Chief Executive Andrea Zito said: “Now entering our fourth year in West Africa, I believe Swan Hellenic has built something truly special. Few expedition cruise companies can match our knowledge and experience of this region, particularly in the most remote ports and expedition areas.

“We continuously refine the guest experience by listening to feedback and drawing on the deep trust we have earned with local authorities and communities in every country we visit.”
