A few days before, the production of the steel for the third and largest ship commissioned from Helsinki began, which has been given the project name of Vega 3 for the time being. The Swan Hellenic fleet is taking form in the time expected, to accompany adventurers and demanding travelers on an ample and unique cruise program, some already completely sold out. The objective is that of giving guests the opportunity to “see what others don’t see.” All three ships have been designed to minimize the environmental impact and comply with the latest emission standards.
