Swan Hellenic has introduced Celebration Voyages, a new service allowing clients to transform significant life moments into personalized experiences while exploring remote global destinations aboard their luxury boutique vessels.

“We’re thrilled to offer this transformative service. It’s the ultimate expression of our passion to take people to celebrate what’s special in their lives with those closest to them, exploring the most extraordinary places on earth,” said Swan Hellenic Chief Commercial Officer Patrizia Iantorno in a press statement.

As its name implies, this offering enables travel advisors to book customized celebrations for clients marking virtually any important occasion—from birthdays and engagements to professional milestones such as workplace promotions or product launches. The service extends to friendship reunions, bachelor and bachelorette gatherings, honeymoons and anniversaries, providing travel advisors with versatile booking options for diverse client needs.

The Celebration Voyages program allows for complete personalization of the cultural expedition cruise experience. Travel advisors can arrange various enhancements for their clients, including couples’ massages, private fine dining experiences, musical performances, exclusive expert talks and individualized expeditions ashore.

The service builds upon Swan Hellenic’s Love Aboard packages, which debuted on Valentine’s Day 2025. Those packages focused specifically on romantic ceremonies at sea, while this expanded offering allows travel advisors to book a broader range of celebratory occasions.

The hands-on support from Swan Hellenic’s team adds substantial value for travel advisors selling these experiences. Clients receive full assistance with preference selections, after which the company’s specialists handle every detail.

Swan Hellenic’s boutique Scandi-design ships create an elegant setting for these celebrations. Each vessel is designed to connect guests with their surroundings. Clients can enjoy their personalized festivities while traveling from Mediterranean coastal areas to African shores and polar regions.

Among Swan Hellenic’s boutique-cruise offer is their Old World Gateways to the Atlantic that sails nine nights from Lisbon to Portsmouth, with stops in Porto for private wine tastings, Ferrol to explore a 16th-century castle and naval museum, then on to Santander and Brittany for Mont St. Michel tours and creperie visits—plus expert talks and one shore excursion at every port. The Exploring Svalbard cruise departs Longyearbyen under the midnight sun for a week of museum visits, seed-vault tours and expedition landings on Nordaustlandet and Edgeøya to spot polar bears and walrus, with optional kayaking and onboard photography workshops. Finally, the Historic Ports of the Western Seaboard journey from Greenock to Dublin includes Belfast’s Titanic Quarter, a Highland distillery tour, guided hikes off Connemara, VIP entry to Galway’s Spanish Arch and castle visits in Kinsale, capped by a group reception overlooking Dublin Bay.

Across all voyages, Celebration Voyages allows travel advisors to arrange private dining, live music, expert lectures, spa treatments and custom excursions ashore. Swan Hellenic’s expedition specialists handle every booking detail, ensuring advisors can present seamless, one-of-a-kind experiences that align with clients’ celebratory visions.
