Swan Hellenic is taking cultural expedition cruising to the next level, adding a full world‑class golf program to its 6‑night Atlantic Horizons: From Portugal to the Canary Islands voyage aboard SH Diana, departing Lisbon on 7 September 2026. Golfers can now play five iconic courses across Portugal, Morocco and the Canary Islands, perfectly paired with Swan Hellenic’s signature immersive shore excursions and small‑ship luxury.
Golf at Five Iconic Courses
During the cruise, guests can pre‑book individual rounds or opt for a dedicated five‑course golf package, gaining privileged access to some of the region’s most scenic and challenging layouts. Highlights include:oto courtesy
To cap it all off, Swan Hellenic will present a Voyage Golf Award, adding a touch of friendly competition and a keepsake to remember the week’s rounds.
What’s Included in the Golf Package
Swan Hellenic’s golf program is designed as a turn‑key experience, with nearly every detail handled for guests. Each booked round includes:
- All transfers between ship and course
- Green fees and use of manual trolleys
- Driving range warm‑ups where time permits
- Halfway refreshments provided by each club
The line also provides full care and handling of golf equipment, including baggage handling, shoe shining and golf club cleaning, so players can focus solely on their game. Electric trolleys and e‑carts are available on request at an additional cost, subject to each club’s availability.
Crucially, the schedule has been crafted to allow approximately 4.5 to 5 hours per 18‑hole round on foot with a trolley, ensuring a comfortable pace of play without rushing or compromising the overall cruise experience. Guests can also customise their trip by adding extra rounds beyond the core five‑course package.
Pricing, Elevated Expeditions Offer and Group Perks

Swan Hellenic has negotiated special golf pricing of US$375 (around AU$530) per course or US$1,500 (around AU$2,120) for the complete five‑course package. Golf can be layered on top of the 6‑night Atlantic Horizons cruise fare, which starts from US$4,025 (around AU$5,689) for guests booking under the line’s Elevated Expeditions promotion.
For a limited time, the Elevated Expeditions sale combines:
- Cruise fare savings of up to US$1,500 per stateroom (itinerary‑dependent)
- Free Wi‑Fi upgrades
- Onboard credit (up to US$500 per stateroom on select sailings)
Additional benefits are available for groups of eight or more golfers, making this an attractive option for golf societies, friends’ trips or hosted group departures.
Perfect for Golfers and “Golf Widows” Alike
As Swan Hellenic CEO Andrea Zito notes, “Nothing about Swan Hellenic is just par for the course,” and this new program is crafted to appeal not only to golfers but also to their non‑golfing partners. While players are on the fairways, other guests can dive into the line’s hallmark cultural and nature‑focused shore excursions in Lisbon, Lagos, Casablanca, Essaouira, Agadir, Lanzarote and Puerto del Rosario.
That balance makes the Atlantic Horizons golf cruise a compelling “have your cake and eat it too” option: enthusiasts can tick off bucket‑list courses across three countries, while everyone onboard enjoys Swan Hellenic’s boutique expedition style, refined hospitality and enriching destination programme.
