About SH Diana

SH Diana is Swan Hellenic's largest ship, a newer-generation polar vessel built at Helsinki Shipyard and in service since 2023. She measures about 125 meters and 12,255 gross tons and carries 192 guests in 96 staterooms with 141 staff, with a Polar Class 6 hull, a grand staircase, onboard art, a heated infinity pool, a sauna, outdoor hot tubs and an observation lounge.

She sails Antarctic expeditions from Ushuaia in the southern summer and Arctic voyages in the northern summer.
