Minerva will be refurbished between 23 November 2011 and 29 February 2012. This is a visionary multi-million pound upgrade which will take Swan Hellenic and Minerva forward into the next era. Without increasing the number of berths or the number of passengers on board, innovative design will give added space and comfort. The new specification will feature an increased number of balcony cabins raising the number from 12 to 44, and an upgrade of all 181 ensuite passenger cabin facilities.
