A unique opportunity to travel by cargo ship from Cape Town to the island of Saint Helena and Rupert’s Bay in the South Atlantic Ocean. Saint Helena is an island of volcanic origin in the southern Atlantic Ocean, about 2,000 km west of the African coast. It is part of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha and is entirely economically dependent on the United Kingdom. The inhabitants of Saint Helena call themselves Saints. The population is descended from three groups: descendants of African slaves, Chinese indentured laborers, and British settlers. Saint Helena is best known for the fact that Napoleon Bonaparte spent the last years of his life in exile on the island (October 15, 1815 – May 5, 1821) and died there.
The ship calls at the port of Rupert’s Bay, and on about every fourth voyage, it also calls at the neighboring island of Ascension before returning to Cape Town via Walvis Bay and Lüderitz.
Departure Dates: The shipping company currently offers one departure per month. Bookings are made for a departure date between the 1st and the 31st of the month.
The embarkation date can be set approximately 6 weeks before departure. The ship will be anchored in Saint Helena for about a week!
Due to the ship's small size and the area in which it operates, passengers must be comfortable with rough seas, as significant ship motion is to be expected in all seasons.
