Classic Style & EleganceA Cruise with Voyages of Discovery or Swan Hellenic is unpretentious, peaceful and charming in its understated elegance. There are no casinos or extravagant theme nights, but spacious public rooms and restaurants, cosy and friendly bars, fi ne food and engaging entertainments.

Make the most of your day at seaDuring days at sea there is so much for you to do – enjoy a choice of informative lectures, fi lms and music recitals. Or you might simply want to select a book from the library and relax on deck, enjoy a board game or simply watch the world go by.

Attend a workshop, work out in the gym or indulge yourself in the Salon Centre. Savour the time to enjoy afternoon tea. A late afternoon talk from one of your Guest Speakers sets the scene for the ship’s arrival in the next port.
