The cruise ship Vega of Swan Hellenic, built in Finland, is a new-generation expedition cruise ships. Vega, at 10,250 tons, Vega accommodates only 152 guests in spacious staterooms and balcony suites. The low guest density results is one of the most generous indoor and outdoor space-to-guest ratios among cruise ships.
Vega has been designed to be environmentally friendly, will be certificated as Clean Ships, and will meet the stringent requirements of the new Polar Code. Its PC5 Category A ice-strengthened hull and other technical and mechanical attributes allow it to cruise around the world in safety and comfort. Technologically advanced hybrid engines make it possible for the ship to cruise in ecologically sensitive areas, leaving minimal footprint, while a computer-controlled Dynamic Positioning System makes it possible to stay in position without dropping anchor, thus avoiding the possibility of damaging underneath marine life. Operated by a complement of experienced European officers and international crew members, Vega will be equipped with a fleet of Zodiacs, kayaks, and a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) that will reveal marine life in the deep.
All staterooms and balcony suites face outside and will be equipped with private facilities, climate control, TV, Wi-Fi and USB connections, ample closet space, as well as other amenities. Public areas include several lounges; a restaurant that will accommodate all guests at one seating; an outdoor café/bar that surrounds the heated swimming pool; a wellness facility with a gym, spa, and sauna that includes an adjoining outdoor jacuzzi; library; beauty salon; an infirmary that is attended by a resident medical doctor and nurse; and a “mud room” with lockers for storing cruise gear. The ship will also feature expansive open-deck areas. Attentive service will be provided on a 24-hour basis. Vega is owned and operated by Swan Hellenic, one of the most storied travel and cruise companies. Thalassa Journeys is Swan Hellenic’s exclusive partner in North America.
