SWAN Hellenic’s 350-passenger Minerva has
returned to service following a multi-million
pound refurbishment.
The upgrade is the first major work to
Minerva since her original remodelling when
she went from being the spy ship called Okean,
to her current incarnation.
As a result of the latest upgrade, Minerva
now boasts 32 new balconies on existing
cabins (increasing the number of balcony
suites by 23%), a new forward facing
observation lounge and bar titled the ‘Orpheus
Lounge’ on the top deck, and a new dedicated
internet lounge.
The upgrade also saw an extension to the
popular Shackleton Bar, the placement of a
new outdoor walk round promenade deck, and
the installment of new en-suite facilities in
every cabin.
“Minerva’s renovations mark a new chapter
in the long history of Swan Hellenic and
underline All Leisure Group’s commitment to
the future of this popular ship, enabling it to
remain at the forefront of cultural discovery
cruising for years to come” said Colin Stone,
Managing Director of Swan Hellenic.
“We took onboard feedback from our
passengers,” he added.
Minerva will kick off her 2012 season with a
series of spring cruises around the Canary
Islands, Mediterranean and Black Sea.
