation at Cape Town was smooth, but delayed - on account of a large cruise ship docking ahead of us.A combination of relatively good weather (for Antarctica/South Georgia), an excellent Expedition Team (Nikki, Alex, Mark, Dimitry, Kevin, Ruth, amongst others), the efficient/wonderful staff of SH Diana (including Ana, Sona, Grace, Rossele, Eller and Erson) and the fabulous food by Executive Chef Amit Rao and his team, made the trip a once in a lifetime experience. Dr.Mila, our friendly on board doctor, could be seen making the rounds of the ship and greeting the passengers, on a daily basis.We were able to do all of the scheduled itinerary (with last minute tweaks on account of weather), including a full one and half days at Tristan da Cunha/Nightingale Island. Informative talks by the Expedition Team made the time spent on board very interesting. The cabins were very comfortable and the cabins/public areas kept spotlessly clean. Zodiac excursions/transfers were handled efficiently.I would definitely recommend this trip with SH Diana to the adventurous.
We loved our 21-day cruise across the South Atlantic. Knowledgeable and helpful staff, comfortable and spacious cabin, plenty of activities, excellent food and drinks.Only downside is the cost of a decent internet connection.
Somehow the whole crew irrespective of role seemed to be focused on making sure every guest had a great experience. This encompassed all aspects of the cruise, the expedition, food and drink, accommodation and the voyage itself. Nothing was too much trouble and no effort spared.This helped create a very pleasant atmosphere throughout the cruise which enhanced experiencing the wonders of Antarctica.
