About |
Terra Nova Expeditions is a specialist in small ship Antarctic travel, delivering intimate, sustainable voyages aboard vessels with character and history. Our flagship, the RMS St Helena, is a legendary Royal Mail Ship reborn for polar exploration, offering under 100 passengers the rare chance to combine classic expedition cruising with diving and adventure activities. For the ultimate in exclusivity, our 6-passenger Icebird yacht provides a true sailing expedition experience, navigating remote anchorages and ice-choked bays beyond the reach of larger ships.
With a commitment to conservation and meaningful travel, Terra Nova crafts itineraries that maximise time ashore, provide close wildlife encounters, and offer flexible exploration led by experienced polar guides. From photographers and divers to sailors and history enthusiasts, our voyages cater to travellers seeking authenticity, connection, and adventure in the world’s most remote continent.
Whether crossing the Drake Passage under sail or exploring the Antarctic Peninsula from a historic vessel, Terra Nova Expeditions delivers journeys as unique as the destination itself.
