Features

When you cruise aboard the SH Vega you will enjoy outstanding onboard amenities, all delivered with a touch of luxury and outstanding service.

 

Staterooms – your home away from home

Your stylish, spacious en-suite stateroom is your luxurious home from home – a place to relax and recharge for the next day’s adventures. Soft wood fittings, earthy tones and textures and well-placed lighting features make the rooms a place of retreat, rather than just somewhere to sleep and through your window or floor-to-ceiling balcony doors you will be able to admire the ever-changing scenery.

Expect supremely comfortable beds, luxurious bathrooms, ample storage and a separate living area and bedroom.

 

 

 

Expedition Laboratory

Swan Hellenic invites guest scientists to work from their own mini laboratory while they are travelling. Guests are welcome to interact with these scientists and learn more about the environments that they are exploring.

 

 

 

Library and expedition office

Expeditioners can follow up on their learnings in the ship's onboard library which contains a large selection of scientific literature.

 

 

 

Fitness

Fitness is a key part of the daily routine for many. Just because you’re on holiday your wellbeing routine need not stop. 

SH Vega’s state-of-the-art gym will please the most discerning of fitness fiends. Here, you will find everything from cardio machines and stretch bands to weights. There’s also a range of instructor-led classes. Why not try a morning stretch class or book a fitness assessment with one of the specialist body coaches? 

You don’t have to be pounding the treadmill to enjoy our fabulous on-board fitness and spa facilities. Relax and revive in the sauna, outdoor pool or one of the jacuzzis and book yourself in for a healing massage or facial. 

The fitness areas are spotlessly clean, with luxurious changing facilities, water and towels provided.

 

 

 

Excursion Tenders

No stone is left unturned when it comes to researching shore excursion programmes. All aspects of the itinerary are carefully planned in detail by a knowledgeable, well-travelled team to ensure each aspect of the expedition is delivered to the highest possible standard. 

Swan Hellenic has thought of all their guests, including the less mobile. Their 12-person hard-hulled zodiacs, the boats that take guests off the ship, have been designed for increased comfort and manoeuvrability so that everyone can get up close and personal with their majestic surroundings.

As well as our daily zodiac excursions there are opportunities for polar kayaking and trekking and for the brave… The Polar Plunge.
