On November 23, 2021, Swan Hellenic christened its new ship, SH Minerva, at the Helsinki shipyard. The godmother was Johanna Mäkelä, Finland's first professor of food culture.
The SH "Minerva" has left the dry dock of Helsinki Shipyard and has been launched. Her sister ship, the SH "Vega", was moved into dry dock on the same day.
The shell of the SH "Minerva" is completed in the workshops of Helsinki Shipyard Inc. There are still a few detail works to be done in the exterior area
February 11, 2021 marked the keel laying of "SH Vega", the second of three specially designed expedition cruise ships from Swan Hellenic.
The story of the construction two ships has caused quite some confusion. We were then contacted by Swan Hellenic and we were promised an clarification of the situation.
Russian Vodohod and British Swan Hellenic announce that they have commissioned two expedition ships. Looking at those, the ships are clearly the same ships.
