Swan Hellenic Announces Exciting 2026-27 Raja Ampat Diving Expeditions

Swan Hellenic has announced a series of diving expeditions set to enhance four of its exclusive East Asia voyages, specifically focused on exploring Raja Ampat aboard the Minerva. CEO Andrea Zito expressed excitement about offering guests the opportunity to discover the underwater wonders of this biodiverse marine paradise.

The expeditions cater to diving enthusiasts holding a PADI Advanced Open Water certification, with two sailings available in both 2026 and 2027. Each voyage provides multiple diving opportunities using custom adventure dive boats, accompanied by expert dive masters and an exclusive concierge service. Divers will be provided with complete quality equipment, including masks, wetsuits, and tanks, while all necessary permits will be arranged by the company.

The dives will visit top diving sites such as Palau Kri, Palau Fam, Palau Mansuar, and Ayu Atoll. Packages are customizable, with options for half- or full-day dives, starting at $250 for a single-dive excursion.

Guests who book these sailings before the end of February can benefit from Swan Hellenic’s Elevated Expeditions sale. The first voyage in this series, “Secrets of the Coral Triangle: West Papua and Raja Ampat,” departs from Sorong on April 18, 2026, and returns on April 28 after ten nights of exploration.

Following this, the “Heart of the Pacific Isles” cruise will last 11 nights, departing Sorong on April 28, 2026, and arriving in Manila on May 9. The 2027 voyages mirror these itineraries, also available under the Elevated Expeditions promotion.
