Have you ever noticed how spectacular the night sky is when you are at sea? It always looks like
millions of stars I have never seen before have suddenly filled the sky. Swan Hellenic Cruises is

meteorite shower from the middle of the Mediterranean.

Swan Hellenic Discovery Cruises Presents a Meteorite Shower from the Middle of the Ocean

Imagine the scene - miles away from land, completely devoid of light pollution, aboard one of the
world's most sophisticated cruise ships, viewing a meteorite shower from the middle of the
Mediterranean ocean.

Award-winning Swan Hellenic's state of the art cruise ship Minerva II is set to offer this unique
cruising experience. As well as visiting exciting destinations including Spain, Morocco, Italy,
France, Malta and Greece, guests on board this 15 - day cruise (departing from Cadiz on 6th August)
will witness a breathtaking astronomical phenomenon - a meteorite shower - while at sea.

Professional astronomer Dr. Malcolm Coe will be giving on board talks to guests set to experience
the meteorite shower entitled 'Astronomy Old and New, and Its Connections with the Sites Visited'.
Having worked for NASA investigating the Universe, published scientist Dr. Coe will ensure that
guests aboard Minerva II will have a once in a lifetime, astronomical experience.

Dr. Malcolm Coe is just one of the high-profile Guest Speakers that form an important part of the
Swan Hellenic discovery cruising experience. Alongside Dr. Coe on this particular cruise are the
former Reith Lecturer for the BBC and retired columnist for The Daily Telegraph Dr. Edward Norman;
Dr. Douglas Campbell, who currently lectures at Duke University, North Carolina and has a
forthcoming Channel 4 series in the pipeline based on Christianity's subversion of paganism; and art
historian Dr. Penny McCracken, whose speech will be entitled 'Moorish architecture in Andalusia; a
history of gardens'.
