The Terra Nova Expeditions story

Founded in 2024, Terra Nova Expeditions is an independent expedition cruise company led by seasoned polar experts with close to 100 years experience in our industry. Built on collaboration and community input, we are truly a company owned by the Antarctic community. We offer small-ship adventures that are authentic, intimate, and unforgettable—true expeditions in every sense.

Our fleet is one of a kind in Antarctica, featuring carefully selected vessels designed for intimate, immersive exploration. Joining our iconic flagship St Helena and the world’s first sail/cruise expedition aboard Icebird ; a sailing yacht for just six guests.
