Deepak Chopra aboard SH Diana in New York as Swan Hellenic announces two new “Explore & Restore” cruises in Brazil

Last year, Swan Hellenic took the cruise and well-being world by surprise with the announcement of its transformative “Explore & Restore” voyages in partnership with Chopra, the wellness lifestyle vertical founded by Deepak Chopra. In response to this enthusiastic reception, Swan Hellenic and Chopra have collaborated to create two additional exclusive cruises that explore new horizons and meet surging demand.

The announcement was made on Wednesday, May 15th aboard SH Diana in New York City, after Deepak Chopra MD led an intimate session for guests attending the “Inner Connection” cruise to Halifax, Canada. The two exclusive new “Explore & Restore” voyages will explore Brazil’s natural splendors and cultural hotspots this coming October and November, and will be available in Portuguese and Russian as well as English.

“Charms of the Brazilian Coastline” departs Salvador de Bahia on the 31st of October for a 5-day round-trip voyage, exploring laid-back beach paradise Itacaré, the wildlife wonderland of the Abrolhos Archipelago Marine Park, and mesmerizing car-free Morro de São Paulo.

Soul, Samba and Sea: Journey to the Heart of Brazil leaves Salvador on the 4th of November. Following the Brazilian coast over 6 nights all the way down to Rio de Janeiro, this inspiring voyage takes in Itacaré, Trancoso with its UNESCO-protected main square and sandy white beaches, the Abrolhos Archipelago Marine Park and then cosmopolitan Búzios, known as the St. Tropez of Brazil.

The included activities and itinerary are created for inner-exploration both on board and ashore, and include daily yoga and meditation sessions, breathwork, group connection and post-excursion reflection, as well as self-discovery workshops, self-care practices and nourishing Ayurveda-inspired meals.

A key feature of “Explore & Restore” is that it unfolds in parallel with the Swan Hellenic cultural expedition cruise experience. This means guests can live different choices together. So wellness retreat fans can finally enjoy a vacation together with partners and friends that have quite different passions, knowing they will be equally thrilled by their Swan Hellenic experience.

The “Explore & Restore” program has been expertly designed to unveil each participant’s authentic self and ignite their path to purpose while traveling to the most captivating places on earth. Full details can be found in a special dedicated brochure and on the Swan Hellenic website.

Patrizia Iantorno, Chief Commercial Officer of Swan Hellenic, says: “These transformative cruises with Chopra have proven a fantastic success for those wanting to share an exceptional wellbeing retreat experience but also vacation contentedly with friends and family who have different interests. With these spectacular additions to meet astonishingly strong demand, they’re a wonderful expression of our commitment to deliver authentic experiences of inner and outer discovery worldwide.”
