SWAN Hellenic has partnered up with the SETI Institute to provide its guests with expert insights into the history and latest discoveries in astronomy, astrophysics, astrobiology and planetary science, and the quest to find other forms of life within and beyond our solar system.
The partnership will see SETI Institute experts join Swan Hellenic’s 2023 cultural expedition cruises, including Dr Simon Steel, a PhD Astronomer and Astrophysicist, who is planning to accompany SH Vega on cultural expedition cruises of Antarctica, the British Isles and Iceland.
Additionally, Bill Diamond, the President and CEO of the SETI Institute, is expected to accompany Swan Hellenic’s Arctic Odyssey cruise aboard SH Diana in Jun.
Guests aboard these cruises will be able to watch never-before-seen presentations on explorations around Earth and beyond, with SETI Institute equipment, including an advanced telescope, installed on board.
“The presence of the SETI Institute’s eminent scientists on board our cultural expedition cruises, imparting their expert knowledge of astrobiology, geology, physics, chemistry and astronomy, completes another facet of the quest to take our guests to see what others don’t,” Swan Hellenic CEO Andrea Zito said.
