Swan Hellenic’s flagship vessel, the 350 passenger Minerva, will visit 16 new destinations as part of its 2013/14 cruise programme.

In total the ship will sail to 184 ports next year.

To boost early bookings, the line is offering passengers 10% off selected cruises, free travel insurance, and those booking a higher grade Balcony suite will get a complimentary return chauffeur service to the UK airport or port on all cruises departing from February 13 2013.

Next summer, Minerva will be sailing from its home port of Portsmouth, to the Baltic, Norway, Spitsbergen, the British Isles, Iceland, France and Ireland.

These include partnership cruises that have been designed in conjunction with the National Trust and the Royal Horticultural Society.

Fly-cruises are also available, including the Black Sea and the Dalmatian coast and the Mediterranean.

Next winter, Minerva will cruise to the Caribbean, Central America and make a circumnavigation of South America. New ports of call include Havana, Santiago de Cuba and Casilda in Cuba, Cartagena in Colombia and the San Blas islands.
