RMS St Helena Terra Nova Expeditions 4134

Originally built to serve one of the world’s most remote communities, the St Helena carries a proud maritime legacy of resilience and connection. British-built and extensively refurbished in 2022, this small expedition ship combines seafaring heritage with modern comfort. With a capacity for 150 but carrying just 98 guests, she offers a spacious yet intimate atmosphere, where newly updated cabins with ocean views and inviting social spaces provide a welcoming base for adventure. Her panoramic lounges, open decks and refined interiors make her a uniquely character-rich platform for exploration.

Designed for discovery, St Helena is ice-strengthened and equipped with powerful engines, ensuring safe navigation of Antarctica’s remote coastlines and beyond. Guests can look forward to Zodiac cruises, kayaking, camping and a dynamic science program supported by onboard experts.

Dining aboard the St Helena combines comfort, tradition and a warm sense of community. Guests enjoy freshly prepared international cuisine, with buffet-style breakfasts and lunches followed by multi-course dinners, all offered with open seating. Meals take place in an elegant dining room where round tables dressed in white tablecloths create a classic yet welcoming atmosphere.

This relaxed dining style provides the perfect setting to share stories of the day’s adventures with fellow travellers. Tea and coffee are available throughout the day, while house beer, wine and soft drinks are included with lunch and dinner. Generous portions, quality dishes, and a convivial atmosphere make dining aboard the St Helena an integral and memorable part of the expedition experience.
