Swan Hellenic unveils latest Explore Space at Sea series

Cultural expedition cruise pioneer Swan Hellenic is renowned as the choice of adventurous minds who want to explore in-depth around the world. Today, Swan Hellenic has announced full details of its unique Explore Space at Sea Series, which reaches further and deeper, including into the far reaches of space, thanks to a unique partnership with the SETI Institute, which began life with NASA’s Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence program (SETI) in the eighties.

Each of these extraordinary cruises provides Swan Hellenic guests with expert insights into the history and latest discoveries in astronomy, astrophysics, astrobiology and planetary science, as well as the quest to find other forms of life within and beyond our solar system.

The 2025 series will feature nine renowned SETI Institute scientists, one per cruise and each with their own very special perspective. Accompanying guests on their expeditions and delivering thought-provoking lectures aboard, the SETI Institute scientists also mix and socialize with guests throughout their voyage in the Swan Hellenic tradition.

Patrizia Iantorno, Chief Commercial Officer of Swan Hellenic commented: “We’re very proud to unveil our 2025 Explore Space at Sea cruises with our partners at SETI, offering nine very different opportunities for curious minds to see what others don’t, both on Earth and beyond”.
