Discover the ends of the Earth aboard SH Diana

The call of distant horizons with the SH Diana by Swan Hellenic

Launched in 2023, the SH Diana is the refined jewel of the Swan Hellenic fleet, an expedition ship of 12,100 tons accommodating 192 guests in an atmosphere of intimacy and sophistication. Designed by Tillberg Design of Sweden and equipped with a Polar Class 6 hybrid hull, the SH Diana perfectly combines polar exploration with modern elegance. The SH Diana embodies a vision of travel where silence, Scandinavian design, and personalized service blend into an experience of emotion and beauty.

The art of living at sea

Havens of light and calm

Aboard the SH Diana, the suites are designed as elegant and intimate cocoons where the sea becomes a companion to every awakening. From the 20 m² Oceanview cabins to the 41 m² Premium Suites with balcony, each space breathes harmony: soft tones, blond woodwork, luxurious bedding, and refined marble bathrooms. The perfect balance between discreet technology, contemporary comfort, and infinite views creates a deep sense of absolute serenity.

Dialogues between sky and sea

The spacious lounges of the SH Diana celebrate light, openness, and conviviality. The panoramic observation lounge, the serene library, and the expedition theater are crafted to blend sharing and contemplation. The ship also features an innovative science laboratory, an immersive briefing room, and a research center dedicated to studying nature and local cultures, enriching each journey with meaningful discovery.

The horizon as promise

On the decks of the SH Diana, the voyage continues beautifully in the open air. A heated pool, relaxing jacuzzis, sun loungers, and a marina for zodiac or kayak excursions create seamless harmony between exploration and leisure. With its PC6 ice-class hull, the ship glides easily through polar waters, while hybrid engines minimize noise and emissions in harmony with nature. At night, the observation deck becomes a celestial stage for the Southern stars and the Northern Lights.

Flavors of the world and gourmet moments aboard the SH Diana

The emotion of taste in motion

The SH Diana reinvents gastronomy at sea: its main restaurant blends local inspiration and exceptional expertise through an exclusive collaboration with JRE–Jeunes Restaurateurs. In a bright dining room open to the endless horizon, the chefs craft refined and seasonal menus that evolve gracefully with the regions explored. Fresh ingredients, artistic presentation, and discreet service make each meal a moment suspended between culture, beauty, and emotion.

The art of savoring the world

Each itinerary of the SH Diana inspires a vibrant new palette of global flavors. Under the warm sunlight at the outdoor grill or in the gentle calm of evening, guests discover dishes influenced by the traditions encountered along the voyage: Nordic touches, aromas of Southern Africa, or Mediterranean accents. The à la carte service and emphasis on local ingredients turn every meal into an immersive exploration of the spirit and soul of the visited lands.

Under the stars, the brilliance of silence

When evening descends softly upon the SH Diana, the lounges glow with a hushed and refined atmosphere. The Club Lounge offers cocktails inspired by each destination, while the panoramic bar transforms into an observatory of shimmering light and soothing music. The ship also offers a cozy fireplace nook and a reading space overlooking the ocean, perfect for extending the evening’s calm. 

To the ends of the world and the soul of travel

Cultural encounters and inspiring lands
