Royal Mail Ship (RMS) St. Helena provides multi-destination cruises from Cape Town or Portland to St. Helena, Tenerife, and Ascension Island. Cruises of various lengths set sail throughout the year. Most are approximately 20 days with multiple stops, but there is a shorter, more economical option of a 13-day cruise to only St. Helena. Fares appear on the website and bookings can be made a year in advance.

P&O Cruises is a British-owned line that offers worldwide cruises. Visiting St. Helena on a P&O ship requires booking a multi-destination vacation. Upon arriving in St. Helena, two featured shore excursions are options. Both are scenic island tours with an emphasis on the history of Jamestown. The island holds The Emperor Napoleon's last house, and is always a stop on the shore excursions. P&O cruises can be booked up to two years in advance on the website.

Brisbane Cruises has the fastest direct service to St. Helena. Brisbane Cruises organizes school field trips to explore the former penal colony. At night, guests can participate in a night-time comedic ghost tour where they are threatened with the punishment of chains and incarceration. Bachelor and bachelorette parties, weddings and receptions are available on the boats or on the island. Brisbane Cruises is a smaller line, so public voyages are planned four to five months in advance. Private voyages are possible for special events.
