Swan Hellenic is increasing its investments in Latin America, particularly focusing on Brazil as a key market.

The company aims to deliver unmatched travel experiences across various global destinations.
Swan Hellenic is enhancing its investments in Latin America, particularly Brazil, as evidenced by the appointment of Gustavo Benetti as its new sales director for the region. “The company is really investing in our markets,” Benetti stated during an event in Brazil, emphasizing Brazil’s potential as a key market. The investment strategy encompasses marketing efforts and establishing a significant physical presence in Brazil, noting the lack of similar focused companies in the area.
Benetti pointed out the company’s ambitious expedition plans for the region. “Later this year, we’ll return to Antarctica via the Caribbean,” he shared, highlighting unique itineraries that include stops in the Amazon, Belém, and the scenic Lençóis Maranhenses. These experiences are portrayed as unparalleled in the cruise industry, underlining Swan Hellenic’s competitive edge.
One notable itinerary planned involves a 19-night expedition onboard SH Vega from Barbados to Salvador, set for mid-October 2025. Participants will visit UNESCO-listed heritage sites such as Paramaribo and Iles du Salut, alongside ecological reserves in Rio Cajari. The SH Vega, accommodating 152 guests, will navigate the Amazon River, with planned stops in Macapá and Aquiqui.
Having joined Swan Hellenic earlier this year, Benetti brings 18 years of experience from the travel sector, previously holding a position as a business development manager with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Brazil. His insights indicate that Swan Hellenic is also promoting global itineraries beyond Latin America. “Our slogan is ‘See What Others Don’t,’” he added, affirming their presence across various continents, including Antarctica, the Arctic, and the Caribbean.
Swan Hellenic is actively expanding its footprint in Latin America with significant investments aimed at enhancing its market presence, particularly in Brazil. The company plans unique expeditions to iconic locations, positioning itself uniquely in the cruise industry. With a seasoned new sales director at the helm, the brand is also promoting a broad range of itineraries worldwide, emphasizing its commitment to delivering exclusive travel experiences.
