SWAN Hellenic’s Diana has departed from Ushuaia on her first dedicated Antarctica cruise of the season, after the repair of her propulsion motor (CW 03 Dec).
Diana recommenced sailing late last week, completing a series of final sea trials and a minor adjustment in the Beagle Channel, before proceeding on her first dedicated Antarctic expedition cruise of the 2024/25 season.
Swan Hellenic was forced to make repairs to Diana after the Antarctica leg of a 21-day cruise from Cape Town had to be abandoned following a malfunction with the ship.
The cruise line said it is certain the delay will not lead to reduction in the time scheduled for exploring the Antarctic Peninsula.
“We are pleased that the prompt and efficient coordination of all parties involved on board and ashore enabled Diana to depart for Antarctica with less than about 40 hours’ delay,” Chief Executive Andrea Zito said.
