Swan Hellenic can confirm that during the cruise from Cape Town, South Africa, to Ushuaia, in South Georgia, there was a unexpected malfunction in one of the ship's two propulsion electric motor.
As a result of this technical issue, the captain changed the planned route on day 14 of the 21-day cruise. The three and a half planned days in Antarctic Peninsula had to be curtailed for safety reasons and the ship set a direct course for the next accessible port - Ushuaia, where it will dock on December 1st where an experienced team of technicians are ready and waiting to board to rectify the fault. The safety of our guests is always paramount and Swan Hellenic is doing all that is possible to get guests on their upcoming expedition as soon as possible.
