WE ARE EXPLORERS
We organize unique voyages to the most stunning places on earth. As proud owner of Tall Ship Wylde Swan and Tall Ship Noorderlicht we sail our vessels with a dedicated and motivated crew. In the early ‘90’s the people who preceded us were the first adventurers with the idea of travel with a classic Tall Ship to extraordinary destinations. Until then, there was no such thing.
Unique destinations
Swan Expeditions’ Tall Ships sail to unique destinations. What exactly makes a destination so special? If you can easily get to a place by car, then everyone can get there. That is not special and not the right place. If budget airliners go somewhere, you know for sure that you are in the wrong place. The exclusivity of beautiful areas often lies in their inaccessibility for the masses. The remote islands, deep bays and fjords frequented by Swan Expeditions’ Tall Ships are often only accessible by ship. You are going to experience something really extraordinary.
Traveling by ship
Traveling by sailing ship is an adventure in itself, apart from the unique destinations. You are immediately away from mass tourism. A few miles from shore your cellphone range is lost and you live in the present moment again. Sailing the Tall Ship together is very special and creates a wonderful bond with the other expedition members. With that team you will travel to the remote and undiscovered nature.
The combination of the Swan fleet and the destinations that only we can visit makes Swan Expeditions a special travel agency.
