British cruise operator Voyages of Discovery, operating the ship The Voyager, and its subsidiary, Swan Hellenic, operating the Minerva, ceased operations on Dec. 29. Travelers who had cabins reserved on scheduled 2017 cruises were given complete refunds.
The Swan Hellenic brand subsequently was purchased by G Adventures (Toronto, ON, Canada; 888/800-4100, www.gadventures.com), which plans to schedule sailings starting in 2018.
