Things to know before you go
Tristan da Cuhna is the world's most remote inhabited island.
​

​
And, of course. Napoleon was exiled to St. Helena after losing the war..
​
What make this trip special?
This itinerary is for the incurable explorer beginning in Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost city in the world and eventually disembarking in the Cape Verde Islands—more than a thousand miles north of the equator. You will enjoy a range of climates and habitats, (both human and animal) but most of all you will have the opportunity to visit a combination of remote islands that are typically the sole destination of a single journey.
Previously, we have led tours to The Falklands and South Georgia, but never before have we ventured to Tristan da Cuhna or St. Helena.
Although some may find the number of days at sea a bit daunting, they are filled with lectures—if you so choose, or getting caught-up on reading, or enjoying the glorious views of the sea.

Seaventure
In the world of expedition ships, Seaventure is big enough to enjoy traveling comfortably in "challenging" seas yet small enough to enjoy a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. With only 140 fellow passengers, Seaventure will soon feel like home. She is equipped with state -of-the art stabilizers, a lounge with a 270-degree view, and a menu that features cuisines from around the world.
