Pierre Thomas, a highly experienced guide and lecturer who has led expeditions worldwide for over 26 years, has now found his home at Swan Hellenic. Pierre's extensive experience has earned him qualifications ranging from naturalist guide and dive guide to expedition leader. He has led expeditions on the water, underwater, and overland by motorbike, and lectures in five languages on topics as diverse as tropical fish, African history, the Panama Canal, and post-World War II Central American politics.
Pierre's extensive experience in expedition cruises with Linblad, Metropolitan Touring, Noble Caledonia, and Silversea has provided him with a strategic understanding of clients, practical experience, and an international network of expert colleagues. All of this will be invaluable in helping Swan Hellenic create a cultural expedition experience, both onboard and ashore, that reflects its pioneering heritage.
With a strong team and a backlog of three bespoke expedition cruises, Swan Hellenic is clearly on track to create a whole new high-end cruise experience from 2021 onwards and is already taking bookings.
“We are thrilled to welcome Pierre on board. With his tremendous experience and strong relationships with international experts, no one could be better positioned to ensure our passengers enjoy a unique cultural expedition experience, both onboard and ashore, that truly reflects Swan Hellenic’s pioneering heritage,” explained Swan Hellenic CEO Andrea Zito.
Pierre Thomas commented: “I am delighted to join the dynamic team bringing Swan Hellenic’s vision of cultural expeditions to life on a tremendous new five-star fleet. I look forward to contributing to the creation of a truly unique discovery experience – geographical, scientific, natural, cultural, and artistic.”.
