Small Ship, Big Adventures
With the St Helena carrying just 98 passengers, the vessel is designed for intimate exploration, offering more frequent and longer shore excursions than larger vessels. This smaller group size allows guests to fully immerse themselves in Antarctica's pristine landscapes and abundant wildlife, free from the crowds and constraints of mass-market cruises, all at a level of comfort which exceeds expectations.
A World-First: Day Sailing in Antarctica
Terra Nova Expeditions is redefining polar travel with the introduction of day sailing in Antarctica—a global first. Guests will have the unique opportunity to explore Antarctic waters aboard a second vessel, experiencing the untouched polar seas in a way never before offered. The company is also rolling out additional cruise-and-sail combinations, another innovative first for the industry. Allowing passengers to experience the solitude of sailing with just 6 other guests in Antarctica, without crossing the Drake passage under sail.
Adventure Awaits
More than just scenic cruising, Terra Nova's expeditions include a wide range of adventure activities—all included in the trip cost along with drinks at meals, onboard yoga and wellness, wifi and gratuities:
