The RMS St. Helena is a historic expedition vessel beautifully reimagined for modern discovery, offering a blend of classic character and contemporary comfort. Originally built as a Royal Mail Ship, she has been thoughtfully refurbished to provide a warm, welcoming environment for immersive travel to some of the world’s most remote regions. Purpose-built for long ocean journeys, the vessel now sails with a limited group of 98 guests, ensuring a more intimate and personalised expedition experience.

On board, guests enjoy spacious observation lounges, open deck areas, two Jacuzzis, a gym, a spa, and a dedicated science lab designed to bring learning and exploration to life. Cabins are comfortable and modern, with a variety of single, twin, triple and interconnecting options suited to solo travellers, couples, families or friends.

Throughout your voyage, you’ll be treated to thoughtfully crafted meals, engaging lectures, guided shore landings, Zodiac excursions and opportunities to participate in scientific and educational programs. The RMS St. Helena offers a warm, community-style atmosphere that enriches every moment of the journey.
