SH Diana is the largest vessel in the Swan Hellenic fleet, purpose-built for expedition cruising while offering the comfort and elegance of a boutique luxury ship. Constructed at the Helsinki Shipyard in Finland, she combines advanced polar technology with sophisticated Scandinavian-inspired design, allowing guests to explore some of the world’s most remote regions without compromising on comfort. Her PC6 ice-strengthened hull enables operations in polar waters, from Antarctica and the Arctic to remote islands and coastal wilderness areas.
Designed to carry just 192 guests, SH Diana delivers a spacious and intimate onboard experience. Floor-to-ceiling windows, expansive observation areas and carefully designed public spaces ensure guests remain connected to the destinations they are exploring. The ship’s contemporary interiors feature natural materials, elegant furnishings and an atmosphere that reflects Swan Hellenic’s focus on discovery and enrichment.
Accommodation ranges from comfortable ocean-view staterooms to luxurious suites, with the majority featuring private balconies. Guests can enjoy multiple dining venues, a panoramic observation lounge, library, expedition facilities and lecture spaces where experts share insights into the regions being explored. The ship’s expedition program is complemented by a highly experienced team of naturalists, historians and destination specialists who help bring each voyage to life.
A standout feature of SH Diana is her extensive wellness offering. Guests can unwind in the panoramic sauna, relax in the outdoor Jacuzzi, swim in the infinity pool, visit the spa and beauty salon, or maintain their fitness routine in the onboard gym. These facilities provide a level of comfort rarely found on expedition vessels while preserving the adventurous spirit of exploration.
Whether navigating Antarctica’s ice-filled channels, exploring the Arctic’s remote coastlines or discovering lesser-visited destinations around the world, SH Diana offers a refined expedition experience that balances exploration, education and luxury in equal measure.
