A SENSE OF FAMILY
Founded as a family business by the father of our current president, R K Swan, Swan Hellenic is still distinguished by its all-important personal touch. Our guests prize the friendly and attentive service provided by our long-established team, many of whom served on Minerva or on Orpheus before her. Our years of cruising in traditional country house style have built up a unique rapport between passengers and crew, creating a distinctive and rewarding ambience and delighting our regular travellers with a special sense of homecoming as they relax amongst welcoming smiles and familiar faces on board Minerva.
SEAMLESS SERVICE
Complete confidence in your holiday is one of the supreme luxuries of travelling Swan Hellenic style. Under the personal supervision of our dedicated team, every detail of your comfort and convenience is assured - from the moment of greeting at our exclusive airport check-in to the final farewell, when we see you off safely on the last stage of your journey home.
From start to finish, it's all plain sailing in the spacious yet intimate environment on board Minerva. You'll find everyone here takes a pride in being of service in every possible way: your cabin stewardess will take excellent care of you throughout your time on board; staff with expert local knowledge will be happy to guide your choice of excursions and will be there to help when we go ashore - while the ship's own Information Desk is open round the clock to answer every query or deal swiftly with any problems that arise.
Mealtimes are the signal for superb service too. You'll enjoy being pampered by our deft and friendly waiters, equally adept at presenting a silver service, four course dinner or a cooling cocktail beside the pool.
When evening comes, our entertainments team is every bit as eager to please. The Minerva Band loves to strike up personal requests for after-dinner dancing; our pianist is delighted to add your favourite pieces to his repertoire and, on some cruises, members of the crew get together to stage their own colourful and popular show.
