A new cruise lets holidaymakers retrace Napoleon's steps to the island of St Helena, where he was exiled until his death.
Holidaymakers looking for a cruise with a difference might be interested in the newest offering from St Helena Line.
The company's latest cruise lets travellers take a voyage to the island of St Helena, which is where Napoleon Bonaparte spent his final years after being exiled.
Situated in the South Atlantic, the remote island enjoys a warm climate year-round and boasts some spectacular sunsets.
St Helena Line's new cruise departs from Cape Town and includes onboard lectures and discussions led by an expert from Oxford University that take place during the five-day journey to St Helena.
Once on the island, travellers will be able to see a host of attractions and sites relating to Napoleon's later years during their eight-day stay, including Longwood House - where he lived until his death in 1821 - and his tomb, which is located just outside the capital, Jamestown.
The cruise ship itself, the RMS St Helena, is one of the last working Royal Mail ships in the world and still ferries cargo to and from St Helena.
It may be a good idea to take out
travel insurance to cover the trip to St Helena in case illness occurs at any point during the holiday.
