Where We Go
The RMS St Helena visits many places en route to St Helena Island. Click on the photos below to find out more about each destination.
St. Helena
Geologically, it is an island of contrasts. In part, a desert with multi-hued ridges and 1,000 ft-high cliffs of bronze-coloured volcanic rock; part green pastures and lush, vegetation filled valleys. There are also a number of unique, endemic plants and wildlife.
Cape Town
Cape Town is one of the world’s most beautiful ports, with the grandeur of flat-topped Table Mountain as a background to the famous and picturesque V&A waterfront.
Portland
Weymouth Bay and Portland Port are extremely popular for sailing enthusiasts and has hosted several large sailing events on an international and national basis. They are used for other water sports – the reliable wind is favourable for wind and kite-surfing.
Ascension
Ascension is peaceful, tranquil and pretty unspoilt. There are no big hotels or nightclubs, but there is magnificent bird and marine life, beautiful beaches, fascinating countryside (there are 44 distinctive volcanic craters, for example – all very dormant) and some of the best sports fishing available.
Tenerife
The seven major Canary Islands are scattered over 300 miles of the Atlantic Ocean, starting about 60 miles northwest of Morocco in Africa. The archipelago is part of Spain, and the islands have a diverse climate and topography.
