The MV St Helena built in 1989 in Aberdeen, Scotland.
Mv St Helena was conceived as a dual-purpose logistics-passenger vessel to serve the remote British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, situated in the South Atlantic Ocean.
In 2020 and 2021, the Saint Helena underwent an extensive, multi-million-dollar refit and modernization. Honoring its distinguished heritage, this ship has been transformed into a world-class expedition platform, offering guests unparalleled journeys to Antarctica and beyond while preserving the legacy of its past.
Saint Helena is operated by Terra Nova Expedition.
Icebird Expeditions is proud to be partnering with Terra Nova on this innovative new expedition format.
Icebird Expeditions will take care of bookings when St Helena is part of our expedition.
