RMS St Helena in St. Helena, Ascension Island, Saint Helena | Tourism

RMS St. Helena or the Royal Mail Ship St. Helena is unique.
She is the only ocean-going vessel in the world still to carry the venerable title of Royal Mail Ship, held in the past by so many famous British passenger liners, the Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary amongst them.
In addition to carrying passengers in well-fed comfort, she is almost the sole source of supply of all goods for her island namesake. From wind turbines to automotive parts; sheep, goats, and Christmas turkeys to furniture, food and paint, everything has to be carried by ship to the island. This is part of the fascination. RMS St. Helena is not just a passenger vessel; it's a working ship, plying the Atlantic Ocean, carrying goods and people nearly halfway around the world. When you sail on the RMS, you are following in the wake of the generations of travellers and explorers who crossed the world's oceans in the leisured days before air travel. A voyage on the RMS St. Helena is an unforgettable experience: a blue water voyage on a working ship to lonely and remote tropical islands.
