Terra Nova Expeditions will operate its 2026/27 and 2027/28 Antarctic seasons aboard Terra Nova Adventurer. St Helena cannot reposition in time for these seasons, prompting the vessel assignment.

What this means for booking

Passengers who select Terra Nova Expeditions for 2026/27 or 2027/28 will sail on Terra Nova Adventurer, not an alternative vessel. The ship determines cabin availability, onboard facilities, deck plans and operational capabilities. Buyers should verify these specifications against their requirements before confirming a booking.

Next steps

Contact Terra Nova Expeditions directly to request Terra Nova Adventurer's cabin types, deck plans and itinerary details for these seasons. Also ask about St Helena's status for other Antarctic seasons, which is not clarified in the announcement. Vessel choice is a core part of the expedition decision, not a detail to confirm later.

Questions

Does this affect pricing or availability for 2026/27 and 2027/28?

The announcement concerns only the vessel assignment. Pricing and availability changes would come directly from Terra Nova Expeditions.

Why can St Helena not reposition in time?

The operator did not disclose the reason. Contact Terra Nova Expeditions for detail on St Helena's schedule and operational status.
