Swan Hellenic, the expedition cruise line that was relaunched earlier this year, said it has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Tam Wing Kun Holdings Limited to provide a direct presence in Asia, the company said in a statement.

Tam Holdings represents many of the world’s leading airlines and logistics companies in Asia through offices or partners in China (Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Hong Kong, Taiwan) Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia. It has been in business more than four decades.

“The partnership is a strategic agreement in line with Swan Hellenic’s long-term approach of establishing a direct presence in every market worldwide to offer the close personal service to which it is committed,” the company said.
